Although resembhng A. prorsa, Liu., in reality more nearly 

 allied to A. bit re/ana, Brem. ; the diffei-ences existing between 

 them being similai" to those which obtain between A. levana and 

 prorsa, it might be inferred that they are only permanent 

 dimorphic conditions of one species l)ut the assertion of 

 Mr. I''. Jonas that they appear at the same season and in 

 different localities is opposed to this inference.
