tipidiformis, but of the same color. The frhiges of both wings are also 

 much narrower than in the common species, and of less coppery hue. 

 The species has the appearance, however, of a much dwarfed form of

 not agree with his description, and in the absence of his type for com- 

 parison, I am not able positively to decide the question.
