 the following was queried as H. mafa ; the two forms, if distinct, 

 are very closely allied.

 Salisbury, 2nd July; Gadzima, 17th August and 19th September, 

 1895. 



These were labelled as 0. Jiarona "Westw., but we possess every 

 link to typical 0. ruso Mab. ; the species is a very variable one, 

 as I suspect the following also is. 



^ The wet form has the groirad-colour of the wings smoky brown instead of 

 golden brown and ochraceous (aee figure).
