Var. albicollis Fab. ' Considered by the French ento- 

 mologists to be a distinct species ' (Kirby). Basal 

 area of the fore wings entirely white, and the cen- 

 tral dark band narrower than in the type. This band 

 is much invaded by the white of the basal portions 

 in 2046. In the hind wings the marginal dark band 

 is also narrower (extremely narrow in 2044), and the 

 basal area is clear white, except in 734, 735, and 736, 

 where the three brown rays of the type persist, 

 though they are much restricted. Cf. South, II. PI. 

 19, fig. 9. Barrett, Plate 246, fig. 3. is a representa- 

 tion of this variety under the name of Acontia Solaris.

There is in the above series some variation in the size, 

 shape, and colour of the light costal patch in the fore 

 wings, which is white in 465, and tinged more or less 

 with ochreous in all others of the series — most strong- 

 ly in 466. The central white band of the hind wings 

 is widest in 464, and narrowest in 3296.
