52 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY 



with two black dots near the base in place of a half-line, and 

 a row of dots in the position of the first transverse line. The 

 orbicular stigma is seldom distinct, but it has a slight indication 

 of a dark centre. The reniform stigma is enclosed in a yellow 

 border, and is most distinct on its lower half, which is filled in 

 first with ferruginous, and then with black. The second trans- 

 verse line is also composed of dots. The sub-marginal line is 

 the most distinct ; it is hooked above, but runs for the rest a 

 straight course. It is yellow, with a ferruginous border on the 

 inner side. In front of the unicolorous dentated fringes is a 

 row of small triangular dots, with a yellow line separating them 

 from the fringes. The hind-wings are yellowish ashy grey with 

 a slight lunule, and yellow fringes. 



The Yellow-line Quaker. 



The head and thorax have the same colour as the fore-wings, 

 and the abdomen is yellowish-grey, with reddish-yellow hair on 

 the sides, and an anal tuft of the same in the male. The 

 antennae are slightly pectinated in the male. 



The larva feeds on beech, oak, and birch. It is greyish- 

 brown, with numerous minute white dots, and several white 

 lines. 



The pupa is formed in an excavation in the ground, and the 

 moth emerges in August or September.
