6 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS (Jan.;\ 12 
Concerning the white spots on the under side—on our three 
specimens of rubi, from Cornwall and Dartmoor, England, the 
spots are clear white on the green background. In dumetorum 
the white spots are heavily bordered inwardly with brown. 
This brown border is very clearly shown in T. sheridani, which 
is much like dumetorum except that it has a broad white line, 
complete in some and slightly broken in other specimens, clear 
across both wings. 
In dumetorum the most noticeable and persistent spots are 
two in number on the secondary, one being midway on the 
costa, the other nearly in the center of the wing between the 
second and third median nervules. These are frequently 
strengthened by other smaller spots tending to form an irregu- 
lar postmedian line. On the 149 in our collections and the 29 
in Mr. Newcomer’s, one or the other of these spots persists in 
all but ten specimens which are spotless even when viewed 
through a low power glass. One specimen has a faint dot on 
costa of one wing only, while another specimen has a faint dot 
in center of one secondary. Two have only the costal spots on 
both secondaries, and fourteen have only the center spots, some 
clear and others faint. The predominant form has two spots, 
there being 108 of these. There are thirty others with two 
spots on the secondaries, but with faint brown markings on 
the primaries also; some of these are strengthened by traces of 
white spots. 
Two have three spots on secondaries; two have three on 
secondaries and traces on primaries; three have three on sec- 
ondaries and a distinct row of white spots on primaries; two 
have four spots on secondaries and a row of spots on prim- 
aries; finally, three have an irregular row of five spots on sec- 
ondaries, the costal and central being large and predominant. 
Summing up in percentages, about 21 per cent. have spots on 
both wings, 7314 per cent. on secondaries only, 5% per cent. 
on neither wing.
