SATYR PUG. 239 



Edinburgh Pug {Eupitheda helveticarid). 



The two examples of this species on Plate 96, Figs. 3, 4, are 

 from the Pentland Hills, Scotland, and are referable to angli- 

 cata^ Milli^re. In this form, which is smaller than the type, 

 the fore wings are grey brown, more or less tinged with reddish, 

 and sometimes inclining to purplish ; the whitish edged dark 

 cross lines, especially the basal first and second, are usually 

 distinct, and the veins are often marked with black and white. 

 Ab. arceuthata, Freyer, a paler grey form, occurs in Buckingham- 

 shire, and has also been reported from Surrey. The specimens 

 from the latter county, at least those from the Dorking district, 

 were subsequently referred to E. satyrata. 



The stoutish and rather rough caterpillar is green, with three 

 lines along the back, the central one dark green, and the others 

 white ; a broad yellowish stripe low down along the sides. It 

 feeds on juniper, in June and July, and sometimes again in 

 September and October. The moth is out in April, May, and 

 June, and a second brood may appear in August and September. 

 The species seems to occur among juniper, in Scotland, from 

 Roxburghshire to Sutherland. It is local in North Lancashire, 

 has been reported from near Llandudno, North Wales, and, 

 as adverted to above, occurs in Bucks. 



Satyr Pug {Eupitheda satyrata). 



Four specimens are depicted on Plate 96. Fig. 5 represents 

 the typical pale brownish grey form, in which the cross lines 

 are indistinct, and the veins are marked with white and dusky. 

 Fig. 6 shows the rather browner, moorland ab. calliinaria., 

 Doubleday, and Figs. 7 and 8 depict two forms of the Shetland 

 race, known as var. ctirzoni, Gregson. A much rarer form than
