The Burnet Companion (Euchdta glyphua). ^v^ The ground colour of the fore wings is purplish brown, ^ sometimes becoming greyish on the outer area; the spaceVH^* between the dark brown or blackish cross bands is sometimesfilled up with the darker colour. Some specimens are muchgreyer than others, and all the examples in a series from theLake district that I have seen were distinctly grey, with verydark bands. The yellow on the hind wings sometimes inclinesto orange, and sometimes it is so pale as to be almost whitish ;there is also variation in the amount of black marking andshading on these wings.
