Length 5 lin. ; exp. 9 lin. 



Hab. Very frequent on marshes round London, in 

 Wales, the North of England, and Scotland. 



L. subcentralis, Hagen ; Brauer. Extremely similar to 

 the preceding in size, form and coloration, but in the 

 anterior wings the oblique white band is broken into 

 steps, and usually united with the round spot about 

 the anastomosis (which here possesses a brown pupil). 

 App. anal, different (Brauer, N. A. fig. 90). Hab. 

 Germany. 

 The cases of the larvae of both (?) species consist of vege- 

 table fragments, which are fixed upon them in a longitudinal 

 position.

Ochreous ; the anterior wings greyish yellow, in the 

 middle with a broad, oval, fenestrated spot placer! 

 obliquely, and on each side a triangular, dark brown 

 dash; a roundish pale yellow spot, externally bor- 

 dered with brown about the anastomosis; the pos- 

 terior and outer margin of the wing darker; a 

 pterostigma is not marked ; posterior wings hyaline, 

 with a yellow apex. The coloration of the wings 

 varies (as also in the preceding species) according as 

 the brown colour is more or less developed. App. 

 anal., Brauer, N. A. figs. 91, 92. 



Length 7 lin. ; exp. 15 lin. 



Hab. England and Scotland, in the middle of summer.
