376 European Butterflies and Moths. 



and with pale grey double bands and subterniinal line ; hind-wings pure white, with a dark 

 grey border. Expands from i^ to \\ inches. Inhabits the Alps, Finland, and the Altai in June 

 and July. 



*40. L. Taniata (Steph.). — Fore-wings blackish at the base and in the central area, and with 

 a broad rust-coloured band between, narrowly bordered with white ; the central area with tolerably 

 uniform projections behind, and the marginal area reddish-brown towards the costa ; hind-wings 

 pale grey. Expands from f to i inch. Inhabits Northern and Central Europe in July, chiefly 

 in the mountains. 



G. — As in section E, but the marginal line is interrupted with lighter only on the nervures, and 

 forms small distinct dots ; nerinde 5 of the hind-wings rises from the front half of the discocellular 

 ncrvjdc, except in Bcrberata, in which it rises from the hinder half. 



*4i. L. Miinitata (Hiibn.). — Fore-wings ashy-grey, with the tip divided with dusky, the base 

 and central area reddish-grey, and bordered with black lines ; the central area narrower towards 

 the inner margin, and making a round projection in the middle ; two blackish spots on the costa 

 near the tip, and the subterniinal line suffused ; hind-wings grey, and the antennas of the male 

 pectinated. Expands about i inch. Inhabits Northern and Alpine Europe in June and July. 

 The larva is dull green or brown, speckled with black, and blotched with pink on the 6th and 

 7th segments. It feeds on groundsel. 



*42. L. Dcsignata (Hufn.), Propugnata (W. V.). — Fore -wings ashy-grey, indistinctly waved 

 with darker, the tip not divided, the base and central area reddish-grey, and bordered with 

 whitish lines ; the central area projects below the costa and in the middle, and its inner side, as 

 well as the outer side from the costa to the middle, forms a dark brown band ; hind-wings pale 

 grey. Expands about i inch. Common in Europe and Siberia in May and June. The larva is 

 reddish-grey, with triangular orange spots on the back, and a pale yellowish-grey line on the 

 sides. It feeds on cabbage in September. (Z. Abrasaria, Hcrr.-Schafif., from Lapland, has the 

 wings rounded ; pale grey, slightly tinged with yellowish-brown, with dark grey waved lines 

 forming bands ; the last forms the border, and is traversed by the light denticulated subterminal 

 line on all the wings. The central area of the fore-wings is bounded by two stripes formed of 

 double lines, and the intermediate space is of the ground-colour, and without markings, except 

 the very small central dot. The elbowed line is simply waved, with no angles or prominent 

 curves. Palpi longer than the head. It agrees with Biriviata in form, and with Mollnginata 

 in colour.) 



43. L. Biriviata (Borkh.). — Fore-wings with the base rust-colour, the central area with an 

 angular projection in the middle, banded with brown on the sides, and edged in front by a 

 white line, and behind by a broad white unevenly divided band ; the marginal area is varied 

 with brown and grey, and the subterminal line is filled up with dark brown in cells 4 and 5, and 

 below the costa ; hind-wings waved with grey and whitish. Expands about i inch. Common 

 in Europe and the Altai from April to July. The larva is green or brown, with a whitish 

 stripe on the sides, and triangular black spots on the back. It feeds on Ivipatiens noli-me- 

 tangere in August. 



*44. L. Berberata (W. V.). — Fore-wings pale reddish-grey, with two dark brown transverse 

 bands near the base and in the front of the central area, and the commencement of another band 

 at the end of the central area below the costa, which forms sharp projecting angles behind, and 

 is continued in an irregular line to the inner margin ; tip divided with black ; hind-wings grey, 

 with indistinct darker lines. Expands about i^ inches. Inhabits Europe and Northern and 

 Western Asia in May and August. Larva rather thick, yellowish-brown or grey, with dark spots
