having one anal point; C. psitticata, C. miata, C. russata, C. im- 
manata and C. fulvata having two, and the rest none at all. I should 
be glad to hear something of the variety of this larva described in 
Stainton’s ‘ Manual,’ from Freyer, and figured also by Hiibner: I have 
myself taken and bred the larve in this locality, and last year had a 
great many kindly sent to me from Scotland, Yorkshire and Cheshire, 
but amongst them all could not find one that could be called “ rosy ” 
or pink: the ground colour in all was yellowish green of various tints, 
and the markings of a dark crimson-brown. 
Cidaria russata and C.immanata. For the following remarks I 
can claim no credit to myself, having compiled them from various 
communications made to me by Mr. H. Doubleday; but, knowing 
from experience what uncertainty there exists in the minds of many 
entomologists concerning these two species, I thought that the infor- 
mation, which had been useful to myself, might be welcome to others 
also. 
As the moths are well known in a general way, I am not. going to 
describe them, but shall refer at once to the accompanying cuts, from 
drawings by Mr. Buckler,

Mr. Doubleday, which are 
3 designed to show the shape 
of the fore wings of each 
species, with their principal 
markings: and it will be 
. , noticed, first, that there is 
a difference in the shape of 
the fore wings; in C. im- 
C. immanata. C. russata, manata they are narrower 
than in C.russata,and more 
pointed at the tip, in some specimens becoming almost falcated; this 
formation of the wings causing C. immanata, when at rest, to resemble 
one of the Deltoides, and in that position Mr. Doubleday tells me he 
can recognise it at a glance. 
Again, by reference to figs. 2 and 4, it will be seen that the priv- 
cipal markings of the fore wings consist of two transverse bands, one 
narrow near the base, the other wider and occupying the centre, and 
both bordered with angulated lines: in the paler varieties of each, as 
shown in figs. 1 and 3, there is in the larger band an inner pair of 
lines, which in the darker varieties does not appear plainly ; besides 
these there are other angulated lines, appearing more or less dis-
