THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



237 



pectinata 



affinitata. These are like or approach the series in Mr. Webb's 

 collection bred by me from seed heads of the red catchfly 

 (D.urticce) gathered on my rabbit warren at Formby, 

 Lancashire coast, and are var. unicolora devoid of the 

 light strigae. 



alchemillata. Only one specimen brought. It is a rufous coloured 

 variety — that is, all the higher parts of the wings are red- 

 dish brown, and if this form proved more than a sport it 

 might very properly be called var. russata. There is a 

 specimen in Mr. Webb's collection approaching it, but 

 lighter. 



albulata 



decolorata. 



Eupithecia 



venosata. Some of these are more strongly veined and 

 marked than any I have ever seen. They are superb 

 forms. 



centaureata. 



satyrata. Large broad forms. 



castigata. 



abbreviata. 



exiguata. 

 Thera 



firmata. 

 Ypsipetes. 



elutata. 

 Melanthia. 



rubiginata. 



occellata. 

 Melanippe 



montanata. 



galeata. Fine well-marked lightish forms, 

 nuctuata. One large specimen. 

 Anticlea 



badiata. 

 unidentata,
