ENDEOMIS. 



Generic Distinctions. — Antenna in both sexes bipectinated ; 

 ^^a^ clothed with long hairs; wings entire, large, and rather 

 transparent. 



Endromis versicolor. Kentish Glory, The upper 

 wings in this species are rusty-red, inclining in some parts 

 to grey, each with two transverse bands of black, edged on 

 one side with white ; there are also other white marks, and 

 a small black crescent near the centre ; the inferior wings 

 are tawny-yellow, with a waved dusky line in the middle, a 

 small crescent, and a few white spots. The caterpillar is 

 pale green ; the under side spotted with black, and the sides 

 marked with oblique stripes of pale yellow; the form is 

 peculiar, bearing some resemblance to the Sphingidce, having 

 an elevation where they have a horn ; it feeds on a variety 

 of trees, and must be ranked with the rarer species, being 

 found principally in the woods of the south of England.
