108 LEPTDOPTERA. 



and Mr. Machin, who met with it on the summit of Box 

 Hill, amongst the JEpilobium angustifolium, which grows in 

 the wood there. 



The larva is black, and spins together the terminal leaves 

 of the EpUobium, much as Halias Clorana does the terminal 

 leaves of willows. (See the observations of Mr. Machin and 

 Mr. Standish, in " Intelligencer," pp. 132, 142). 



Mr. Hodgkinson finds he has a specimen of this insect, 

 which he took two or three years ago near Preston. 



Laverna Raschkiella, Tischer. 

 (Fig. 3.) 

 Alis anticis fuscis, viola ceo-snffusis, macidis duabus {una 

 basalt dorsum versis, altera disci) flavis, macula alb'ida 

 costali ante apicem. 



Exp. al. 4—5 lin. 



Head whitish, at the back dark grey. Face whitish. 

 Palpi grey. Antennas black, with a few pale annulations 

 towards the tip. Anterior wings black, more or less blotched 

 with orange ; the orange generally assumes the form of two 

 spots— one near the base, towards the inner margin, the other 

 on the disc beyond the middle ; nearly in the middle of the 

 wing may be distinguished in certain lights three violet spots ; 

 and the hind margin is tinged with violet. Beyond the 

 middle is a small whitish spot on the costa running into the 

 second orange blotch. Cilia blackish. Posterior wings 

 dark grey, with dark grey cilia. 



Not nearly allied to any known species. 



This species has also resulted from the explorations of Mr. 

 Standish aud Mr. Machin on the summit of Box Hill ; they 

 having met with it there on the 22nd of June (Intelligencer, 

 pp. 101, 115). Towards the end of July they discovered 

 the larva mining the leaves of EpUobium angustifolium, 

 and in August the second brood of the perfect insect.
