Distribution: Louisiana. Unfortunately I am unable to throw light on the interesting question of the nature of this melanic derivative of the previous species. It is here given specific rank with the greatest hesitancy. Typical pattern as in fig. 44, d. Var. C Mulsant. With the light mark reduced and divided into two smaller ones. The lateral one may not reach the margin. Var. D. As in fig. 44, e. 305
