Capnodes oA/iYfrrtte, Walker, Lep. Het. xv. p. 1600, 



B. 1 (1858). 



Capnodes sufficiens and " Thermesia^'' prospera are 

 allied species ; the latter is clearly very similar to 



C. anhypa, althongli distinct.

If Felder's insect is distinct, it is one of the most closely- 

 allied species in existence ; but I think there can be little 

 doubt that it is a very slight variety of C. imitans.
