similar stripf. much iiuire imperfect and limken ; cilia nearly 

 white. l''cinah' very siinihir. 



Inderside lirownish-white ; its inarkintrs a repi-tition of 

 tliose of tlie upp.^r side, except that those of the fore wind's 

 are hardly so definite, the base of the costa is more clouded 

 with blackish diistinor, and the central line is a little more 

 visible. I3ody and leg's whitish-brown : the hinder i)air of 

 the latter, in the male, short, the tarsi especially so, and 

 clothed with thin masses of lonsr slender scales. 



Ou the wing in .May and -lune, and as a partial second 

 generation, at the end of July and in August, but ^Ir. A. H. 

 Jones records that if fed up in moderate warmth the second 

 generation becomes complete, every moth emerging in August 

 or September. 



lj.\iiV.\ nearly cylindrical, but the spiracidar region jiiitrcd 

 out so as to give the ajipearance of being rather flattened; 

 greatest breadth at the ninth segment, tapering regularly to 

 the head ; very rugose, and with the segmental divisions 

 dee|)ly cut ; colour dingy deep Ijrown ; dorsal lino very faint, 

 jialer. chielly visible before and behind each segmental 

 ilivision, and there set off by a border of thick black streaks ; 

 from these, two l)lackish streaks diverge obli<|uely towards 

 the subdorsal region, forming a sort of y^-mark, pointing for- 

 wards, on the anterior portion of each segment, the middle 

 part being sufFu.sed with dark brown ; this does not extend 

 beyond the tenth segment ; subdorsal line also i)lackish, 

 interru))ted twice on each segment; on the tenth segment 

 there is a central, somewhat star-shap(»d. whitish s])ot, and 

 the remaining hinder segments are lirown. without any 

 definite markings; spiraculai' ridg(> dirty pale ocln-eous, 

 interrupted at the segmental divisions, ventral surface dark 

 brown, strongly contrasting with the spiracidar strijie : head 

 shining brown. This larva may be distinguished from those 

 of its congeners by its having from each of its raised dots a 

 rather long, dirty ochreous bristle, curved forward on all the
