Varieties of M. funesta. 
This species is very variable, but there seem to be two main 
varieties in West Africa, as follows :—. 
Variety UMBROSA. DN. V. 
Costa black at the base, unbroken by the typical small pale 
spot. Veins with dusky scales predominating, the pale scaled 
areas restricted to the region of the cross-veins and bases of the 
fork-cells and on the fifth long vein ; the third long vein dark, as

Gambia (Dr. Dutton) (vide Plate IT.). 
Variety SUBUMBROSA. 0. V. 
Costa black at the base, unbroken by any pale spot. Dusky _ 
scales predominating, but not contrasted, as in the type, with the 
pale scaled areas. Third long vein pale scaled in the middle, and
