To. costipunctana. Haworth. — Sp. costipunctana. Steph. Catal. ii. 174. 

 No. 6910. 



Anterior wings varied with ash-colour and white, with the costa posteriorly 

 white spotted with about seven black elongate dots, rather approximating 

 and not placed in pairs : in the middle of the inner margin is a nearly trian- 

 gular white patch, from the discal side of which an oblique ashy fascia ex- 

 tends to the anal angle : posterior wings ashy-brown. 



Rare : found occasionally in July near London, and in Norfolk, 

 and I possess a specimen which was found near Edinburgh. 



Sp. 13. argyrana. Alls anticis nigris,fasciis duabus strigiilisque nvmerosioribus 

 undulafis obsolete argenteis, maculaque media albido-cinered oblongd marginis 

 tenuioris. (Exp. Alar. 9§ lin.) 



Sp. argyrana. Sicph. Nomen. '2d edit. 



Anterior wings black, rather thickly streaked with obscure waved silvery 

 lines, a distinct broad band of the same in the middle, palest on the inner 

 margin, where it forms a narrow oblong patch ; behind this, near the apex, 

 is an oblique, irregidar, silvery-ash band, and some clouds of the same hue 

 on the hinder margin ; towards the tip of the costa are four pair of short 

 silvery white lines, placed obliquely; cilia fuscous: posterior wings dark- 

 brown ; cilia the same. 



Of this pretty and remarkable species, I possess a fine pair from 

 the Highlands of Scotland ; they were taken in August. 



Sp. 14. quadrana. Alis anticis nigris, fulvo nchulosis, inaculd media quadrata 

 ochraced marginis tenuioris; posticis atris ciliis ochraceis. (Exp. Alar. 

 10 lin.) 



Sp. quadrana. Steph. Nomen. 2d edit. 



Anterior wings black, with fulvous clouds, most distinct towards the apex, 

 with two pair of obsolete ochraceous lines towards the tip of the costa ; a 

 quadrate ochraceous spot in the middle of the inner margin : towards the 

 apex of the hinder margin is a curved row composed of about seven black 

 dots : cilia mixed black and fulvous : posterior wings black, with ochraceous 

 cilia. 



I have also a specimen of this species, which is very distinct from 

 any of the foregoing, from Scotland : it was found in July.
