Is this male Historia a mosaic or an aberration ? Since I have been unable to find a picture of the female I can not tell. Thanks for the help. Attachments:

I'd say aberration, as the female Historis odius has the same coloration with the male. Here is a female(the photo is not mine,this female was sold on ebay). Thanos Attachments:

I agree with thanos (as usual). At first glance it may appear to be a bilateral mosaic, but since the sexes are similar in this species, aberration is a better moniker to put on it.
Would be interesting to know what induced it, temperature, chemical, etc; and when from binucleate ova or up to soon after it pupated.

it looks like a solarisation (occuring on one side may be during pupal stage)
