3 : tributed. Both the type 
var. doubledayaria, Mill. (speckled form) and the 
black variety, with intermediate forms, have been 
taken somewhat freely at electric light, Chester, by 
Messrs. Arkle, Dobie, and Newstead; also at electric 
light at White Hall, near Tarporley, by Mr. J. Henry 
Stock, M.P., who states that the var. doubledayaria is 
in the proportion of ten to one of the type. Mr. C. F. 
Johnson records that the type is very seldom taken at 
Stockport, though odd ones still occur there. The 
larvee vary as much as the perfect insects—some being 
glaucous-green; others browny-black. Miss Perkins 
records one larva from Bettws-y-Coed more white than 
black. Other records are: Colwyn Bay (N.); Conway 
Valley, types (Bl.); near Conway and Ruthin (W.G.)
