86 LEPIDOPTERA. 



I believe also in Devonshire ; and there is not, in my 

 opinion, any doubt that his and all the three specimens 

 previously mentioned were reared from larva? accidentally 

 collected along with those of the other species. G. abrotani 

 is so well known abroad that it is altogether unlikely to 

 have been introduced among A. absynthii. In future a 

 larva on Artemesia having red dorsal tubercles should be 

 regarded with peculiar interest. 



Abroad its range is through Germany, Hungary, Switzer- 

 land, South Sweden, Poland, Central and Southern Kussia, 

 and the mountainous regions of Central Asia. 



8. C. chamomillae, Schiff. — Expanse If to If inch. Fore 

 wings narrow, pointed, smoky-grey or brown-grey, usually 

 clouded with black ; nervures black ; a long slender basal 

 line, and two or three short lines between the middle and 

 hind margin, black. Hind wings dark smoky-brown. 



Antennas of the male long, simple, naked, brown ; palpi 

 short, very broadly tufted, black-brown mixed with drab, apical 

 joint nipple-like ; tongue very large and long ; head densely 

 tufted with scales which are divided across by narrow 

 channels into flat compressed ridges, black-brown tipped with 

 grey ; collar large and conspicuously peaked, pale grey barred 

 in front with a red-brown cross-stripe which throws up a 

 point in the middle, above this obscurely barred with brown ; 

 remainder of thorax grey except that, obscured by the long 

 grey scales of the collar and shoulder-lappets, are narrow 

 black -brown crests ; fascicles dusky-white ; abdomen very 

 long, pale grey, the basal segments covered with dusky-white 

 hair-scales, and having on the dorsal ridge two small crests 

 tipped with brown-black ; lateral tufts obscure ; anal tuft 

 very long and forked. Fore wings narrow ; costa straight or 

 faintly hollowed to beyond the middle, thence flatly arched ; 

 apex angulated ; hind margin very oblique, almost straight, 

 and faintly crenulated ; dorsal margin straight ; colour dark
