200 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



Sp. 4. porata. Alis pallide flavis, rufo nigroque pulverulentis, fasciold medio 

 communis saturatiore, in qua ocellus niveus, iride fused. (Exp. alar. 11 — 13^ 

 lin.)

 Albin, pL xlix. No. 82. f. a—d. 



Wings pale yellow or rufescent, thickly pulverulent with rufous and black, 

 with a central fascia of a darker rufous common to all, in which is placed a 

 snowy ocellus, with a fuscous iris; in addition to which are two rather 

 obscure strigae of black dots, one before, the other behind, the middle, a row of 

 smaller black dots on the hinder margin, and frequently between the latter 

 and the posterior striga several fuscous clouds, disposed in a series. 



Exceedingly variable in the intensity of its hues and markings; in some 

 examples the striga and ocelli are nearly obliterated, and the fuscous clouds 

 on the hinder margin are totally wanting ; others have the central fascia 

 extremely broad j and in some the posterior wings are considerably paler than 

 the anterior. 



Caterpillar various, brownish, or pale flavescent; sometimes green, mottled with 

 paler colours : it feeds on the oak, birch, &c. : the pupa is brown : — the imago 

 appears in May, and again in August. 



Very abundant in Coombe, Birch, and Darenth Woods, and I 

 believe also in other parts. " Epping." — Mr. Doubleday. " Flisk, 

 N. B:'—Rev. J. Fleming. 



top. 6. albicinctata. Alis nigris, singulis puncto medio, strigdque juxta mar- 

 ginem posticum communi albis. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 1 lin.)

Wings black, each with a central black dot, and a whitish common striga to- 

 wards the hinder margin.

Sp. 7. punctaria. Alis omnibus rufescentibus atomis minutissimis nigris. 



+ Sp. 5. ocellaria. Alis lutescentibus fusco-nebulosis, omnibus ocellis disco nigris, 

 pupilld magnd albd. 



Ge. ocellaria. Hiibner, — Ge. ocellaria /3. Haworth (! ). 



Wings lutescent, clouded with fuscous, all with a black ocellus on the disc, 

 having a very large white pupil. 



From Duponchel's figure of this insect, copied from Hiibner, this insect appears 

 totally distinct from the foregoing, with which it has been considered syno- 

 nymous : it becomes therefore a matter of doubt whether it be indigenous.
