The only examples now representing this species in the collec- 

 tion are what I believe to be a male variety of H. cii;n,e(i, and a 

 female ? Sj>tl()--^onM (u'lylidcd, without abdomen ; what Mr. 

 Walker may have done with the species since Mr. Grote 

 described it, it is impossible to say.

If Mr. Walker has rightly identified //. textor, (as Mr. Stretch 

 tacitly admits) ; the S. Candida of the supplement is a decidedly 

 larger and more woolly insect : still Mr. Grote may be correct 

 in considering the two forms con-specific

I believe this to be only a vai'iety of //. niiKsa, with wbich all 

 th(! whit(! examples ( ^ and ^ ) must be associated ; it difiers 

 from the typical form in only possessing one series of lilack 

 spots on primaries, there is however an intermediate form with 

 only the two central series prominent, whilst the typical form 

 has four series on |n"imaries and oiii' on secondni'ies.
