MONOGRAPHIA EGERlARUM ANGLI.E. 81 



linea laterali longitudinal! flava : pectus cceruleo nigrum macula 

 magna laterali flava': abdomen coeruleo-nigrum, cingulo albido : 

 femora nigra, antica extus ad basin flava: tibiae nigrae, spinis 

 luteis, posticae interne flavescentes : tarsi flavescentes nigro 

 irrorati: alae anticae hyalinae, supra apice, venis marginibus 

 fasciaqae transversa latiore nigris ; cilia fusco-cinerea. 

 Habitat in Anglia rarissime : imago reperitur Junii diebus involans 

 in flores, vel sedens in Betulae albae truncis, cujus ligno larva vic- 

 titat. 



Mr. Stephens figures this species with two white belts. 

 Laspeyres describes it as having but one; and the British 

 specimens I have seen certainly have no more. Priority, as 

 well as grammar, in this instance, demand the restoration of 

 the original name. 



Genus III. Conopia, Hubner. 



Palpi elongati : antennae thorace longiores, maris ciliatae : abdomen 

 maris medio compressum gracilissimum, femince gracile, utrius- 

 que sexus valde barbatum, barba triloba dilatata. 



This Genus differs from the foregoing, in having a single 

 red belt on the abdomen, and in having the abdomens of the 

 males very slender in the middle ; the palpi, also, are rather 

 more incrassated at the base, and have a slightly angulated 

 appearance, somewhat as in Paranthrene.

Palpi maris supra nigri, subtus albi, feraincs toti nigri : antennas 

 nigrae : thorax coeruleo-niger : pectus macula magna laterali in- 

 aurata : abdomen coeruleo-nigrum, cingulo coccineo : femora nigra, 

 antica extus lineola alba : tibias nigrae : tarsi pallidiores : alas an- 

 ticas supra venis marginibus fasciaque transversa nigris. 



Habitat in Anglia frequens, involans in floribus, et sedens in foliis 

 Rubi idaei, cujus medulla probabiliter larva victitat.
