in size, succeeded by two pale sinuated streaks, the outer one more or less parallel with the apex, with several 
whitish dots on the costa. The hind wings rich orange, with a very broad subapical bar of black; the head 
and thorax are coloured like the fore wings, and the abdomen fulvous. The caterpillar is very thick and fleshy, 
and is found in the spring and autumn feeding on primrose, violet, potato, &c. It is ochre brown, with the 
head darker, two rows of small dusky spots down the back, and the region of the spiracles dark. This is a rare 
but widely-dispersed species, being occasionally beaten out of oaks in woods. It appears in June, July 
and August.

This species varies from 1} to nearly 13 inch in the expanse of the fore wings, which are of a red brown 
colour, with a considerable number of sinuated rows of dark marks, and with two black dotted streaks near the 
apex (the space between which is darker) beyond the ordinary stigmata, which are almost obliterated, The hind 
wings dull orange-coloured, dusky at the base, and with a broad black subapical fascia. It is not a common 
species, occurring in the woods of the metropolitan district in June and July. The caterpillar has the 
conspicuous markings en the eleventh segment obliterated.

This species varies from 1,3; to 1$ inch in the expanse of the fore wings, which are of a fine brown-grey 
colour, with a slate-coloured gloss in various parts ; several darker curved lines near the base, obliterated on the 
disc ; a broader curved bar across the centre, and a slender one nearer the apex, terminated on the costa in a 
triangular red-brown patch. The hind wings bright orange, with the base brown, and a broad subapical black 
band, much waved, within. The head and front of the body very pale buff ; the apex of the fore wings beneath, 
and the costa of the hind wings pale dull red. This is by no means a common species, although very widely 
distributed throughout England ; it frequents lanes and the margins of woods, and flies in July and August. 
The caterpillar is dirty-white coloured, with waved dusky stripes on the sides, and strongly-marked cuneiform 
spots on the eleventh segment ; it feeds on Arum maculatum and a species of chickweed. 

CERIGO, Srrruens. 
This genus in its preparatory states, as well as in the dark banded hind wings, agrees with Tmphena; it 
also agrees with that genus in its habits. It has accordingly been separated by Mr. Stephens from the genus 
Polia, in which Ochsenheimer placed it, and his genus has been adopted by the more recent French Lepidopterists. 
The antenne of the males are ciliated nearly to the tips, and the palpi compressed with nearly equal-sized joints ; 
the thorax is slightly tufted behind ; the abdomen square at the tip in the males, but conical in the females ; the 
upper wings rounded and denticulated at the tip, with the apex obtuse.
