Tliis species is exccedln(j;ly variable, as mij^ht be expected 

 in a Cnstnia mimicking a Melinaea. In the series betore mo 



1 tind males as pale as the female tiuured by lioulbert 

 (Etud. Lep. Comp. fasc. xv. pi. cdlis. tig. 3841) and one 

 female as dark as tiie male figured on same plate (tig. 3S4(^) ; 

 one male has submarginal row of pale yellow spots, and 

 others have but one or two, while the majovity want them 

 entirelv. The amount of black on hind wing is also very 

 variable, some specimens having nearly all the wing black, 

 and from these are all variations to a specimen which has but 

 a slifrht suffusion of black scales.
