The form named Harrisi does not differ from tessellaris in the imaginal stage. The sole difference is in the color of the pencils of hairs in the larvae, which are orange in color, while in tessellaris they are black. This is scarcely sufficient ground in tessellaris they are black. This is scarcely sufficient ground upon which to establish a species.
