Walker describes under rrotonis botli the form with abdominsil dorsal stripe 

 and the form without it. As he calls the former " var. /3" and " var. 7," Bntler 

 was certainly wrong in figuring it as typical crotonis. Maassen, I.e., has already 

 drawn attention to the mistake. Walker described four varieties, but had only 

 three specimens (a — c), I.e.
