1 66 EcKOPEAN Butterflies and Moths. 



with a pale line on the back, and a black head, and plate behind it. It lives on chickweed, 

 &c., till May. The moth is figured at PI. 33, P'ig. 6. {C. Albina, Eversni., from the Ural, 

 appears to be a variety with yellower fore-wings. C. Fusciconiis, Ramb., from Corsica, has 

 ashy fore-wings, with three indistinct transverse reddish lines ; the reniform stigma is red, 

 dotted with white in the middle, and the hind-wings are white. C. Anccps, Herr.-Schafif., also 

 from Corsica, is brownish-ashy, the fore-wings with a pale waved line interrupted by the 

 nervures, and the hind-wings ashy.) 



4. C. Scliiii (Boisd.). — Fore-wings dark ashy-grey, the transverse lines black, and the elbowed 

 line finely dentated, adjoining a second dark stripe ; the orbicular stigma is small, and the 

 reniform stigma is filled up with darker ; the subterminal line is narrow in front, and bordered 

 with dusky behind as far as the hind margin ; hind-wings white, with grey hind margins. 

 Expands about \\ inches. A rare species, found in the Pyrenees, Valais, Harz Mountains, 

 &c., in July. [C. Noctivaga, Bell, from Southern Europe, resembles Cnbiadaris, but the 

 markings are much less distinct, and the reniform stigma is reduced to some whitish streaks 

 and a small yellow crescent. The hind-wings are darker, and more varied with brown. This 

 species flies from June to August, and may be a variety of Sclini. C. Selinoides, Bell., from 

 Corsica, has longer fore-wings, of a dark violet-brown. The lines are broader and better 

 marked, the stigmata are well marked, the reniform stigma is bordered with white as in 

 Cubicularis, and the central shade is more distinct. Hind-wings shining yellowish-brown, 

 darker in the female. Found in July under bark and among dead leaves ; the pupa is found 

 under stones.) 



5. C. Kadenii (Freyer). — Fore-wings reddish ashy-grey, with indistinct transverse lines, and 

 a rusty-brown spot instead of the orbicular stigma ; the reniform stigma is rusty-brown, with 

 the edges dotted with white ; the subterminal line is edged in front with rusty-brown. Expands 

 \\ inches. It is found from May to August in Southern Europe, and the larva feeds on 

 various low plants in March and April. [C. Pctrcea, Tengstr., from Finland, is smaller and 

 more slender than Cubicularis, and uniform pale greyish-ashy, thickly dusted with black atoms. 

 The fore-wings are rather broad, with rather indistinct lines, and the orbicular stigma is 

 punctiform ; the hind-wings are whitish at the base, with a large and distinct black spot in 

 the middle on the under side.) 



6. C. Terrea (Freyer). — Fore-wings reddish-grey, with the markings indistinct, the stigmata 

 of moderate, size, partly bordered with white, the subterminal line pale, spotted with black on 

 the basal side (except in variety Diibiosa, Staud.); hind-wings white, with the hind margin dusted 

 with brownish. Expands 1} inches. It is found in the mountains of South Europe in July. 



7. C. Gerniainii (Dup.). — Fore-wings dark brown, with the two central lines black and 

 waved ; the subterminal line is formed by a row of small pale yellow dots, with small black 

 triangular spots resting on them. The stigmata are indistinct, the reniform stigma marked 

 with one white and three fulvous spots ; hind margin edged with fulvous dots. Hind-wings 

 shining yellowish-white, with the hind margin greyish-brown. It inhabits South France and 

 Spain in June. 



8. C. Piilinoiiaris (Esp.). — Fore-wings short, rusty-yellow, varied with reddish-brown ; 

 stigmata large, partly bordered with whitish, the reniform stigma filled up with blackish ; and 

 the hind-wings brownish-grey. Expands about i inch. Local in Southern and Central 

 Europe in June and July, but absent in the north-west. Larva dingy green, with a whitish 

 line on the back, and a yellowish-brown head. It lives on Pulmouaria till May. {C. Variabilis, 

 Bell., bred from pupae found under the sand on the coast of Corsica in April, is of the size
