130 ACIDALIA DEGENERARIA. 
are distinctly divided in halves by the thin pale 
ereyish-ochreous dorsal line, which then vanishes, but 
reappears as a pale spot or two within the base of the 
hinder V mark; the subdorsal line is of the same pale 
colour, and also appears only for a little just at each 
end of a segment, where it intersects a dark brown 
streak at the side of the back, slanting in a course 
parallel to the limbs of the Vs; on the hinder rust- 
coloured segments the markings are more tender, and 
on the last three are but imperfect diamond shapes 
of brown, the tubercular blackish dots being visible 
on them; a faint thin line of ashy-grey separates the 
colouring of the back from the blackish belly, which 
has on each segment three ashy-grey marks, together 
in form resembling a lyre, and two dots of the same 
erey colour at each end; the spiracles are black, and 
the tubercular warts and their short bristles are very 
minute and rather numerous at each end of the body. 
The only variations that occurred were, that one 
individual from first to last continued to be rust- 
coloured, and that another became after hybernation 
wholly suffused with dark brown. 
The pupa is three-eighths of an inch in length, 
plump, and tapering rapidly near to the anal tip, which 
ends in a blunt curved spike proceeding from a 
little flattened knob; its colour is chestnut-brown.

ACIDALIA EMARGINATA. 
Plate CXIX, fig. 10. 
I have several times had the eggs of Acidalia 
emarginata, but it was not until last year that I 
succeeded in rearing the larvee to maturity, the speci- 
mens being the result of a batch of eggs received 
from Mr. F. D. Wheeler, of Norwich, on the 29th 
July, 1874.
