116 STBBRHA SACRARIA. 



described in 1865, the ground colour of which is 

 decidedly green, and the edgings of the lines red ; 

 some are blue-green, some full green, some bright 

 green ; and the edgings are dark red, bright rust-red, 

 or pinkish. As before, the dorsal line varies in dif- 

 ferent specimens in being either of uniform width or 

 else widened at the folds and interrupted. 



Var. 3. On the other side of the type comes a 

 plainer variety, in which the ground is more or less 

 ochreous, sometimes becoming as warm in tint as a 

 piece of clean fresh-cut cork; the belly sometimes 

 whitish, sometimes paler ochreous than the back ; the 

 pale dorsal line still varying as before in width, and 

 although occasionally darkly margined, yet more gene- 

 rally in this variety not so distinctly defined; in one 

 or two specimens the lines were scarcely visible. 



I noticed that the pupse were darker than those of 

 1865, perhaps because they were sickly. (John
