Pyrameis afalanta. Girard records the occurrence of a variety of this 
species with two white spots on the red band of the anterior wings. Bull. 
Soc. Ent. Fi*. 1865, p. 1. 
Vanessa antiopa. Specimens taken at Cannes, in April 1865, had the 
borders of the wings white, though quite fresh. The insect appears to be 
double-brooded there. Timins, Proc. Ent. Soc. 1865, p. 102. 
Vanessa urticce is said, by II. Doubleday, to produce two broods in the 
year. Entomologist, ii. p. 294.
