172 LORD WALSINGHAM on [Jan. 19, 



grey, anal tuft inclining to ochreous ; 2 cinereous, with paler hairs 

 towards the base. Legs subochreous, dusted with greyish fuscous. 



Type, J Mus. Wlsm. ; 2 Mus. Hedemann. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Croix, 21 IV.-13 VI. (Gfvdmann, 

 Hedemann, Pontoppidan). Ten specimens. 



In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I must regard the 

 ten specimens before me as belonging to one variable species ; the 

 general pattern of the markings is retained wherever these are 

 traceable, but in some they are entirely obliterated ; the ground- 

 colour varies from tawny reddish to pale cinereous, with more or 

 less suffusion. The females also exhibit pale and dark varieties.
