Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Lycœna amyntula, var. Herrii, n. var.— ♀ expanse, 1.25 in.; differs from typical amyntula by the replacement of the dark area of the primaries by a narrow black band about 1 mm. wide, and on the secondaries by only two red crescents instead of five as in typical amyntula. On the under side the markings are all much heavier.
♂ expanse, 1.00 in.; differs from ♂ of typical amyntula in having a black margin about 1 mm. wide, whereas there is none in typical amyntula, or, if any, a very slight trace. On the under side the markings are much more heavy. The male of this variety is also much smaller than the male of typical amyntula, and the tails seem more distinct in this variety.
