SATYRID.E. 225 



those from the north-east of Scotland very large and bright. 

 A gynandrous example was obtained at Ipswich by the late 

 Mr. Edward Hopley in 1868 ; and in the cabinet of the late 

 Mr. F. Bond are some most extraordinary instances of the 

 same nature, not regularly gynandrous — that is, male on one 

 side and female on the other — but with male fore wing on 

 one side and hind wing on the other, the remaining two 

 wings, on opposite sides, being female ; or with one male 

 wing only, the rest being female ; and other vagaries of the 

 same nature. 



On the wing from the middle of July to the beginning of 

 September. 



Larva when full grown H inch long, tapering much to the 

 forked anal extremity, and a little towards the head, which is 

 globular. The general colour of the back is a delicately 

 mottled drab, with longitudinal stripes which are broadest 

 along the middle segments ; a dorsal stripe olive-brown, dark 

 at the beginning of each segment, and narrowly edged with 

 brownish white ; immediately below is a narrow double line 

 of yellowish-brown edged with paler ; below this, at an 

 interval, the sub-dorsal stripe of a dark grey-brown edged 

 above with black and white. Spiracular stripe broader, and 

 of nearly equal width throughout, pale ochreous-brown, edged 

 with brownish-white both above and below ; spiracles black ; 

 under surface and legs drab ; head brown, with the principal 

 stripes of the body delicately marked upon it in darker 

 brown. When very young it is oclireous with a blackish 

 interrupted dorsal line. 



On Triticiim repens, Aira cmspitosa, Aira prcecox, and other 

 grasses (Buckler). August to June. 



Mr. Buckler's history of the larva is very interesting : — 

 " Eggs were hatched early in August, and the young larva? 

 were very sluggish, hiding low down amongst the grass, and 

 hybernating when one-third of an inch in length. Only one 

 survived, and in the spring it remained always on its rigid
