TOETRICINA. 229 



(in some lights pale golden); these streaks are produced into lustrous 

 blue lines, of which the anterior one is lengthened, and bounds the 

 ocelloid patch at the anal angle. The dorsal blotch is very indistinctly 

 defined, and of a slight leaden lustre. Along the apical margin is a 

 row of black dots. Apical scales shining, deep cinereous. Cilia broadly 

 iron-grey, with the bases pale ochreous. Posterior wings dusky 

 fuscous, deepest towards the margins. Marginal scales smoky black, 

 with drab, or slightly yellow bases. Cilia glossy, whitish. Abdomen 

 fuscous, the caudal tuft drab. $Exp. al. 6-6^ lin. Anterior wings, 

 in colours richer than those of the $ ; the irroration of ochreous 

 scales more general, particularly on the apical half; the costal streaks 

 not with so metallic a lustre ; the lustrous lines proceeding from 

 them broader, and of a brighter blue ; the black spots on the apical 

 margin larger ; posterior wings much darker ; the whole surface of 

 equal intensity. 



Not of very frequent occurrence. 



It appears in June, and occurs at Mickleham, Epping Forest, 

 West Wickham, Dear Guildford, in Gloucestershire, and other 

 places; occasionally in the vicinity of Edinburgh. 



3. G-ermarana, Hub. Alis anticis atro-purpureis, inunaculatis ; 

 costa strigis obliquis albis ; posticis fuscisve brunneis. tf Exp. al. 

 5|lin. 



Head glossy, brown, rather paler above and between the eyes. 

 Face brown. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the head, very pale brown 

 above and at the sides, pale drab between and beneath. Antenna 

 clothed with purplish brown scales. Thorax dull purplish brown. 

 Patagia paler than the thorax, glossy. Anterior wings dark plum- 

 colour (in some lights rich olive -green), most intense at the apex. 

 The costal streaks are scarcely visible before the middle, beyond 

 they are white ; the apical and sub-apical ones being simple, the 

 others geminated ; the apical spot distinct. No ocelloid patch visible, 

 but within the middle of the apical margin are three or four longi- 

 tudinal black lines, scarcely discernible from the ground-colour of 

 the wing. Apical scales chocolate-brown, with paler bases. Cilia 

 shining grey. Posterior wings golden brown, darkest at the margin. 

 Marginal scales golden brown, with paler bases. Cilia fuscous grey. 

 Abdomen glossy, purplish brown, the apex drab. Exp. al. 6 lin. 

 Not so bright in colour as the rf ; the posterior wings darker. 



An uncommon species ; varying in size, but tolerably constant 

 in colour. 



The imago appears at the end of June and beginning of July : 

 occurring at Darenth, Coombe, and Wickham Woods ; Sander- 

 stead Downs, and other places round London. 



The larva, according to M. Bruand, feeds in the of hips Roses, 

 and is pinkish white in colour.
