I02 LEPIDOPTERA. 



colour, rather erect, but forming a small outward angle above 

 the middle, and beneath this slightly concave to the dorsal 

 margin ; the space between these lines forms a broad band 

 tinged with deeper yellow-brown ; beyond it, half way to 

 the hind margin, is a narrower similar cloudy band indicating 

 at its edge a subterminal line ; often one or two similar 

 cloudy patches lie close to the hind margin, which is edged 

 by a brown line ; cilia white chequered with smoky-brown. 

 Hind wings rather long, hind margins sinuous, with two 

 rather deejjer hollows separated by a projecting ])oint close to 

 the a])ex ; whitish- brown, shaded almost all over with yellow-

 line more brown ; cilia white, clouded with yellow-brown and 

 smoky-brown. Autennee of the female simple, body very 

 little stouter ; extremely similar. 



Underside very much like the upper ; all the wings pale 

 yellow-brown with white shading, the lines dark brown, 

 enclosing on the fore wings a dark yellow-brown central 

 band. Body and legs of the same colour. 



Not variable, except in a very small degree in the depth of 

 colour.

 of a second genei^ation in August ; and I find that such an 

 occurrence has been noticed at large in the woods of 

 Hamjjshire. 



Larva twig-like, tapering forwards from the sixth segment, 

 and very slightly behind ; lateral sjjots on the sixth to the 

 eleventh segments enlarged, esjjecially so on the sixth ; two 

 minute dorsal ])oints are upon the twelfth ; head small, 

 rounded, flattened in front, black, dotted with white, and 

 having a white sjjot on the to}) of each lobe ; body variable 

 in markings, colour, and intensity of colour. Dull ])ur])lish- 

 grey or olive- brown; from the fourth to the tenth segments 

 is a series of i)ale grey dorsal diamonds in which the ordinary
