We had considered this a dwarf desert form of klugij but have recently' receKed both Idugi and 
mingas from the same locjxlities. This species appears on the wing a month to sixweeks earlier than 
klugij and ma^' be recognised Iiy its smaller size, pale colouring, and the .yellow-brown dorsum of fore- 
Aving above. In proportion to its size its paler markings are much more extensive.
