In the two specimens that I saw, on the upper wings the spots 

 on the fold and on the cross-vein and the bar from the tip of the 

 wing were very dark, and almost united ; so that the general effect 

 was that of a band running from the base over the cross-vein to 

 the tip of the wing. The time of flight is July.

July.

 not to be so brightly marked as specimens from some Scottish 

 localities. It flies in June and July.
