Extract

The examination of samples of Antestiopsis orbitalis (Westw.) from different parts of South Africa has shown complete intergradation between the colour patterns of the typical subspecies and that of the form facetus (Germ.), hitherto of indeterminate infraspecific status, and the latter name is suppressed. Additional localities of ocurrence are given for A. orbitalis, and Antestia rufovittata Dist. is redescribed and transferred to Antestiopsis.
