There is in the Joicey collection a curious aberration of 

 this species. It is a j" from Ft. Chicquaqua, Mashona- 

 land. There is a spot in the f.-w. cell followed by one in 

 the discocellulars, and three subapical spots. The h.-w. 

 has one spot only, that on the discocellulars. The h.-w. 

 hind-marginal border is black and rather deeply edentate 

 between the nervules, and bears indications of paler inter- 

 nervular marginal spots.
