In true damon this spot is strongly outcurved, crescent shaped, lying 

 in the cell well outside of the costal spot. In castalis this spot is very 

 slightly crescent shaped, nearly straight, not outcurved as far into the 

 cell, nearly underneath the costal spot.

The western race also gives rise to a form with dark upper surface cor- 

 responding identically to smilacis but with the under side of castalis. To this 

 form the authors apply the name hrehmei. Four of the paratypes have traces 

 of the lighter brown showing thru the dark upper surface.
