the ocellus is suffused with bright metallic blue-violet ; under 
side of hind wings suffused with yellow scales along the veins 
below the discal cell in the same manner as can be seen in 
many aberrations of wrtice. 
Spilosoma menthastri, ab. 
Tats unique aberration of Spilosoma menthastri was taken by 
Mr. Brown (one of the gamekeepers of my brother-in-law, Frank 
Percy, Esq.) on Ranworth Broad, Burlingham Hall, Norwich, on 
June 21st, 1909, and sent to me. 
Jos. F. Green. 
West Lodge, Blackheath. 
[In the figure of this remarkable specimen it will be noted 
that, although typical on the right side, aberration in the 
direction of ab. walkeri, Curtis, is strongly exhibited on the left 
fore wing.—R. §.! 
Zygana trifolii, ab. 
Tue above exceedingly curious insect was reared during the 
past summer by Mr. Sydney Thorne, of Bournemouth. As 
regards the right side it is a typical Zygena trifolii, but on the 
left side all the markings are confluent, and thus forms the 
elongate blotch-like mark characteristic of the uncommon ab. 
minoides, Selys.
