broken, in the middle of" its length ; behhid this is sometimes a row of 

 tlusky clouds ; and on the hinder margin itself is a brown Une : posterior 

 wings pale ashy sulphur, with a faint subbasal spot, and two evanescent 

 dusky streaks; or sometimes brownish with darker streaks: cilia glossy 

 yellowish-brown. 

 The caterpillar feeds on the wild madder {Galium, mollugo): the imago 

 appears towards the middle of July. 



Rather rare : it has occurred in woody places near London, and 

 also rather abundant) v near Halvert^ate in Norfolk.

Anterior wings of an ochraceous straw-colour, with an incurved rusty-brown 

 streak towards the base, a second very tlexuous one behind the middle, 

 with a minute spot and an elongate line between them towards the costa ; 

 on the hinder margin is a dusky line: posterior wings whitish, with the 

 hinder margin, especially towards the costa, ashy ; sometimes with a faint 

 spot near the base and an obsolete repanded -streak behind the middle. 



The caterpillar feeds on the spikenard {Conyza squarrosa), and other plants. 



Not very uncommon in some places near London in June, espe- 

 cially at Darenth-wood and its vicinity : I have also taken it at 

 Ripley and Hertford, but more sparingly.

Anterior wings rusty-red or brownish, with darker longitudinal streaks, a 

 brownish lunule in the middle, and a second towards the apex ; the extreme 

 hinder margin and the cilia white: posterior wings whitish, with a reddish

The only example I have seen of this insect was taken several 

 years since, in June, near Cambridge, by my friend the Rev. 

 W. Blunt.
