Rare at Windsor, the New Forest, and New Lanark, Scotland, H. Walker, 

 Esq. This species is more robust than No. 3, and the bars are of a fine 

 orange colour; yet I cannot think that it is any more than the female, or 

 a variety of it, or it may be a hybrid between that insect and the following, 

 which sometimes has the antennae black, at others entirely orange.
