Stal (En. Hem. iii. p. 15), comparing this species with 

 P. ditissima, remarks : — " Lirabus flavescens ventris an- 

 gustior quam in speciebus prsecedentibus." The margin to 

 the abdomen is, however, variable, being as wide as in 

 ditissima in the specimens Walker described under the name 

 of C. solita, and narrowing in other specimens till the 

 margin is practically obsolete.
