and lemon-yellow stripes. The ventral area is less 

 distinctly marked than when ]ast described ; the 

 ground is greyish-yellow in the centre, rust-colour 

 at the sides, with double interrupted chocolate central 

 stripe ; at the sides are two other similarly coloured 

 stripes, the outer edge of the last being close to the 

 broad spiracular stripe; legs and prolegs greyish- 

 yellow, the latter marked on the outside with rust- 

 colour. 



Manner of feeding, walking, etc., just as when last 

 described. The last two larvae went down on the 21st 

 of September, but no imagines afterwards emerged 

 from any of them. (Geo. T. Porritt, May 9th, 1888 ;

EUCLIDIA GLYPHICA. 



Plate OV, fig. 4. 



On July 2nd, 1878, I received a good supply of 

 eggs, together with the parent moth, of this species 

 from Mr. Blackall of Folkestone. 



The eggs were globular, and distinctly ribbed from

 nearly black ; head pale wainscot-brown and polished ; 

 and there are rather long hairs scattered over the 

 body. 



They fed up well and rapidly on both the white and 

 red species of clover, and when from an inch to an
