waves throughout ; on the hinder margin near the anal angle is a distinct 

 brown spot, followed on the anal angle by an ashy cloud : near the apex of 

 the costa are two or three faint whitish streaks,, and on the extreme hinder 

 margin is a slender brown line : cilia brown at the tip, ashy near the anal 

 angle: posterior wings brownish, with the apex dusky; cilia ashy-brown. 



Rare ; found in June at Darenth and Coombe, on the margin of the

To. angulana. Haworth. — St. angulana. Steph. Catal. ii. 177. No. 6943. 



Anterior wings reddish-griseous, with numerous very fine angulated brownish 

 streaks, a slightly waved brownish basal fascia, an obscure oblique band 

 towards the apex, in which is placed a minute brown dot, near the anal 

 angle, which latter, as well as a faint blotch in the middle of the inner 

 margin, is whitish-ash : cilia ashy, palest at the anal angle : posterior wings 

 brownish ; cilia palish. 



Rarer than the foregoing, of which I think it likely to be a variety 

 of the female, or perhaps the usual state of that sex, knowing but 

 two examples which exactly correspond with each other : it is found 

 in June at Darenth wood. 



Sp. 3. unipunctana. Alis anticis griseo-civereis nebulosis, fascia basi rhombeCi 

 punctoque postico costam versus fuscis. (Exp. Alar. 6 — 8 lin.) 



To. unipunctana. Haworth. — St. unipunctana. Steph. Catal. W. 177. No. 6941. 



Anterior wings griseous-ash, faintly clouded with fuscous, with a rhomboid 

 brown fascia at the base ; an obscure angulated palish blotch in the middle 

 of the inner margin, and a rather conspicuous brown dot towards the apex 

 near the costa ; the costa itself has a few pale streaks, and terminates in a 

 blackish dot : posterior wings linear. 



Variable in colour and size. 



Mr. Haworth says found amongst nettles in the spring: I take it in my own 

 garden at the end of June, on the elm and elder, though not commonly. 



Taken occasionally in the vicinity of London in June, and in the 

 New Forest, by Mr. Bentley.
