THE wings are indented, and of a bright chestnut 
brown colour, clouded with black ; the margin with

The larva is black, beset with spines and tufts of 
the same colour. The sides are marked with a 
double row of white spots; and the feet are red. 
It is found on the long plantain in April. It be-
