250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Altogether the impression one cains from the fore wings beneath 
is that they are dark in colour and traversed by pale wedges, 
whilst the hind wings strike one as being white with brown 
wedges. 
Habitat.—Blackhall Rocks, Co. Durham. 
The accompanying illustration shows a series of upper- and 
under-sides of astrarche vars., but for the moment and for the 
Photo. Philipson g Son, Ltd., Newcastle-oneTyne. 
purpose of comparison only the under-sides need be specifically 
mentioned. They are: 
First row: ab. discreta. Second row: type astrarche, ab. 
vedre, var. salmacis, var. artaxerxes, ab. cuneata. Third row: 
ab. deleta. 
These seven are Durham Coast specimens—in fact fourteen of 
the fifteen illustrated are from this county. 
I hope at a later date to deal with the whole series illustrated.
