double. Head prone, slightly narrower than the 2nd seg- 
ment, into which it is partially received ; it is sparingly beset 
with short, straight hairs. Body robust, more resembling 
that of a Leucania than that of a Geometer, a resemblance 
which is rather increased by its pale colour and longitudinal 
striping; every part of the body, but especially the anal 
extremity, bears short, straight, scattered hairs; a raised 
lateral skin-fold extends the whole length of the body, and 
the segmental and sectional divisions are clearly defined. 
Head and body putty-coloured; head with a few darker 
markings on each cheek, and five black ocelli on each side 
near the mouth; the space in which these ocelli are placed 
is paler than the rest of the head; the dorsal surface of the 
body has three compound stripes extending its entire length ; 
the medio-dorsal is divided longitudinally into three divisions, 
the middle one of which is composed of a series of wood- 
brown markings, and these again are resolvable into mere 
dots; the lateral divisions are pale brown, bordered with a 
series of darker dots; the side stripes partake of the same 
triple character, and include the spiracles, which are circular 
and as black as jet; the ventral surface has a triple median 
stripe, the middle division of which is single, the external 
divisions double. I am indebted to Mr. W. A. Luff, of 
Mansell Street, Guernsey, for a supply of these previously- 
unknown larve. They were forwarded purposely that I 
might describe them in the ‘ Entomologist;’ and I am much 
gratified to make this public acknowledgment of Mr. Luff’s 
kindness.—Edward Newman. 
Eupithecia extensaria taken in Yorkshire.—I received a 
Geometra from Mr. Prest, of York, this morning, which he 
wished me to name for him if I knew it. It is Eupithecia 
extensaria of Freyer, a very striking and rare species, which, 
I believe, has never before been captured out of Russia; this 
specimen is beautifully perfect. 1 have a male and female in 
poor condition, which were given to me by the late Julius 
Lederer, who said it was very rare. Dr. Staudinger has never 
had it for sale. It is figured by Herrich-Scheffer in his 
‘Geometra,’ figs. 124, 125: it is a very large species, and 
quite distinct from any other Eupithecia.—Henry Doubleday ; 
Epping, April 16, 1875.
