fringes, which are slightly but distinctly waved ; hind-wings brownish-grey, with the base 

 lighter. Expands about if inches. Inhabits Central and Southern Europe and Western Asia 

 from April to June. The larva is greyish-green, with dark green connected markings, and a 

 yellow stripe on the sides. It feeds on wild chamomile from June to August. {C. Indcricnsis, 

 Herr.-Schafif., from South Russia, is apparently a smaller and paler variety. C. Rimula, 

 Freyer, from Sarepta, has ashy-grey fore-wings, with whitish radiating lines, black dots on 

 the disc and hind margin, and the stigmata indistinct ; hind-wings white, with the hind 

 margin narrowly grey. C. Achilkm, Guen., from Andalusia, has greyish-white fore-wings, with 

 no transverse lines on stigmata ; slightly tinged with ochreous in the cell and towards the 

 hinder angle ; a long black basal streak extending to the hind margin, and four black rays 

 towards the hind margin ; hind-wings white, slightly clouded with blackish in the female, 

 and with some marginal black dots.) 



14. C. AntJiemidis (Guifn.). — Fore-wings pale ashy in the male and greyish in the female, the 

 base and the inside of the discoidal cell tinged with pale reddish ; the stigmata scarcely indicated 

 by a few black dots. The inner line is distinct and strongly dentated, and crossed by a long 

 and slender black basal streak ; the lower part of the elbowed line is also visible, and double, 

 forming two teeth, from the second of which runs a slender black streak to the hind margin, and 

 there are also some black streaks towards the tip. Hind-wings dark grey, with the base silvery- 

 white, with darker nervures. Expands about \\ inches. The moth is found flying over flowers at 

 dusk in July and August, at Bordeaux. 



15. C. Tanaceti (VV. V.). — Fore-wings narrow, pale grey, with sharply-defined black longi- 

 tudinal lines running from the base and beyond the middle, and sometimes with similar short rays 

 between them, and in cell 4, but no other distinct markings ; hind-wings white, with the costa 

 narrowly bordered with light brown. Expands about if inches. Inhabits Southern and Central 

 Europe, except the north-west, in June. The larva is pale pearly grey, with yellow stripes on

 hinder angle, and slight black streaks before the hind margin towards the tips ; the orbicular and 

 reniform stigmata finely surrounded with black, and the hind-wings white. Expands if inches. 

 Inhabits South Switzerland, South Russia, and perhaps South France, in June. The larva is 

 white, with dirty green angles on the back, open above, and faint red spots adjoining, and with a 

 dirty green stripe on the sides. It feeds on chamomile in July. {C. PrcBcana, Eversm., from the 

 Ural and the shores of the Baltic, has pale grey fore-wings, clouded with whitish, with black dots 

 on the disc and hind margins, and black longitudinal lines towards the hind margin ; hind-wings 

 brownish, with the hind margin darker, and white fringes. C. Cineracea, Freyer, from the Ural, 

 has ashy-grey fore-wings, with grey radiating lines and marginal spots, the orbicular and reniform 

 stigmata well marked and nearly square ; hind-wings pale, with the hind margin grey, and the

 ashy, washed with blackish, with two indistinct stigmata, slightly washed with pale reddish, and 

 with a double blackish centre. Transverse lines indistinct, the angles of the inner line rounded off; 

 hind margins with small black dashes ; the subterminal line replaced by faint longitudinal shaded 

 dashes. Hind-wings as in Artemisice, but less reddish, with the fringes divided by an inter- 

 rupted blackish line. Expands about \\ inches. Inhabits South France, South-Eastern Europe, 

 and the Altai in June. The larva is green, with longitudinal pink lines ; but its food is unknown.
