Show 172 LORD WALSINGHAM ON [Jan. 19, grey, anal tuft inclining to ochreous ; 2 cinereous, with towards the base. Legs subochreous, dusted with greyish fuscous. Type, 3 Mus. Wlsm.; 2 Mus. Hedemann. Hab. West Indies-ST. CROIX, 21 IV.-13 VI. (Gudmann, Hedemann, Pontoppldan). Ten specimens. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I must regard the ten specimens before me as belonging to one variable species ; the general pattern of the markings is retained wherever these are traceable, but in some they are entirely obliterated; the groundcolour varies from tawny reddish to pale cinereous, with more or less suffusion. The females also exhibit pale and dark varieties. 114. ANAPHORA, Clem. 289. ANAPHORA POPEANELLA, Clem. - AGROTIPENNELLA, Grt.14; =8CARDINA, Z.14 Anaphora popeanella, Clem. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil.
