BRAHM/EA. 71 



Next comes a series of broad yellowish-brown festooned lines, 

 frequently whitish on their inner side, and rather indistinctly 

 separated by blackish lines ; the sub-terminal black line is 

 sharply zig-zag, and the marginal area is grey, shading into 

 yellow on the fringes. The ends of the teeth of the sub- 

 terminal line are connected by another black line, slightly 

 curved outwards between each two ; the largest space thus 

 enclosed is that nearest the costa, and is black, bordered 

 internally with yellowish and grey ; the two next spaces are 

 tawny and grey, and the four nervurcs nearest the costa are 

 marked with several white dots on the inner side of the sub- 

 terminal line, and with a large one just beyond. On the hind- 

 wings the basal half is smoky brown, greyish towards the 

 base, and blackish outwardly ; the marginal half of the wing 

 is occupied by a zig-zag series of black lines, separating spaces 

 which are whitish basally and yellowish outwardly ; the two 

 black lines nearest the margin are the broadest, and towards 

 the m.argin the hind-wings shade into yellowish-brown. The 

 body is varied with smoky black and grey, the antennae are 

 tawny, and the black pro-thorax is narrowly bordered with 

 yellowish in front, and in the middle behind. 



The larva, which is found on Phillyrea latifolia (Linn.), in 

 May in the Taurus Mountains of Cilicia (Asia Minor), is not 

 unlike that of Chccrocanipa elpowr. It is pitchy-brown, with 

 the thoracic shield shining black. The first three segments 

 have an ochre-yellow dorsal line, and are yellow on the sides ; 

 the yellow colour continues as a lateral interrupted band to 

 the extremity of the body, and below it is an oval ochreous- 

 yellow spot on each segment ; the spiracles arc also yellowish, 

 bordered with black. The second and third segments are 

 rather inflated, and on each side of the dorsal line stands a 

 smooth oval yellowish wart on these segments, preceded by 

 a double yellow crescent, divided by the dorsal line. These
