_ Signoret notes that the form of the anal appendage in the female 

 distinguishes this variable and widely-distributed species. It is 

 very large, deeply emarginate, covering a great part of the vulvar 

 plates, more or less round on the sides, and in shape like two 

 approximated lobes. 



The varieties here enumerated only refer to those which I have 

 seen from British India.
