of its hind wings. The male measures from 15 mm. to 

 16 mm. in expanse. Fore wings rich greyish brown, reti- 

 culated with darker brown, with a broad deep red-brown 

 fascia from the middle of the costa, where it is narrowest, to 

 the inner margin, where it broadens out, extends to the anal 

 angle, and unites with an irregular triangular patch of the 

 same colour that occupies the apical and hind marginal 

 areas. Hind wings bright orange bordered with black, 

 usually with a few black scales scattered along the veins ; 

 but in one of the specimens reared, they are so dense as to 

 almost obscure the orange colour of the wing. Cilia orange. 



" The female is a larger and more sombre insect. It 

 measures 18 mm. to 22 mm. in expanse, is slightly paler in 

 colour than the male, and the reticulations more clearly 

 defined. The brown fascia is of a duller and less reddish 

 tone, and its central portion is often indicated only in out- 

 line, as is also the triangular patch of the apical region. The 

 body in both sexes is ringed with yellow. 



" The imago emerges during Sej)tember and October, and 

 its time of flight appears to be in the morning sunshine 

 between eight and ten o'clock." — (R. Adkin, Entom. xxxix. 

 265). 



This species was added to the British List by Mr. W. H. 

 Fletcher, who captured a fine fresh specimen in his garden 

 at Bognor, on October 23, 1905. Another example was 

 taken at Eastbourne by Mr. H, Cooper in the autumn of the 

 same year. In September 1906, Mr. Robert Adkin found 

 some larvEe and pup^e spun up in the terminal leaves of 

 euonymus at Eastbourne, and from these imagines were 

 obtained during the latter part of September and in October. 



According to Rebel (" Catalog der Lep. Pal. Faun." ii. 

 p. 89), who places the species between T. viridana, Z. and 

 T. forstemna, F., it would seem to be essentially a southern 

 insect, occurring only in North-west Africa, Asia Minor, and 

 Southern Europe. It has, however, been recorded as abun-
