HESPERIA.

2. — H. Ludoviciae, Mabille, ‘ Description cl’Hesperies, Ann. Soc. 
Ent. Belg. 1883, p. Ixviii. 
This is a new species described by M. P. Mabille, loc. cit. It 
seems to me close to the next species, H. Lineola, and has been 
taken at Murat in Auvergne, and in the Val d’Eyna, Pyrenees ; 
also by Fallou in Switzerland. 
I have not had an opportunity of seeing any examples, and, 
as no figure accompanies the description in the Ann. Soc. Ent. 
Belg., I am unable to figure the species in this work, or do any- 
thing further than quote verbatim the original description, as I 
had to do in the case of LyccBiia Panope : — 
P. Lineola, Och., minor et ei proxima, sed habitu gracili, 
statura et colore diversa. Intense aut obscure fulva. Alas anticae 
late nigro-marginatae, cum ramis nigro-scriptis ; nervula dis- 
coidalis nigra cellulam claudens ; lineola nigra, maris indicium, 
exilis, nervo parallela. Al® posticas fulvo-nigrantes, raro fulvae, 
marginibus late infuscatis. Alae anticae subtus apice nigranti mar- 
gine interne nigro, parte interiori alae nigra ; posticae fuscescentes, 
squamis nigris creberrimis consitae spatio anali sordide luteo-fusco, 
caetera ut inP. Lineola.” 
3. — H. Lineola, 0. i. 2, 230 ; Boisd. Ic. 47, 4, 5 ; Dup. i. 41, 
1-3 ; Err. 631, 2. 
ViEGULA, Hiib. 660-3. 
Expands from 1-08 to 1*20 in. Very close to Thaumas, which 
it resembles in size ; the wings above are fulvous, but not so bright 
as in that species ; the hind margin is less black, and in the male 
the central black line is much narrower, sometimes broken into 
two, and occasionally almost obliterated. Under side : Fore 
wings fulvous, blackish towards the base. Hind wings yellowish 
white in the male, greyish white in the female, without markings. 
Clubs of the antennae deep black beneath. 
Time of Appeakance. — July. 
Habitat. — The same as Thaumas, but it is not so common, 
and does not occur in Britain. 
Laeva. — Bright green, with five yellow lateral lines. Head 
reddish. It feeds on grasses in June,
