Fig. 155 represents a form in which the wings are densely suffused with fuscous, except along the costa of the fore wing and in the posterior half of the hind wing. Fig. 156 represents a form with a dark tilleul buff ground colour to the wings, intensified terminad ; the medial area in this form, posterior of the subcostal vein, is intensely fuscous black. Fig. 163 represents a female in which there is a broad fascia of warm buff instead of the postmedial fascia on each wing and a similar fascia on the fore wing proximad of the antemedial fascia. The species evidently represents acaciaria in the Comoro Islands, as betularia and flavivenata do in continental Africa.
