LTCLENE.— SETINOCIIROA. 85 



Feeds on minute mosses ; when disturbed the liirva rolls itself into a ball, iu which 

 position the thick hair divides at the junction of each somite. 



Cocoon thickly set with tlic hairs of tlie larva; the reddish pupa can be indistinctly 

 seen through the web. 



Lyclene ruptifascia. (Plate ("LVIII. fig. 12.) 



Expanse f inch. 



Male. Ochrcous; fore wing with a black almost basal spot ; a black streak above it on 

 the costa ; a waved subbasal band ; an inwardly oblique broad median band, with a spot 

 beyond it at end of cell ; the submarginal band reduced to small irregularly placed spots 

 between the nervules, which arc larger and joined towards inner margin ; a series of anteeilial 

 specks. Hind wing with a very indistinct transverse medial band. 



Allied to L. semifascia, which has two irregular median bauds instead of the broad

Lyclene varians. (Plate CLVIII. figs. 10, 20, 32, 33.) 



Expanse (J & $ | inch. 



Male. Head and thorax orange ; a black spot on each tegula; abdomen black, fulvous 

 at extremity. Fore wing : ground-colour orange, but so much suffused with smoky black 

 that it only appears in small patches; in the most suii'used specimens the orange only appears 

 as a small patch at the base and two short streaks along the costa, whilst in others it appears 

 as small patches iu the cell and along inner and outer margins. Hind wing entirely smokv 

 black. 



Female with the fore wing less suffused with black ; in the most suffused specimens there 

 is an orange patch at the base, two ou the costa, one on inner margin, and a marginal orange 

 band on which is a series of marginal black specks; whilst in the least-suffused specimens 

 the black is confined to three irregular bands, one subbasal, another medial from the costa 

 to the first median nervule, and the third postmedial, all three coalescing below the median 

 nervure ; the marginal black specks are prominent, and also the deep black subbasal speck 

 which is present in all ; some orange also appears on the hind wing near the anal angle and 

 on the cilia.
