ABERRATION OF EUCHELIA (HIPOCRITA) 

 JACOB MM. 



Mr. Forsythe, of Lancaster, has sent for inspection a most 

 interesting series of E. jacobace that be had obtained in the early 

 part of June last. In all the specimens the ground colour is 

 much greyer than usual, some being especially pale in coloration. 

 In these paler examples the hind wings are pale pink, the sub- 

 costal streak and the two outer marginal spots being still paler 

 pink. 



He also sent the specimen referred to ante, p. 185, and this, 

 as will be seen by the excellent figure drawn by Mr. H. Knight, 

 is a remarkable aberration of this usually constant species. The 

 crimson subcostal streak is continued to subapical spot, and the 

 immediate area below it is thickly powdered with crimson scales, 

 as also are the outer and inner marginal areas. 



The late Mr. W. Fowler once sent, us a somewhat similar 

 specimen of E. jacobcea, but it was without the crimson powder- 

 ing on the marginal areas.
