140 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Oxford, and at Ryde, I.W., on April 22nd (op. cit., xiii, p. 116), 
but generally speaking it was conspicuous only by its absence in 
that year. A typical spring generation in the strict sense is, 
therefore, unrecorded and unlikely to occur in Britain of the form 
I have mentioned from the Mediterranean region, which has been 
named Stauder. 
(i) Gen. vern. vernalis, Verity (1906) = Mediterranea, Stauder 
(1913). Costa bright rose-coloured and more brilliant than in 
the gen. est. Ground-colour paler,-marginal bands sometimes 
much enlarged; on the contrary, sometimes narrow, and the 
nervures therein as in Chrysotheme, sp. Hind wings 3 and 2 
very green; underside powdered bright green. Fringes light 
violet-rose ; the series of anterior marginal spots strongly accen- 
tuated from costal to anal margin; hind wings with violet tint. 
(ii) Gen. est. The southern second generation and parents 
of our August emergence. ‘Typical Hdusa. 
(111) Gen. autumn. (= forma autumnalis, Rocci). Confined 
normally to the southern regions, and more or less typical, 
though often reduced in size. Parents of the gen. vern., with 
late emergences probably continued to the advent of this form. 
(?(iv) Viz. the late autumn form, which is that, or 
approximate to that, of vernalis.|

TRIFINE. 
Eremobia ochroleuca.—Series of 40, 26 of which have data. 
Twenty-five are from Kent and Essex. One from the Champion 
Collection is labelled ‘‘ bred Guildford.” 
T'rachea atriplicis—Twenty-seven, most of them from the 
older collections and without data. Two from the Norgate Col-

‘ Barrett,’ vol. iv, p. 330. 
Luperina testacea.—From the Meldola Collection. Is a very 
dark brown specimen, almost black, in which usually markings 
are almost invisible. It is labelled ‘‘ Lanes, St. Anne’s-on-Sea,
