(5) xii. p. 102 (1883). Omrora (August), Ehanda (September), Omaramba-Oamatako (January). Six male and one female specimens. In the males there is much variation in the development and distinctness of the fulvous-ochreous spots in the dark hind-marginal border, ranging from even completeness throughout to obsolescence in the fore wings and partial obsolescence in the hind wings. The abbreviated subapical dark marking of the fore wings also varies considerably, and in two males and the only female is reduced to an irregularly subcrescentic moderate-sized spot.
