Ill 



which seems typical filipendnhE, have the sixth spot clead}^ divided 

 by the dark nervure, and in some cases the spot is small and indis- 

 tinct. The border of the hindwings varies considerably in breadth 

 in both sexes, but in no case is it very broad. 



A. filipenduUc. — Two apparently typical specimens, emerged July 

 14th and 15th, 1914, from cocoons taken at High Wycombe, June 

 27th, 1914 ; no larvae were noticed on this day, but a number of 

 worn, apparently A. /ilipendula, were flying. 



A. rilipendahc— Emerged July 20th to August 4th, 1914, from 

 cocoons (containing unturned larvc^e) taken at Pickett's Hole, on 

 July 12th, 1914. These appear to be more or less typical A. tili- 

 pendnlw, and are very small specimens. On August 18th, this year, 

 all A. jilipendnUe seen in this locality were much smaller than 

 those seen in previous years. The forewings of all these specimens 

 have the sixth spot indefinitely divided. The border of the hind- 

 wings varies very slightly in both sexes, but on the average is 

 noticeably narrower than in the specimens bred in July. Worn 

 specimens were flying on July 12th, when these cocoons were 

 collected.

 indication of line through sixth spot.

 near Kanmore Church. Breadth of border to hindwings varies. 

 Very slight indication of line through sixth spot. 



(8) A. hipporrepidis{'>). — Emergence June 18th-20th, 1914. Pupte 

 collected at Pickett's Hole (fairly moist hollow at foot of chalk 

 downs). Broad border to hindwings of males, and many of the 

 same sex with a distinct line through sixth spot. 



{3a) A tilipendnla or hybrid fiUpendnhc x hippocrepidis.— Emerg- 

 ence July 16th-August 4th, 1914. Pupte collected at Pickett's 

 Hole. Mostly small specimens. Males with a broad border to 

 hindwings and a slight indication of line through sixth spot. 



(4) A. filipendtdie, meadow form, or tiUpendula- x trifulii hybrid (?), 

 as trifoUi occurs in the district. Emergence July 23rd-26th, 1907.
