nOARMID.-E—CLEORA. 169 



other hand, in some unblackeued specimens which have just 

 reached me, captured by Mr. A. Elliott in the South of 

 Scothand, the transverse lines are very strongly developed, 

 and almost complete. 



On the wing in July and August. 



Larva moderately slender and of about uniform substance 

 throughout ; the head a very little less than the second 

 segment and rather flattened in front ; segments very well 

 defined ; legs developed in graduation, the shortest in front, 

 and the third pair the longest ; prolegs well developed. 

 Colour of the head pale greenish- white in front, light 

 glaucous green, reticulated with white, at the sides ; near 

 the crown on each lobe is a black streak undulating down 

 to the antennal papillus and bounding the whiter face 

 from the greener side of the head ; above the mouth is a 

 triangular mark of blackish-brovvu atoms ; ground colour of 

 the body generally pale blue-green, but on the back is a 

 more lively green tinge, though so pale as to be greenish- 

 white ; dorsal line distinguishable by its blue tint ; on each 

 side of it in front of each body segment is a small similar 

 streak, but the chief dorsal feature is the row of black spots, 

 one rather oblong spot on the whitest portion of each thoracic 

 segment, on the rest an oblong spot just at the beginning, 

 and another, tliicker, shaped like a blunt spear-head, from 

 about midway toward the end of each segment ; also a small 

 spot upon the anal tip ; subdorsal line a row of black dashes 

 — short on the middle of the thoracic segments, on the rest 

 situated further back — these vary, in some individuals being 

 simple oblong dashes, in others open at one end, again in 

 others at both ends, suggestive of parallel streaks run 

 together in the middle, but in all, each of these dashes is 

 bounded below by a greenish-white dash of the same length, 

 followed by a group of two or three small angular black 

 spots or streaks, and among them the spiracle, blackish, with 

 a faintly flesh-coloured centre; spiracular stripe inflated,
