Anterior wings of a bone-white, with an irregular black streak reaching from 

 the base to the middle, extending along thecosta; in the middle of the disc 

 are two rounded deep black spots : on the middle of the inner margin is 

 another dark streak, and one near the apex, also towards the inner margin. 



A very rare species; taken in the middle of June in hedges 

 near Darenth-wood ; and, I believe, also near Westerham.

Anterior wings white, with a black fascia at the base, continued on the costa 

 alone nearly to the middle, and terminating in a slight distinct spot, which, 

 with two other spots of a lead-coloured hue, forms an obscure interrupted 

 oblique streak across the wing, ending near the anal angle ; hinder margin 

 more or less brownish, with a circular clouded spot towards the anal angle, 

 in which three or four minute, but distinct, black dots are placed transversely: 

 posterior wings fuscous ; palpi luteous. 



Taken in July and August in gardens within the metropolitan 

 district, not uncommon.

Anterior wings ashy-white, with darker or lead-coloured clouds, the base with 

 a truncate brownish-black fascia; towards the tip of the inner margin is an 

 irregular black or pitchy spot, placed transversely ; the costal apex of the 

 hinder margin is pitchy-red, this tint extending over the cilia of that part : 

 costa with numerous short black or pitchy lines placed obliquely: posterior 

 wings ashy-brown ; palpi brown. 



Caterpillar feeds on the rose : the imago appears towards the end of June in 

 gardens. 



Less abundant than the last species, but nevertheless not uncom- 

 mon throughout the metropolitan district.
