J34 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Ixand broad but indented close to the costa, very broad on 

 tlie dorsal margin, golden brown, mottled with blue and 

 black ; hind marginal area and apex filled up with small 

 black and brown clouds in rows; cilia yellow, barred 

 with black. Hind wings and their cilia smoky black. 

 Female similar. 



Underside of the fore wings smoky black dappled and 

 dotted, especially on the costa with yellow. Hind wings 

 smoky black, dappled towards the apex with yellowish

Larva apparently undescribed. Herrich-Schaffer says 

 that it feeds on Pninus imdiis, first on the leaves, then on 

 the twigs i other collectors abroad say on elm and poplar, 

 burrowing in the autumn into the bark of trees. 



This species has long been known as British, occurring 

 rarely in the fen district of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdon- 

 shire, where several specimens have been taken, more 

 especially by the late Mr. F. Bond. About the year 1880 it 

 was re-discovered by the Rev. G. H. Raynor, in Cambridge- 

 shire, sitting upon the trunks of elms {Uimus subcrosa) and 

 poplars, from which trees its empty pupa-skins could be seen 

 projecting. In this district it continued to be found, in the 

 same manner, for several years, but I know of no very 

 recent records. Except of a single specimen taken in 

 Suffolk, I have no knowledge of its presence in the British 

 Isles beyond those two counties of England. Abroad it is 

 widely distributed in Central and iSouthern Europe, and also 

 found in Bithynia.
