Examples from onr most noi’thern locality have the hyaline spots of forewing distinctly larger, the 
greenish bands beneath broader (in one female the whole of the black areas of hindwing, except 
narrow margins, are greenish white), and the white tips of cilia absent. 
In Proceedings Linnean Society N. S. Wales 1S91, j>. 30, OlIilT described a variety of this species 
as E. albo-ornalus'. avc have two examjiles of (his from the Richmond R. (January): the hj'aline spots 
are white instead of yellow.
