yellow with a row of broad dull red bars along the back, 
interrupted and bordered by lines of the same colour, the 
sides and lower part much clouded with red. 
The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is in July, 
August, and September. 
It feeds on the flowers of the clematis ( Clematis 
mtalba), hemp agrimony ( Eupatorium cannabinum ), 
the golden-rod ( Solidago virgaurea ), and the wood 
angelica {Angelica sylvestris). 
The chrysalis is enclosed in an earthen cocoon, and is 
pale yellowish-red, the thorax and wing cases having been 
at first spotted with black. 
My best thanks are due to Mr. T. H. Allis, of York,
