This variety differs from typical K. aurtvittnta in the shape of the fascia of the anterior 

 wings, which, as depicted by Mr. Moore, is widened beneath the cell. Although I previously 

 described the form here figured as specifically distinct, I think its natural position is better 

 represented by the formula "variety."
