ted with black. I took this specimen many years since in a little 

 wood at Highgate ; it was examined and named by the late Mr. 

 Ha worth. 



These varieties do not differ in the least in any one essential spe- 

 cific character, either in antennae, palpi, tibiae or tarsi ; their only dif- 

 ference is in the number of the transverse strigae, and the colour of 

 the wings varying from deep fuscous to a rusty yellowish hue. They 

 constitute but a single species. 



** Body slender. 



Caradrina Sepii and Morpheus. The anterior wings of Sepii are 

 usually griseous clouded with fuscous, stigmata composed of fuscous 

 spots, behind the posterior is a dusky fascia ; some specimens are 

 darker, clouded and spotted with deep fuscous or black, these are ge- 

 nerally called Morpheus. I have lately examined two specimens in 

 the British Museum named Morpheus : these have the anterior wings 

 llavescent ash, with the stigmata and posteiior fascia of a deeper hue ; 

 probably age has caused their flavescent appearance, they are only 

 slight varieties of Sepii. 



Caradrina cuhicularis and superstes. The large and dark varieties 

 are generally named in British collections superstes ; * all that I have 

 seen are mere varieties of cubicularis. 



Caradrina glareosa. Of this distinct species I have never seen a 

 variety.

85. (Isosceles) macilenta. Genus novum ? Caput pronum, pro- 

 thorace plerumque latins ; facies convexa ; mandibulse parvae, 

 palpis manifesto breviores ; oculi arcuati, antennamm basin fe- 

 re amplexi ; antennas basi distantes, corpore plerumque brevi- 

 ores, subpilosae, 11-articulatae, articulis longitudine pedetentim 

 decrescentibus : prothorax fere cylindraceus, lateribus rectus, 

 inermis : elytra dorso complanata, prothorace paullo latiora, 



* I know nothing about the continental species called superstes ; my reniaris are 

 only applicable to those so named in British collections.
