THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
No. 182.] AUGUST, MDCCCLXXIV. [Price 6d. 
VARIETY OF ARCTIA LUBRICIPEDA (FEMALE). 
Variety of Arctia Lubricipeda.—The antenne are simple ; 
the ground colour of all the wings is cream-colour; the fore 
wings are marked with black, the base, fringe, wing-rays and 
four blotches excepted; the markings of the hind wings are 
not so dark as those of the fore wings, and in them the base, 
wing-rays and fringe alone are cream-coloured ; the head and 
thorax are the same colour as the ground of the wings, and 
the body is yellow, with six black spots down the middle and 
on each side.—G. R. Dawson; June 18, 1874. 
[Mr. Dawson has most obligingly lent the specimen for 
the purpose of figuring in the ‘Entomologist.’ The late 
Mr. John Curtis published a beautiful figure of a very similar 
variety, under the name of Arctia radiata. A similar variety 
of Arctia Menthastri occasionally, but very rarely, occurs.— 
Edward Newman.)
