the narrow band on the hind wings, not usually extended to the front edge,
is in this specimen entire, whilst the greenish-banded specimen referred to
above is without trace of a band on the hind wings. Two examples which are
without locality, but which, I believe, came from the New Forest, have pale
greyish-brown fore wings banded with brown in which there is a tinge of
olive. Two examples of the male are figured on Plate 108. The eggs (Plate
{269} 106, Fig. 2a) were pale greenish yellow when laid, May 17 to 20; the
larvae hatched out from May 31 to June 2.

The caterpillar, which is also depicted on the plate, is reddish brown,
mottled with yellowish brown. It feeds on birch, sallow, ash, etc., from
June to August.

The moth, as a rule, does not emerge until the following spring, but
sometimes specimens will come out the same year.

Although widely distributed over nearly the whole of the British Isles, the
species seems to be rarely met with in large numbers. The range abroad
extends to Amurland, Corea, and Japan.

Switzerland, and other parts of the continent, but which is very rare in
Britain, and has been recorded from Kent and Suffolk. Sometimes, but
chiefly in Scotland, the colour varies to a greyish or even yellowish tint;
the cross lines are often parallel or nearly so, and frequently approach
each other about the middle; the usual white edging to the cross lines is
occasionally absent, and the enclosed space in such specimens is hardly
darker than the general colour.
