Fruhstorfer wishes to distinguish two subspecies of this species, one 

 Malika from W. J. and the other Volsa from E. J. I am familiar with 

 specimens of both sexes both from W. J. and E. J., but can see nothing but 

 individual differences in them. Snellen does not recognize as a separate species 

 the c form Aspra, as Doherty and de Niceville do. Indeed there are 

 specimens which must be regarded as transitions, and the only difference consists 

 in a somewhat greater extent of white in Aspra, which is nothing but a 

 phenomenon of colour evolution, so far only appearing in some individuals. 

 This form occurs both in \\^ J. and in E. J.
