188 EUDOREA BASISTRIGALIS. 



EUDOREA BASISTRIGALIS. 



Eggs from a moth I took at Edlington Wood, near 

 Doncaster, on the 6th of September, 1879, were at 

 first pale straw-colour, but by the 16th were changing 

 to reddish ; they were oval and polished, and with a 

 depression on the side. (George T. Porritt, Note 

 Book, 16th September, 1879.) 



EUDORNA AMBIGUALIS. 



On the L8th of August, 1871, I received eggs from 

 Dr. F. Buchanan White. 



The egg is rather ovate in shape, of a pale brown 

 colour, changing to darker and finally to greyish-brown 

 before hatching. 



The young larvse began to hatch on the 20th of 

 August. They were at first very pale drab with 

 brown heads and plates. (William Buckler, August, 

 1871; Note Book I, 128.) 



EUDOKEA CONSPICUAIJS. 



On the 10th of August, 1883, I received a batch of 

 eggs of this species from Mr. John Sang of Burton- 

 on-Trent. They were laid on, and adhering to, paper 

 in little groups or clusters, and were difficult to deter- 

 mine as to the number in a cluster; they were so 

 joined as though run together when in a liquid state. 

 One or two single eggs were roundish-oval, and had a 

 pearly lustre and were whitish. Some others of the 

 clusters had turned of a greenish-drab colour. They 

 had depressions and linear indentations, and looked 

 somewhat gelatinous ; the surface Avas most minutely 

 pitted and shining. On the 14th many had turned of 

 a dirty olive-green, showing a blackish spot. On the 

 15th a few of these began to hatch.
