LARENTW.-E—PHIBALAPTER YX. 347 



Herefordshire, and about Malvern, Worcestershire. In 

 Wales it is recorded in Glamorganshire by Mr. H. W. 

 Vivian. This appears to be the extent of its natural range 

 in these Islands. The clematis is so often cultivated in 

 gardens and along verandahs elsewhere, as an ornament, 

 that this and the last species might almost be expected to 

 have a wider artificial range ; but this does not appear to be the 

 case, except that there is a record of the capture of a single 

 specimen of P. tcrsata in a garden at Howth, near Dublin ! 

 Abroad it inhabits many parts of Central and Southern 

 Europe, with Corsica, also Bithynia, Tartary, the moun- 

 tainous regions of Central Asia, Central China, and Japan. 



G. P. lapidata, Huh. — Expanse 1 to l\ inch. Fore

 shading paler to the top of the head ; neck-ridge and thorax 

 dull umbreous ; abdomen rather short, pale brown ; lateral 

 tufts very distinct ; anal tuft short. Fore wings elongated ;

 hind margin below it shortly hollowed, then gently curved, 

 and in the middle somewhat elbowed ; dorsal margin much 

 rounded ; colour glossy pale umbreous, rather darker along 

 the costa and hind margin; basal line slender, brown,

 ceded by two much fainter similar threads ; second line 

 oblitjue, sinuous, distinct yet slender, black-brown, followed 

 at some little distance by two more, very similar but fainter, 

 almost parallel lines ; the space between the first and second
