126 CATALOGUE OF DITTENAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



It is uncertain whether this is distinct from Mcera or no ; it seems 

 to be common all over Switzerland ; and though a good many spe- 

 cimens have been taken, it does not seem to vary. It is, however, 

 very like the true Mcera, from which it differs in its more robust 

 form, darker colouring both above and below ; in the form of the 

 front-wing ocelh, in having only two distinct ocelli on the upperside 

 of the hind wing, and in the less irregular central lines on the un- 

 derside of the hind wings.
