more probable by the fact that Mr. Goodwin — after whom I have 

 the pleasure of naming the most striking of the two forms under 

 notice — has taken at least two individuals darker than any that 

 he could submit to me; these, however, being females, were kept 

 for ova (which alas! proved infertile), and consequently were 

 useless for the cabinet. I also learn from him that the insect is 

 not common in the locality that produces these remarkable 

 aberrations, and that only about 10 per cent. — or possibly 

 15 per cent. — of the specimens met with there are, to a greater 

 or less extent, darker than the type. 



These dusky A. testaceata furnish additional proof of the 

 unexpected wealth of Kent in melanic forms of Lepidoptera, 

 to which I called attention in Ent. Mo. Mag. ser. 2, xvi. 90 

 (1905).
