Hampson puts tropica and maculosa together, but though they are 

 found in the same localities, I cannot believe they are the same 

 species ; he has figured the former which is a yellow insect ; macu- 

 losa is white and the markings are not similar to those in tropica. 

 I have both sexes of both species.
