Population of the
Zoila marginata albanyensis

 mar2GIF.gif (44455 bytes)

This is a sample of the Zoila marginata albanyensis and
its forms from the population off Southwest Australia.
This is one of the largest [on the average] marginata and is also
most unique in the albinistic dorsum. Although many specimens
exhibit cloudy dorsal markings, typical sharply defined dorsal spots
are mostly absent within the population.
