3 I 2 EUKOFEAA' BUTTEKFLIES AXD MoTUS. 



Abuiulaiit in the greater part of Europe and Siberia. The larva is green, with ru.st}'-bro\vn 

 spots on the back, bordered with white. 



*2. C. Exajitluinata (Scop.). — Wings white, thickly speckled with brown, the lines rusty- 

 broun and suffused, rarely with a black dot in the middle (variety Pdlagraria, Guen.) ; 

 face brown. Common in Europe, and Western and Northern Asia. The larva is green 

 or brown, with yellowish incisions, small yellowish spots on the back dotted with white, and a 

 yellow stripe on the sides. The moth is figured at PI. 46, Fig. I. 



GENUS XXXI.— BAPTA (STEPH.). 



Wings white, not speckled with darker ; the fore-wings less pointed at the tips, and with 

 the hinder angle more distinct than in Cabera. The larva; are smooth and cylindrical, with 

 flat heads, and feed on trees from June to September, and the moths appear in May and 

 June. They expand from i to \\ inches. 



*i. B. Temerata (W. V.). — Wings white, with black marginal lunules and central dots; 

 the marginal area dusted with brown, and divided by a broad stripe in the middle, which 

 is not dusted. Inhabits Central Europe and Northern Asia. The larva is green, with a 

 reddish-brown stripe on the back, often broken into spots. It feeds on birch, willow, &c. 



*2. B. Bimaciilata (Fabr.), Tainiiiata (W. V.). — Wings white, with a single dark marginal 

 line, and fine black central spots ; fore-wings with two dark brown spots on the costa ; 

 from the second runs an indistinct finely dentated brown line across all the wings. The 

 larva is supposed to feed on sallow. The moth is figured at PI. 45, Fig. 2. 



GENU.S XXXII. — ALEUCIS (OUflN.). 



Fore-wings broader and more pointed than in Bapta, and darker than the hind-wings. 

 The only species, *A. Pictaria (Curt.), has the fore -wings dusted with brownish-grey, with a 

 dark spot in the middle, and two suffused dark transverse lines, the second zigzag, bordered 

 with whitish, and indistinctly continued on the hind-wings ; the hind margin is dotted with 

 black, and the hind-wings are pale grey. Expands about i inch. A rather scarce and local 

 insect, found resting on palings, or at sallow or sloe-blossoms at dusk, in March and April, 

 chiefly in Western Europe. The larva is greenish-grey, with dark longitudinal lines and 

 round spots. It feeds on oak and sloe in June. 



GENUS XXXIII.— ORTHOSTIXIS (HUBN.). 



The only European species, O. Cribraria (Hiibn.), from South-Eastern Europe and Western 

 Asia, has the wings entire ; fore-wings rather pointed, and the hind margin curved and 

 slightly oblique ; white, with a central black dot, beyond which are two rows of black 

 dots, and a third on the hind margin ; hind-wings similar, but without the first row of dots. 



GENUS XXXIV. — TERPNOMICTA (LED.). 



Small moths ; wings yellow, speckled with brown, with brown transverse lines and 

 a brown marginal line ; fore-wings moderately broad, the costa slightly curved, and the 

 hind margin rather oblique ; hind-wings short, with the costa and inner margin of equal 

 length. The antennai of the male are pectinated in the first two species, and strongly 

 ciliated in the others.
