  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  common, 
  and, 
  in 
  its 
  markings, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   most 
  variabh? 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  Typhlocijhas., 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  de- 
  

   scribed 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  eight 
  times 
  under 
  different 
  names. 
  

   Fitch's 
  Erythronenra 
  vitifex 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  (com- 
  

   pletely 
  covered 
  by 
  Say's 
  description 
  of 
  comes, 
  so 
  1 
  have 
  

   not 
  retained 
  the 
  name 
  as 
  representing 
  a 
  variety 
  at 
  all 
  dis- 
  

   tinct 
  from 
  what 
  Say 
  described. 
  

  

  Say's 
  description 
  is 
  as 
  follows:

  of 
  which 
  the 
  outei' 
  one 
  is 
  small 
  and 
  the

  a 
  very 
  oblique

  two 
  behind

  of 
  which 
  the

  The 
  line 
  and 
  spot 
  on 
  the

  the

  of 
  the

  are 
  sometimes 
  obsolete, 
  

   but 
  always 
  visible, 
  and 
  the 
  latter

  sometimes 
  connected 
  by 
  curving 
  toward 
  the 
  

   anterior

  of

  The 
  spots
