THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



British Museum General Collection. 



(1) Ponder's End. August, 1880. Leech Coll. White border. 

 Good condition. Upper scales of border very thin, transparent and 

 rolled up. Blue scales normal. 



(2) Scarborough, 1872. Leech Coll. The border and other pale 

 areas have been carefully painted white. It is probably a faked con- 

 tinental example. 



Doubleday Collection. 



(3-9) Seven specimens with no data. All have white borders. 

 The first three have the upper scales of the border thin and rolled 

 up, and the under scales thin and transparent and in some cases curled 

 up at the edges. The blue scales are normal. 



The fourth has the scales of the border in the same condition, but 

 the blue scales are rather thin and pale. The fifth and sixth have the 

 same scale defect in the border, but the blue scales are normal. In 

 the seventh, a worn specimen, the under scales of the border are flat 

 and pigmented, but such upper scales as remain are deficient in pigment 

 and curled at the edge or rolled up. The blue scales are thin and 

 some are curled or rolled up, while others are bent over sharply in 

 the middle exposing the lower surface in the distal part. 



Bankes' Collection. 



(10) Tottenham, 1877. In fine condition with white border. All 

 the upper scales of the border and costal markings are thin, rolled up 

 and devoid of pigment, but the light brown and blackish scales, which 

 produce the speckled appearance of the border, and the blue scales are 

 normal. 



(11) Ex. Coll. John Scott. Pale cream coloured border. Upper 

 scales with some pigment but curled at the edges and in some cases 

 rolled up.

 scales normal. 



(13) Rev. E. N. Blomfield, Hastings. September, 1889. This

 p. 143), has a deep cream border with normal scales.
