92 ACIDALIA BISETATA. 
the ground in the middle of each segment allows it to 
be seen. 
Var. 2.—This variety was so dark on the back 
that the segmental folds were no darker than the 
ground, but the space between the double dorsal 
lines was distinctly paler throughout, and the oblique © 
dashes, which in the first variety outlined the As, 
could still be traced. 
Var. 3.—A pale variety sent to Mr. Buckler by 
Mr. G. T. Porritt, of Huddersfield. Ground colour 
pale ochreous ; the broad bands wanting; the double 
dorsal line very fine, most distinct at the folds, the 
subdorsal line and the oblique dashes fine also, all 
brown in colour; under the spiracles a clouded irre- 
gular blackish stripe, shading off to the pale grey of 
the centre of the belly, with some oblique dashes. 
The pupa, as in the other species, just under the 
surface of the fine loose soil. (John Hellins, July, 
1868; H.M.M., September, 1868, V, 95.) 
ACIDALIA TRIGEMINATA. 
Jedi KODA IIL, tniee, 2b. 
I am very much indebted for young larve of this 
species to the kindness of Mr. J. R. Wellman, who 
captured the parent moth on the 18th of June, 1870. 
The egos, Mr. Wellman informs me, were, as well as 
he can remember, of a pale pinkish colour, and much 
like those of Acidalia rusticata ; they were laid loose 
in a box, and hatched in about ten days. 
The young larve were supplied at first with a 
variety of food, including maple, birch, and knotgrass. 
In their infancy they appeared to feed on the two first- 
named; but when nearly half-crown they fed entirely 
on Polygonum aviculare, and on this plant I had the 
pleasure to make their acquaintance on the 28th of 
June, and continued to feed them with the same up to 
their pupation, which occurred July 22nd to 24th.
