The specimen figured is the type lent to us by Dr. Holland. 



The distally sharply defined oblique baud of the forewing, together with 

 the dentate distal edges of the wing, enable one to distinguish this species easily 

 from sardainis, while it can be differentiated at a glance from ^antus by the acute 

 apex of the forewing, the more evenly dentate distal margin, the darker under 

 surface, etc.
