This interesting variety only ilitlers from the normal form in the colour of the spots on the 

 iinjcr-surlijce, whicli in tlie tyjiical li. Cures are all black, whilst in this form they are mostly blue or 

 ^'roeu. These spots occupy precisely the same positions that they do in the normal form, which proves, 

 notwitiistanding the number of specinuiis (three of each sex), that this is nothing more than an 

 aberration.
