ON BRITISH SPECIES OF EUPCECILIA. 89 



occurs in salt marshes in the Isle of Wight, and no doubt 

 in similar situations elsewhere. In Doubleday's Catalogue 

 it is confused with the next.

 qffiniianaf Douglas, Wilk. 



Belongs to the group of griseana, but with a yellow 

 ground colour. Occurs in salt marshes. It is not described 

 in continental works, but Herr Heinemann has bred it since 

 the publication of his work from flowers o^ Aster tripolium,y 

 and has sent me bred examples. 



Sp. 15. RUPicoLA, Curtis (1834). rwpcoZa, Curtis, Stainton, 

 Wilk., Heinem.; = humidana, Herr.-Schf. 



Occurs amongst Eupatorium cannahhium, on which the 

 larva no doubt feeds, probably in the stems. Varies much 

 in the ground colour, those from the fens being much more 

 obscure than others taken on the coast. Is especially liable 

 to deposit verdegris on the pin. 



Sp. 16. SUBROSEANA, Haworth (1812). subroseana, Haw. ; 

 = phaleratana, Ilerr.-Schf., Heinem. 



Occurs at Darenth, and other woods, amongst Solidago 

 virgaurea, and has been bred, I believe, by Mr. Standish 

 from the flowers of that plant. On the Continent it affects 

 Chrysocorys linosyris, a rare British plant. Great con- 

 fusion exists in our collections respecting this species ; the 

 next following generally bears the name, but Haworth's 

 type of his true species exists in the British Museum.
