Walker says that his E. vigens is " nearly allied to E. graniinusa 

 but the abdomen is not crested," it Avould have been more 

 strictly correct to say " but the dorsal tufts have been rubbed 

 off."

This species varies considerably in tint and iu the distinctness 

 of the markings on the under surface; we however possess all 

 gradations between the extreme forms.
