, brunnea, Fab. This is a beautiful and variable species, but the variation is diffi- cult to deal with. There are a bright red form and a dark purplish-brown IN THE BRITISH ISLANDS. 113 form, the latter approaching stigmatica var. Tristigma in colour. The quadrate spot in the darker specimens is very intense, but in some of the brighter red forms, it assumes the ground coloration of the rest of the wing. Occasionally, too, specimens are much marbled with ochre- ous in the central area of the w...ing, but the development and arrange- ment are very erratic. The diagnosis of Fabricius is as follows : " Noctua cristata, alis deflexis fuscis ; macula media transversa flava, margine brunneo. " " Alee anticse fuscae inaculis aliquot in primis marginis exterioris fuscis. In medio loco maculae ordinariae posticas macula transversa flava. Margo alas ipse brunneus. Posticse fuscae margine brunneo " (' Mantissa, ' p. 168, No. 223). The purely brown type is rare in Britain, and, of the purple forms, that with the central area mottled with reddish and ochreous is more common than the entirely purplish -black form.
