6 ? . Variable in tlie distinctness of tlie markings of the forewing, and in size. 

 The transverse lines disajipear sometimes, the discal streaks become faint in manj- 

 specimens and the secoud is often absent. 



3. The harpe (PI. XXXIX. f. 12) is acnminate, or dentate, at end; its ventral 

 edge is either entire, as in fignre, or bears a more or less distinct triangular jirojection 

 in middle ; the tenth steruite is variable in width. Tenth segment see PI.

<??. Only two spiHiniens are known; they differ from conifentrum and 

 hoinlii/coidi'x m the forewing being devoid of the discal streaks and of distinct 

 transverse lines. 



Lintner comjjares the larva and imago only with homhijco'uks (= harvisi). In 

 onr oiiinion, pineum is nothing else but an extreme aberration of the variable 

 roni/ertirum. The two s])eciraens should be re-e.Karained.
