Wings bluish-green; the anterior with a very obscure slender pale striga towards 

 the base, and a second distinct common one behind the midtlle, very slightly 

 waved ; cilia pale, with the base greenish. 



Caterpillar greenish, with red dorsal spots: it feeds on the oak, hazel, white- 

 thorn, &c. : — the imago appears about the middle of June. 



Formerly abundant near Peckbam, but of late years this species 

 has only occurred in the New Forest, whence I possess very finely 

 coloured examples, taken in June, 1829. " Baron-wood,"— T. C.

Sp. 2. cloraria.^ Alis ciliisque viridibus, strigd communi albidd. (Exp. alar.

Wings pale green, all with a single whitish striga, placed behind the middle ; 

 cilia entirely green, longer than in the preceding insect. 



I possess a specimen which I obtained from Mr. Francillon's 

 cabinet : it is evidently distinct from the foregoing species. 



Sp. 3. Thymiaria. Alis saturate viridibus, striga fiexuosCi ante, alter aque com- 

 muni pone medium albicantihtis, ciliis nigro maculatis. (Exp, alar. 1 unc. — 

 1 unc. 1—2 lin.)

 Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 153. No. 6734. 



Wings dark green ; the anterior with a flexuous whitish striga before the middle, 

 and a second, common to all the wings, behind the middle, somewhat angu- 

 lated in the posterior wings : on the disc is an obsolete dusky lunule ; and 

 the cilia are whitish, spotted with black. 



Variable in size : I have a specimen which is scarcely 9 lines across, of a dirty 

 green, with pale spots on the cilia. I supposed it was distinct : it is the Ge. 

 vernaria of Esper.—Vt. vernaria. Steph. Catal. I. c. No. 6735. 



Caterpillar green, with darker clouds ; it feeds on the oak, whitethorn, Szc. : — 

 the imago is found at the end of June. 



Very abundant in all the woods within the metropolitan district 

 in June : also found in my own garden. " Epping." — Mr. Double-
