 Sajo in describing his ab. hiamstdlata in F.iit. Xac/ir. 273. 3. (1881) 

 as under : — 



"3. \Av. bi<y)nst,'llata, in'ih\ — Fliigdd. mit 9 Pnnkten : 3, 4,

 appears to have been unaware of Haworth's earlier name for this 

 aberration and consequently ab. biconstellata, Sajo sinks as a synonym. 

 Taken by Uv. H. St. J. K. Donisthorpe (1920) at Barton Mills.' 

 Formula : 3, 4, 5, 6, |. 



13. ab. jidii, n.ab. 



This aberration, which differ only from ab. veio.r. Ws. (1879) in the 

 confluence of spots 4 and 5, is first mentioned by Weise (1885) in his 

 omnibus group of ab. neglccta, Ws. (1879) and for reference I append 

 an extract of this group : — 



"f. Fid. mit 11 P. aa. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, h {neqlecta, Ws.) ; bb. 1, 



3, 4 + 5, 6, J ; cc. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6," i; dd. 1, 2, 4 + 5, 6, 



1; ee. 2, 3, 4^ 5, 6, h ; ft". 2, 3, 4 + 5, 6, .^ . . . . 



V. neijlecta, W'eise." 



Of this group : — aa. = ab. nei/lerta, Ws. (1879) ; bb. = ab. 



abhreviata, Ws. (1879) ; cc. = ab. velo.v, Ws. (1879) ; dd. = ab. julii, 



mihi ; ee. = ab. undecim punctata, Schrank (1781) and ff. = ab. everfsi, 



mihi (1922). 



Formula: 1, 2, 4 + 5, 6, i. 



14. ab. evertsi, n.ab. 



This is the aberration if. of Weise's (1885) group of f. wrongly 

 grouped under ab. nei/lecta, Ws., where it cannot be left. 



It is in fact in the spots 4 and 5 a confluent form of ab. iDuleciin- 

 jiiinrtata, Schrank. 



Formula : 2, 3, 4 + 5, 6, |. 



15. ab. liinetta, n.ab. 



This aberration with thirteen spots has two confluences, viz., '6 + ^, 

 and 5 + 4 + 6, the latter confluence being so far as I know quite 

 unique, and the inverse of ab. bearei, mihi. 



In form this latter confluence resembles the " merry-thought " of 

 a fowl, and I have therefore ventured to give it the name of "lunetta,'^ 

 after " lunette," the French for " merry-thought." 



Taken at Tientsin by Mr. F. M. Thompson, in July, 1902. 



Type in General Collection of the Nat. Hist. Museum, S. Kensing- 

 ton (1904, 229). 



Formula : 1, 2, 3 + *, 5 + 4 + 6. 



16. ab. com Ilia, n.ab. 



Tbis aberration has also thirteen spots, with Nos. 1 and 3 con- 

 fluent in the shape of a comma, hence its name. Spots 4, 6 and 6 are 

 unformly large. 



Taken at Njoro, B.E.A., by Mr. T. J. Anderson, 



Type in General Collection of the Nat. Hist. Museum, S. Kensing- 

 ton (i911, 384). 



Formula : 1 + 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, |.
