Bipunctaria 



v. Gachtaria Frr. This is an obscurely marked form, probably an 

 aberration only. I do not know that it occurs in Britain, but it is 

 given by South. 



Lineolata 



Carsia 



Imbutata 



This is a variable insect and Staudinger gives our name to a variety, 

 calling the type Paludata, Hub. I do not know if both are 

 supposed to occur with us, but Paludata is pale and less distinctly 

 marked than imbutata. 



Anaitis 



Plagiata 



A smaller and paler form occurs in Greece, &c. It is called 

 Pallidata, Std. 

 Lithostege 



Griseata 

 Chesias 



Spartiata 

 Obliquaria 



This species was named Eufata by Fabricius in 1775, and not 

 until the following year by that we use, which should yield to the 

 earlier name. 



Odezia 



Chosrophyllata.

" Hepialus Humuli." — In size the specimens are rather smaller than 

 Lancashire specimens, and many of them are exactly like ours in colour. Some 

 of the males are darker on the thorax and decidedly blacker 011 the undersides,
