HAUSTEM.ATA. — I.Kl'IDOPTER A. 



somewhat parallel with the hinder margin, towards the anal angle, is a row 

 of three or four very minute black dots : posterior wings brown, with whitish 

 cilia. 



This rare species is occasionally fotind within the metropolitan 

 district towards the end of August : I am not aware that it occurs in 

 other parts of the country. 



Sp. 10. trigeminana. Plate 37, /. 3. Alls anticis fiiscis nigra transverse 

 undulato-strigatis, macula humerali alba, alteraque irregulari marginis 

 tenuioris, casta. postice linealis tribus geminatis albis. (Exp. Alar. 10 lin.) 



Sp. trigeminana. Steph. Catal. ii. 174. Na. 6908. 



Anterior wings brown, rather thickly streaked transversely with irregularly- 

 waved black lines, and a little clouded with ashy-white towards the base 

 and the extreme apex of the hinder margin ; in the middle of the inner 

 margin is an irregular white blotch in which are two parallel waved 

 brownish lines; on the shoulder is a small rounded white dot, and on the 

 costa towards the apex are three pair of short white streaks placed rather 

 obliquely: on the extreme hinder margin is a fine black line: the base of 

 of the cilia is pale fuscous, the apex very dark : posterior wings deep 

 brownish-black ; cilia rather paler. 



The only specimen I have seen of this beautiful species I caught 

 at Ripley, in July 1827. 



Sp. 11. sticticana. Alis anticis airo-fuscis, suhnebulasis, medio macula angulata 

 alba, altera terminali ulbido-cinered marginis tenuioris, lineolisque 4-6 posticis 

 geminatis costalibus albis. (Exp. Alar. 7 — 10 lin.) 



Py. sticticana. i^aZ-r/czW.—Sp. sticticana. Steph. Catal. ii. 17 i. No. 6909. 



Anterior wings black-brown, slightly clouded, with a large irregularly qua- 

 drangular white blotch in the middle of the inner margin, in which is a black 

 dot, or sometimes two, on the margin itself: adjoining the anal angle is also 

 a second blotch of a whitish-ash, but not very conspicuous ; in this are four 

 or five deep black dots, placed transversely : on the tip of the costa are from 

 four to six short white lines, placed in pairs and rather obliquely : posterior 

 wings deep black, cilia ashy, with a dark line at the base. 



Variable in size, and slightly in markings, the geminated pale lines at the apex 

 of the costa being sometimes almost obliterated, and the ashy spot on the 

 anal angle of the anterior wings more or less suffused with the ground 

 colour of the wings so as to become inconspicuous. 



Not common; found at the end of July in the vicinity of London, 

 in hedges : I have taken it in the lanes in the neighbourhood of Oak 

 of Honour wood, Peckham, and in August last at Coombe wood.
