 finely brown with white spots before apex ; hindwing dark fuscous brown. — Larva dirty yellowish grey, with 

 the dorsal vessel showing through; tubercles black with short pale hairs; head large, red-brown; thoracic and 

 anal plates yellowish brown; feeding in summer in clumps of various grasses; extremely like the larva of mono-

37. Genus: Eumichtis Hbn. 



Tongue present; palpi obliquely upturned, 2nd segment hairy, terminal short; frons smooth; antennae 

 of <J bipectinate, of $ simple, with a slight tuft in front of the basal segment; thorax and pectus hairy; 

 dorsum without tufts. Larva on low-growing plants, hybernating and feeding up in spring; the imago 

 emerges in autumn, occurring mainly, if not entirely, along the seacoast. Type Eumichtis lichenea Hbn. 



lichenea. E. lichenea Hbn. (32 a). Forewing dark to light green, varied with reddish along the inner margin 



and the course of the lines and round the stigmata; inner and outer lines grey, double; submarginal line pale, 

 preceded by rufous wedge shaped marks; claviform stigma small, dark; orbicular and reniform whitish, often 

 dusted with grey, with dark centres and blackish outlines; fringe green; hindwing of <J white, of $ light or 

 viridicincta. dark grey, with grey discal spot and outer, sometimes also a submarginal, line; in the form viridicincta Frr. 

 (23 a) the ground colour is grey tinged with olive, the central fascia generally darker olive, all the red tints 

 tephra. re pi ace d D y dark green; tephra H. G. is a paler grey form with the green tints also obsolete; aetna Turati, 

 from Sicily, is blackish, the markings on forewing distinct. Found on the coasts of Britain, S. W. France, 

 Spain, Portugal, Dalmatia and Sicily; also in Morocco. Larva pale green or brownish mottled with darker; 

 spiracular line pale; head yellowish; on low-growing coast plants, such as Senecio, Bumex etc. — ■ 



muscosa. E. muscosa Stgr. (23 b). Smaller than lichenea Hb?i.; pale grey, shaded with darker, with a faint 



olive tinge; central area darker; the lines more clearly defined; the inner simply curved; the stigmata neater 

 and smaller, the claviform obsolete; hindwing white, with slight grey suffusion towards termen; the § darker, 

 with the stigmata clearer. Armenia, Syria, Asia Minor. 



38. Genus: Crino Hbn. 



Tongue well developed; frons smooth, but like the vertex rough-haired; palpi upturned, stout, the 

 second segment hairy, the third short; antennae of $ usually serrate and shortly fasciculate; pectus and 

 femora hairy; abdomen with dorsal crests. A genus of species of much stouter build than Eumichtis; only 

 distinguishable from those of Parastichtis Hbn. by the cilia overhanging the eyes and these often difficult of 

 observation. Larva feeding on low plants. Type C. sommeri Lef. 



Sect. I. Antennae of <$ bipectinate. 



alboslig- C_ albostigmata B.-Baker. Forewing purplish-red, dusted and shaded with blackish brown; the 



median area and narrow terminal border dark; a diffuse blackish streak from base below cell; inner and outer 

 lines dark, conversely edged with whitish; claviform black-edged, pointed, joined by a black streak 

 to outer line; orbicular and reniform white with brown centres outlined in black, the former oblique and 

 elliptical, the latter large, long and narrow; submarginal line formed of small white lunules with a series of 

 dark marks on both sides; hindwing pale brownish; the cellspot, veins, and outer line darker. Madeira. 



atlanticum. C. atlanticum B.-Baker. Forewing brighter, more uniformly red than albostigmata, the median area 



not suffused with black brown; orbicular stigma round, of the ground colour; the reniform only slightly white, 

 but with a white line on outer edge; the subterminal line purplish red and more strongly marked; otherwise 

 like albostigmata, of which it may be a form. Madeira.
