THE LACE BORDER (_Acidalia_ (_Craspedia_) _ornata_).

The conspicuously marked white moth depicted on Plate 46, Figs. 13 and 14,
is unlikely to escape the notice of the collector who visits rough fields
and hillsides in some of the chalk districts of Southern England,
especially in the counties of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. Usually there are
two generations of the moth during the year; one is on the wing in May and
June, and the other flies in August and September.

The caterpillar is of long and slender build, the head is notched, and the
skin of the body is roughened. In colour it is ochreous brown above and
greyish beneath; there are three lines along the back, the central one
pale, except towards the head, edged with dusky, the others dark brown. On
each ring, from four to eight, are two dark V-shaped marks; low down along
the sides there is a dusky edged and mottled, pale ochreous stripe. It
feeds, from October to May, and in July and August, on thyme, marjoram, and
may be reared on garden mint. Abroad, the species ranges over Central and
Southern Europe, and through Asia to Amurland.

NOTE.--According to Prout (_Entom._ xxxix. 267), this species is the type
of the genus _Scopula_, Schrank. {124}

THE CREAM WAVE (_Acidalia_ (_Leptomeris_) _remutaria_).

This species (Plate 49, Figs. 1, 2) has the wings white or ochreous white,
becoming rather smoky grey on the front edge of the fore wings, and
sometimes this tinge spreads all over the wings. In well-marked specimens
there are two dark, wavy, cross-lines, a dusky central shade, and a dusky
shade-
