 Mountains, Simplon and Gadmenthal. This name may perhaps be 

 retained to distinguish the white forms of costorata, the older name 

 designating the cinereous specimens. 



VI. " Markings reduced almost to vanishing point," only a rrri/ 

 small spot on the costa remaining = ab. delcta, Ckll., Eiitaui., xxii., 

 100 (1889). — This is, of course, merely an extreme development of the 

 ab. costorata, but I would point out that when the costal spot is reduced 

 absolutely to a minimum, it is generally rather triangular than sub-oval 

 in form ; and as I believe Mr. South's specimen, which furnishes the 

 type of this name {Prac. S. L<nuJ. Ent. Soc, 1886, p. 4-4), belonged to 

 this form, it will be quite legitimate thus to restrict the name ilclcta, 

 merely, however, as a very slight sub-variety of ab. costovata. H.-S. 

 292, has the blotch triangular, though not extremely reduced. 



n. Central fascia wanting = ab. ininiartihita, Tutt, Knt. lice., i., 

 322 (1891). — I have already detailed the few specimens of this extreme 

 form known to me. Specimens with a non-costal remnant of the 

 dark colour round the central spot are perhaps also better referred here 

 than anywhere else ; one such may be seen in the Doubleday collection. 



Note. — Examples combining the characteristics of the aberrations 

 rostovata and inranata, had best be described simply by compounding 

 the names. 



One last phase of aberration, exemplified in two or three specimens 

 in the Zeller collection, does not fall under any of the above heads. 

 This I denote — 



n. Ab. confiiso, n. ab. — The outer area of forewings, especially on 

 costal half, longitudinally smeared with the dark colour, presenting 

 the appearance of having had water poured on the central fascia, which 

 had caused the colour to "run." The aberration is very hard to 

 describe, but has a very characteristic aspect.

 DESCRIPTION. — The head is large, dull orange or brownish in colour, 

 the neck constricted, the skin thickly warted and hairy ; the colour 

 greyish with a tinge of green, the latter tint more marked on the 

 thoracic segments. A dark subcutaneous medio-dorsal line, not 

 conspicuous on the thorax, more strongly marked on the last 

 sub-segment of each abdominal segment, and becoming continuously 

 dark from the 6th abdominal to the anal segment, ending posteriorly 

 between the two bristly anal points, which are well separated. A 

 pale tumid flange separates the lateral and ventral areas, the flange 

 being marked with hairy serrations, which mark the segmental and 

 sub-segmental incisions, the latter somewhat obscurely. Midway 

 between the medio-dorsal line and lateral flange is a pale subcutaneous, 

 sub-dorsal line, whilst between this and the lateral flange are the
