Dr. Felder remarks with regard to this insect : — " The form of the 

 wings differs proportionably from all the examples of G. Leda, from 

 many localities, now before us. The front wings are longer in the 

 inner margin ; the hind wings likewise are broader, but shorter 

 within than in G. Leda." 



Notwithstanding, I cannot think it is more than a variety ; for 

 I am fully convinced that this species is capable of almost any 

 amount of variation in form as well as in colour.
