The species may be at once distinguished by the character given ii. 

 the key. The upper internal vein of cell in fore wing is somewhat 

 variable. In most specimens it is normal (that is from between veins 

 10 and 11). In some, however, it comes from between 9 and 10, 

 and in a few is entirely lost. It is interesting to note that when 

 there is a variation from the normal in this respect it is not the same 

 in both right and left fore wings of any particular specimen.
