Wings above brownisli-l)lack_, obscurely spotted with black : anterior with a bent 

 interrupted central white band, intersected with black veins ; a cinereous dis- 

 coidal crescent between it and the base, and three or four small white dots, 

 two of which are at the anterior margin near the tip, one near the middle at 

 the posterior margin, a fourth in the interruption of the central fascia; 

 parallel with the posterior margin is a series of obscure black spots: the 

 posterior wings are very similar, with an oblique straight central white band 

 intersected with black veins, and terminating acutely near the anal angle, 

 which bears an obscure reddish spot, in which are two black dots: between 

 the fascia and the margin is a double parallel series of obscure black spots : 

 beneath, the anterior wings are brown, clouded with fulvous ; the central 

 areolet marked with zigzag black lines, and a white spot : across the disc is 

 a band, resembling in form that on the upper surface ; and there are also 

 white spots corresponding with those on the upper side, with a few additional 



the Systema Nature. Stewart, in the place above quoted, gives it as British, 

 and states that it is found in July, and is not common.

Very similar to Li. Camilla : wings above deep fuscous, the anterior with five 

 large and four small white spots : one of the former nearly central, the 

 remaining four, with two of the lesser, forming an interrupted bent fascia 

 across the wing : the other two spots are on the costa near the apex : a bluish 

 spot near the base, and a series of spots of the same colour, each with an 

 adjoining interior black one parallel with the hinder margin : the posterior 

 wings have an oblique central white fascia, intersected with black veins, and 

 a series of blue and black spots parallel with the hinder margin ,• beneath, the 

 anterior wings are bright orange-tawny anteriorly, fuscous posteriorly, spotted 

 with white as above, with a row of black spots parallel with the hinder 

 margin : the posterior wings have the basal half white, tinged with bluish- 

 green at the base and inner edge, with a fvdvous-orange streak reaching from 

 the anterior margin to the centre of the wing ; the hinder portion of the wing 

 is fuscous, with two rows of large orange-tawny spots, having a series of 

 distinct black spots between them. — Caterpillar yellowish-green, with white 

 hairs and red spines ; a red head with two white stripes, and a lateral white 

 stripe on the body : feeds on honeysuckles. Chrysalis green, spotted on the 

 head and breast with silver. 



Said by Stewart to be a native of Britain, no doubt by mistake, owing to the 

 unaccountable confusion into which Fabricius has thrown the nomenclature 

 of this and the preceding species, the two insects being so obviously discri- 

 minated by Linnaeus, though his synonyma are incorrect.
