1. glyphica Linn. — Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 659. S • 



Head and thorax orange-brown, abdomen black with scat- 

 tered ochreous hairs, the apex more ochreous ; superior 

 wings rosy brown with a dark brown patch at the base, a 

 broad rich brown fascia across the middle, the ground co- 

 lour forming a band down the middle; sometimes there is 

 an oval spot on the disc of the same colour, and towards the 

 apex a triangular brown spot : inferior wings orange, the 

 base and cilia black, as well as a fimbria more or less rayed 

 internally, and 2 waved lines from the anal angle across the 

 disc : underside bright orange with a black spot on the disc 

 of each wing, and several of the lines and spots on the upper 

 side slightly traced. 



This species is widely distributed from the extreme north 

 to the south of England : it appears the beginning of June in 

 or near clover fields. The Caterpillar feeds upon the Trifo- 

 linm pratense. 



2. Mi Linn.— Wood, pi. 17./ 448. 



Griseous, superior wings with a broad blackish abbreviated 

 fascia margined with ochre, bilobed towards the inferior 

 margin, with a round black dot towards the costa, and a 

 large lunate one edged externally with ochre beyond it, an 

 ochreous striga and a row of conical black spots towards the 

 posterior margin : inferior wings black with a large bright 

 ochreous spot near the base and 2 waved fasciae divided by 

 black nervures often forming spots; cilia ochreous, spotted 

 with black, margins of abdominal segments pale : underside 

 orange with black spots and angulated lines. 

 This is a common species in clover fields in many parts of 

 England ; it has also been found in Scotland ; I have met with 

 it in lanes at Southgate the middle of May, and in June in ele- 

 vated pasture land near Slaughter, Gloucestershire. The Cater- 

 pillar feeds upon Medicago falcata, the Clover and Lucern; and 

 some that I found at Dover the middle of August were eating 

 the leaves of some grass, and so nearly resembled the larva; 

 oi' Aspilates gilvaria, pi. 4G7, that until I observed the 4 ab- 

 dominal feetl thought they belonged to that species of Moth. 



The Plant is Trifolium snbterrancum, Subterraneous Trefoil, 

 conununicated by J. J. Bennett, Esq.
