162 Dr. T. A. Chapman and Mr. G. C. Champion on 
broom of several species. It was however apparently rare, 
as I only obtained 5 males and 5 cocoons of females and one 
larva. The moths,so far as one may generalise from so few, 
are large, four being 26 mim. and one 28 mm. in expanse, 
averaging therefore 1 mm. more than var. predrahite, the 
largest of the forms taken at Bejar. They are also dark, 
quite as dark as var. piedrahitx. The cocoons are rather 
paler than the Bejar examples, a pale rose-pink, rather 
than the red of the Bejar forms. The 2 moth showed a 
broad series of dark dorsal markings, the subdorsal and 
spiracular lines united into one band, with pale included 
patches and dark subspiracular and ventral lines broad. 
To describe the larva almost the same terms would be 
used, but the dark lines were a little less pronounced. 
This habitat is by a long way the most extreme north 
spot yet recorded, indeed until I took it at Bejar, Andalusia 
and the neighbourhood of Madrid (La Granja, etc.) were 
its known habitats. 
At Branuelas, I met with another species of Heterogynis, 
which I must provisionally indicate as pened/a, var. weedinis 
(Ucedo, a village near Braiiuelas), though it may prove to 
be a distinct species; of this I found four 2 cocoons on July 
15th. They were on heath-stems two or three feet from 
the ground, I searched closely and could find no more, nor 
could I detect any leguminous plants within some hundred 
yards or so. From these cocoons emerged numerous 
parasites and some young larve; the larvee agreed with 
those of penella and not with paradoza, the cocoons, how- 
ever, were large for penella and too pale (nearly white) for 
paradona, they agreed with the latter however in an 
important point of structure e, viz. the outer cocoon was 
woven into a network of large openings like the work of 
paradova and not like penella, which has each thread 
independent in an equally distributed tangle.
