94 HAUSTELLATz\. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



of a group, but the diversity existing amongst its members, wliieli 

 calls for subdivision, and the consequent application of new names. 

 That Calophasia is closely allied to Cucullia there can be no doubt, 

 and its singular pupa confirms its affinity, while it removes it from 

 Xylina and its kindred genera. Ph. No. perspicillaris of Linneus, 

 which I have a faint recollection is in Mr. Swainson's cabinet, ap- 

 pears to belong to the present genus. 



Sp. 1. Linarise. Plate 29. f. 2. — Alis anticis fusco-cinereis, alho nigroque

 No. Linarife. Wien..V. — Ca. Liuarise. Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 104. No. 6367. 



Head brown, with whitish shades : thorax fuscous, with transverse white strigte 

 in front : anterior wings varied with fuscous and ash, each marginal areolet 

 towards the apex with a black dash or line more or less edged with white, present- 

 ing a striated appearance; near the centre of the wing is an attenuated black 

 streak with a fuscous spot in its middle, and between it and the posterior 

 margin is a reniform snowy- white spot, more or less margined with black; 

 between the attenuated black streak and the inner margin is an elongate, 

 linear, white, line edged with black at its apex, and from this a lunular cine- 

 reous striga with black edges extends to the inner margin, and an arcuated 

 striga of similar colour extends from the costa, passing closely behind the 

 reniform white mark, to the middle of the inner margin; cilia very long, 

 white, interrupted with brown : posterior wings pale fuscous, with the nervures 

 and hinder margin dusky; cilia white. 



Caterpillar pale yellow, with a broad lighter stripe on the back, and black and 

 white lateral striae; head cinereous, spotted with black: — it feeds on the An- 

 tirrhinum Linariffi, preferring the petals. 



The only examples I have seen of this remarkably conspicuous 

 insect are contained in the collection of the British Museum, and 

 in my own cabinet; they were captured in June, 1817, at Wood- 

 side, near Epping, and were obtained while recent, by Dr. Leach, 

 who, with his wonted liberality, supplied me with the fine specimen 

 whence the accompanying figure was designed. 



Genus CXLIII. — Eremobia* miM. 



Palpi short, subclavate, distinct, curved upwards ; the terminal joint slightly 

 exposed, conic-acute ; maxillw as long as the antennae. Antennce rather long, 

 very slender, simple, finely pubescent beneath in the males, the basal joint 

 rather large: head large, densely squamose: thorax subquadrate, slightly
