154, HYBERNIA LEUCOPHAARIA. 
When full-grown—about the end of May or 
beginning of June—they had somewhat of a square- 
built figure, being stoutish, and of uniform size 
throughout; in fact, they can by no means be called 
elongate, although most of their congeners are well 
described by that word. 
The variety most commonly met with has the ground 
colour of a very pale yellowish-green, or very pale 
olive-green, with a yellowish dorsal line, double, but 
almost running into one at the segmental divisions, 
and a subdorsal line rather paler. Some specimens 
have in addition numerous dots of pale yellowish-white. 
This seems to be the variety described (from Guenée) 
in Stainton’s Manual. 
he variety coming nearest to this is one which I 
never saw, except in the batch bred from the eggs sent 
me by Mr. Doubleday. It had the ground colour of a 
pale pea-green, with dorsal and subdorsal lines like 
the last, only on each of the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, 
and ninth segments it had a longish dash of dark 
brown immediately below the subdorsal line. 
The third variety was also peculiar to the brood 
from Eppmg. It had the ground colour of a very pale 
drab, dorsal and subdorsal lines pure white; on each 
side of the second segment, behind the lobes of the 
head, was a blotch of dark brown; down the back, in 
the centre of each segment, was a dark brown triple 
wedge-shaped mark, and at each segmental division a 
black spot; the subdorsal line bordered below, 
throughout its length, with dark brown dashes. 
One might indicate several more varieties, but I 
shall include the rest under one, as they have the same 
markings, and differ chiefly in depth of colour. 
Ground colour yellowish-green, full green, sometimes 
dark olive; dorsal and subdorsal lines varying also 
with the ground colour, in the darkest specimens 
becoming much suffused, and interrupted at the seg- 
mental divisions by a dark brown transverse band ; 
second segment with the two large round dark spots ;
