THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 853 



Callimorpha Hera. — Plentiful in both Guernsey and Sark. 

 I have always found them more abundant near the coast, 

 where they are fond of settling on the sides of the cliffs, and 

 concealing themselves under projecting pieces of rock. They 

 fly in the morning in the sunshine, and also after dark in the 

 evening. They have several times flown to the light of my 

 lantern. I have only taken them twice at sugar. The yellow 

 variety (Lutescens) is much commoner in Sark than in 

 Guernsey. I have never observed Hera on the wing before 

 the 20lh of July. They are in full force during the first week 

 or two in August, and continue to the end of the month. The 

 eggs are hatched in about twelve days after they are laid. I 

 have only twice found the full-grown larvae. I once took 

 several off dead nettle (Lamium album), and on another 

 occasion I found one feeding on whitethorn at night. I have 

 reared them from the egg, feeding them on lettuce, which they 

 preferred to their proper food-plants.

 July and August. 



B. Trijolii. — The larvae are found commonly in Guernsey 

 and Sark all around the coast, feeding on various grasses and

 whitethorn, blackthorn, and oak. I received more than a
