is pale oclireoiis instead of beincj red. The hind-wiugs are entirely 

 grey. In other respects the form closely resembles ab. nuhroseata. 

 The ocelli are distinct on both sets of wings. The second line, con- 

 sisting of very distinct black dots, is continued through both wings, 

 and is followed by a distinct whitish band. The cilia are pale grey 

 preceded by a well-marked dark grey line. This form is very distinct 

 from ab. siihyoseata, and I would suggest as a name for it ab. suboch- 

 reata. Unfortmiately, as it has turned out, I fed up the larvse of the 

 two batches together and so am in ignorance of the male parentage 

 of the new form, as to whether it was a bred siibroseata, or the worn 

 wild male. The latter was of the suhroseata type, but the colour of 

 the central part was so faded as to be unrecognisable, and it mmj have 

 been pale ochreous. It was taken in North Staifordshire to which 

 district I believe the form suhroseata is confined. Last June I paired 

 two of the ochreoiis form and now have pupae whose emergence is due 

 next month. 



The type specimen of the new form I have given to Prof. Poulton, 

 and it is now in the Collection in the Hope Department, Oxford 

 University Museum of British Lepido'jptera.
