Snelleni, Hedem., is certainly a dark form of E. ahjecta, 

 Butl. The species is variable as regards coloration, and 

 ranges from dark reddish brown through pale reddish brown 

 to a pale whity brown with reddish-brovrn outer margin.s. 

 In some of the dark specimens the wings are unicolorous ; 

 in others the basal area of primaries is paler. 



Meyrick (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, p. 112) places 

 Snelleni in Metrocampa and considers it synonymous with 

 indictinaria, Brem.
