Comments: Dr. Hemant GHATE (Pune, India) informed me that he had reared
from the same egg cluster specimens coloured like typical Ch. bipunctata and
typical Ch. promiscua, as well as intermediate forms. Thus, Ch. promiscua
represents only extreme colour aberration of Ch. bipunctata widespread in India
and polymorphic.
