I am surprised that Mr. Crawshay did not recognize this as a 
rare British moth, usually known as the “ Crimson-speckled 
Footman.”

The single example obtained appears to have been at some time 
very wet, so that it is impossible to decide whether or not there 
have been any of the scarcely deeper bands across the primaries 
which a lens shows plainly on the front wings of ZL. crocata; the 
orange spot at the end of the cell is more regularly circular than 
in most examples and is not dotted with black. Until better 
specimens are received, it is not safe to assume that we have to do 
with a species distinct from L. crocata. 
115. A LIMACODID MOTH. 
The single specimen obtained was a female, not quite perfect : 
the neuration is slightly unusual, veins 7 and 8 of the front wings 
being emitted, from a footstalk, from 9. The sexes of some of the 
Limacodide differ so much from the males, that it is hardly safe 
to name an unpaired female, as it may subsequently prove to be 
merely the other sex of some well-known male insect,
