Pseudohazis Eglanterina
Form nuttalli Strecker, Plate IX, Fig. 7, Male; Plate XI, Fig. 5, Male. (Nuttall's Sheep-moth.)
The two figures given on our plates show two forms of this well-known insect. Whatever the amount of black or purple upon the fore wings the specimens may always be distinguished from others by the presence just beyond the discal spot of the fore wings of a longitudinal dash of Indian yellow. This is characteristic, and I have never failed to find it in a long series of specimens, no matter how the other markings varied.
