The specimens oi H. jasonia are very variable in the tint of the 

 ground-colour of their wings, some being almost greyish white, 

 others dusky white, whilst some are fuliginous brown. The form 

 of wings and pattern of markings in these differently coloftred spe- 

 cimens do not vary to any appreciable extent. These differences in 

 coloration may be the result of seasonal broods, of which probably 

 there are two or more, as, according to Capt. Hutchison, this insect 

 may be found on the wing all the year in the Western, Central, and 

 Southern Provinces of the island.
