 of an inch. Inliabits Austria. The larva is slender, pale yreyish-green, with blackish lines on 

 the back and sides ; head pale red. 



37. E. Graphata (Tr.). — Allied to Maj'cri, fore-wings paler, greyish-\\liitc, with a small dark 

 central spot, the ncrvures not suffused with yellowish, the double stripes with both halves 

 whitish, and equally divided by distinct dark lines, the last very strongly dentated, and very 

 obtusely angulated below the costa, the space between the second and third rather darker ; the 

 subterminal line thicker, whitish, zigzag, and filled up with darker in front in cells ib, 4, and 5 ; 

 the hind-wings whitish, waved with grey. E.xpands nearly i inch. Inhabits Austria and 

 Hungary. 



38. E. Scriptaria (Hiibn.). — Fore-wings narrow and pointed, dark grey, with a small dark central 

 dot, and three whitish double bands distinctly divided, the last zigzag, with stronger angles above 

 the inner margin, and obtusely angulated below the costa, the subterminal line sharply whitish and 

 uniformly zigzag ; hind-wings grey, with a whitish double band and subterminal line. Size of 

 Mayeri. Inhabits the Alps in July. {E. Riparia, Herr.-Schaff., from Dalmatia and Spain, is a 

 small greyish-white species ; the fore-wings with five pale grey parallel and slightly dentated 

 lines, and a narrow pale grey marginal line ; hind-wings with two lines, and a central dot. E. 

 Spissilincata, Mctzn., is yellowish-grey, covered with white stripes interrupted by the nervures, 

 and with the fringes spotted with grey and white. E. Alultilincata, Mann, which is probably 

 a variety of this, is a little larger (expands fully three-quarters of an inch), and entirely 

 yellowish. Both forms are met with in South-Eastern Europe and Western Asia in April and 

 May.)

 white spot at the anal angle. Expands from one-half to three-quarters of an inch. Inhabits 

 Northern and North-Western Europe in June. The larva is short and thick, tapering towards 

 the head, and rather densely hairy ; finely and transversely reticulated with pale ochre-yellow on 

 the back ; more rarely green, with a dirty brown line, widened into spots on each segment, on 

 the back, and a narrower one on the sides. It feeds in the seed-capsules of Ccrastiuin triviale 

 in marshy places. 



40. E. Ultiniaria (Boisd.). — Wings narrow and obtuse, ashy-grey, darker towards the hind 

 margin, and traversed by several waved rays, lighter than the ground-colour, and finely bor- 

 dered with blackish. The central dots, and the pale band beyond the second line, are equally 

 distinct on all the wings. The fringes are grey, chequered with darker. Under side shining 

 white, with the central dots and lines of the upper side well marked. Expands about half an 

 inch. It inhabits South France, Italy, and Bithynia ; and the larva, which is long, light green, 

 and spotted with white and carmine, feeds on Tatnarix gallica. 



41. E. JMassiliata (Mill.). — Wings rounded, fore-wings dark grey, with many fine brown 

 lines ; the elbowed line is double, with two teetli pointing inwards above the inner margin, and 

 the subterminal line light and denticulated. The central black dot is oval and well marked.
