EPHYRA PENDULARIA. 67 
median suture, dull ochreous-yellow. Throughout the 
dorsal area extends a broad, pale, smoky band, having 
through its centre the pale grey medio-dorsal line; 
bordering this band on each side are the interrupted, 
indistinct, similarly coloured subdorsal lines; there 
are no perceptible spiracular lines, but that region is 
variegated with conspicuous pale grey marks. On 
the front of the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth 
segments 18 a very conspicuous brick-red transverse 
mark ; the spiracles and trapezoidal dots are distinct, 
black. The ventral surface is dull smoke-colour, with 
interrupted grey central stripe; legs pale yellowish- 
brown barred with black, prolegs pinkish-purple. 
Var. 2 has the ground-colour bright green, and the 
head reddish-brown. Medio-dorsal line indistinct, 
yellowish-grey, edged on the second, third, and fourth, 
and again on the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth segments, 
with a dark green line; subdorsal lines more distinct, 
yellowish-grey ; there are no perceptible spiracular 
lines,that region being variegated with yellowish-green ; 
the anal segment is of the same colour as the head, 
reddish-brown, but has in addition a yellow streak 
outside each clasper; spiracles and usual dots very 
minute, black; the segmental divisions yellow. The 
ventral surface is green with interrupted paler central 
stripe; the legs and prolegs reddish-brown. 
The moths from both varieties have appeared during 
the present month (June, 1873). (George 'I’. Porritt, 
June 10th, 1873; H.M.M., August, 1873, X, 71.) 
HyYRIA AURORARIA. 
Plate CXVI, fig. 1. 
This species is not one of the wnknowns, still I 
venture to give my notes on it, since the larve I have 
seen differed not only among themselves, but algo 
from the description given in the Manual after Guenée.
