 interrupted by a pale submarginal line; fringe chequered fuscous and grey; hindwing dingy grey in $, whitish in $ ; 

 the terminal half fuscous in $, reduced to a narrow grey border in <J; — ab. subalbida Stgr. (29 c), (queried by subalbida. 

 him as possibly only the summer brood) from Sicily and Algeria is much whiter, the dark markings of the fore-

 intensified and blackish brown. — Found in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Sicily, and 

 Algeria; also in Asia Minor, Syria, and Crete. — Larva like that of lunula, whitish with yellow lines and trans- 

 verse black blotches; but these are smaller and more numerous, and the yellow lines are more interrupted at the

 tinged in places with brown; basal area with irregular darker smears and spots; the 3 stigmata whitish, but 

 without definite shape; outer line dark grey edged with paler, acutely angled below costa, then oblique to middle

 Asia Minor and Syria. 



C. casta Bkh. (= opalina Esp.) (29 c). Forewing pure white; outer half of wing with leaden grey and casta. 

 fulvous shading, forming a broad median band, sometimes interrupted, and a cloud on each side of the outer

 and submedian veins, the inner line ; the outer line is only visible below middle, black and waved, edged externally 

 with white; submarginal line also interruptedly white, followed by irregular black and brown terminal patches 

 between the veins; fringe brown at base, then brown overlaid with grey scales, the outer half chequered brown 

 and white; hindwing white, with brown terminal border, broader and darker in the $; fringe white. A south
