on the back, and black spots on the sides ; it feeds in June and August. The moth is 

 figured at PI. 39, Fig. 2. 



GENUS V. — CLEOPHANA (BOISD.). 



Fore-wings pointed at the tips, with double but indistinct transverse Hnes ; the subterminal 

 line absent, and the reniform stigma indistinct ; hind-wings small. The larvae undergo their 

 transformations in a strong cocoon, and the moths, which fly by day, are all inhabitants of 

 Southern Europe. 



1. C. Antirrkiiii (Hiibn.). — Fore-wings pale ashy, varied with greyish-brown, and the costa 

 slightly reddish, the two stigmata small, with dark centres, and bordered with pale, the 

 transverse lines indistinct and double, black and white streaks in the marginal area, and 

 the fringes spotted with white ; hind-wings whitish, with a broad brown marginal band. 

 Expands from i to i| inches. Inhabits South Europe, parts of Austria, and Western Asia 

 in June. The larva is green, with black spots and white longitudinal lines. It feeds on 

 toadflax and Scabiosa ochrolcuca in June. 



2. C. Serrata (Tr.). — Fore-wings varied with silvery-white and brown, the central area 

 darker, edged by the white transverse lines, which are bordered with blackish within and 

 brown outside ; the hind margin white, intersected with long brown dashes ; hind-wings 

 yellowish-brown, with a broad dark brown border ; fringes white. It inhabits Sicily and Andalusia. 

 Larva reddish-brown, with narrow black undulating subdorsal and lateral lines. 



3. C. Olivina (Herr.-Schiiff.). — Fore-wings olive-green, nervures blackish, fringes spotted 

 with brown and white, a white longitudinal streak in the middle of the wings, and paler 

 dashes towards the costa, and in nervures I, 2, and 5 ; hind-wings dark grey. Inhabits 

 Piedmont and Turkey. 



4. C. Anarrliini (Dup.). — Fore-wings straw-colour at the base and hind margin, intersected 

 with brown rays ; the transverse lines black, bordered with yellow, and much dentated ; the 

 central area reddish-brown, the colour extending beyond the lines, and a row of black 

 radiating lines running from the elbowed line towards the hind margin ; hind-wings blackish, 

 lighter at the base, with the fringes pale yellow. Expands about i inch. A rather scarce 

 species, inhabiting South France in May. 



5. C. Dcjeanii (Dup.). — Fore-wings ashy-grey, with the transverse lines slender, black, 

 bordered with white, and connected in the middle by a black streak ; the inner line strongly 

 angulated towards the base, the elbowed line forming two teeth below the discoidal cell, 

 and arched above, and the space outside the central area bordered with dark brown. The 

 reniform stigma brown and triangular, bordered with white, and touching the elbowed line ; 

 the orbicular stigma wanting. The marginal area is intersected with black rays, surrounded 

 with white. Hind-wings dark grey, paler at the base ; fringes white, intersected with grey. 

 Size of Anarrhini. Inhabits South Europe in May. The larva is pale yellow, with red 

 subdorsal lines spotted with white, and red spiracles. {C. Batica, Ramb., from South- Western 

 Europe, has grey fore-wings, varied with brown, the transverse lines white, and sharply 

 bordered on both sides with black.) 



6. C. Yvanii (Dup.). — Fore-wings ashy, varied with reddish-brown, especially in the central 

 and marginal areas. The transverse lines are black and slender, and the inner line forms several 

 angles, that in the middle projecting so as to touch an angle formed by the elbowed line, and thus 

 dividing the central area into two portions, of which the uppermost is the largest. The reniform 

 stigma is represented by a small white spot on a dark ground, and the orbicular stigma is absent,
