CABERA EXANTHEMATA. 133 
bordered with whitish; subdorsal lines yellowish- 
white, in some specimens very indistinct or wanting ; 
un interrupted, irregular, dull purplish band forms 
the spiracular line. Spiracles and the usual dots 
black. Belly uniformly green, with the segmental 
divisions yellowish. Legs purple; ventral legs purple 
on the outside only. 
Var. 2.—Brighter green than in var. 1, and the 
purple dorsal arrow-heads wanting, but having the 
distinct black dots on the posterior of the segments ; 
the dorsal line is more distinct than in var. 1; the 
subdorsal lines are yellowish, and the spiracular lines 
formed by a series of interrupted purple marks, most 
distinct on the anterior segments. Head without the 
purple marks on the crown, but marked with that 
colour on the cheeks as in var. 1. (George T’. Porritt,

CoRYCIA PUNOTATA. 
Plate CXX, fig. 4. 
C. temerata [C. punctata of Stainton’s Manual] 
occurs in this neighbourhood (Exeter), flying in May 
and June near wild cherry trees, or along blackthorn 
hedges, and I have once or twice succeeded in rearing 
it from the egg. 
The ¢?s certainly prefer to deposit their eggs in the 
crevices of the bark of their food-plant, or at the axils 
of the small shoots; and if they have not the oppor- 
tunity of doing so will lay but sparingly, or even 
refuse to lay any eggs at all. 
The larve are hatched in about fourteen days, and 
are at first of a deep yellow colour; they soon change 
to green, and after a time put on a broadish dorsal 
stripe of pale yellow; this at the last moult changes 
to the dorsal row of bright red spots which, con- 
trasting with the rich velvety green of the ground 
colour, make the larva so handsome to look at.
