110 HAUSTELLATA — LEPIDOPTERA. 



Sp. 1. obtusana. Alls anticis ohtusis rujis, fascia irregulari cinerea albido 

 cinctd, a basi costoe fiexuosim ad angulum ani. (Exp. Alar.-5§ lin.) 



To. obtusana. Haworth. — An. obtusana. Steph. Catal. ii. 177. No. 6952. 



Anterior wings obtuse dull red^ the costa entirely streaked with minute 

 oblique white and red lines, the apex with a red dot, encircled with white : 

 from near the middle of the costa an irregular ashy fascia arises, which 

 extends in a flexuous direction to the anal angle, giving off a twig towards 

 the middle of the inner margin, and a wave towards the hinder one ; it is 

 faintly bordered with a whitish line : posterior wings brown. 



Apparently rare : it occurs at Darenth and Coombe woods, in the 

 beginning of June. 



Sp. 2. imculana. AUs anticis caudatis cinereis, macula magni basi comrnuni 

 ustulata, alteraque postica costoe rujis. (Exp. Alar. 7 — 7§ lin.) 



To. unculana. Haworth. — An. unculana. Steph. Catal. ii. 177. No. 6953. 



Anterior wings caudate ashy, with a large ustulated red ovate common blotch 

 at the base of the iiiiier margin, and a triangular one of a paler hue on the 

 apical half of the costa, leaving a flexuous ashy band between, which is 

 faintly bordered with whitish ; the ashy portion of the costa is faintly 

 marked with short dusky lines, and the apex with three or four extremely 

 obscure and oblique palish ones, and two more distinct parallel ones, con- 

 verging to the hinder margin, and having an angular red space at the apex : 

 posterior wings dusky-brown. 



Also a not very common species ; found in the woods near London, 

 especially Birch and Darenth. 



Sp. 3. Lundana. AUs anticis caudatis paUidis postice fulvis striga angulata 

 av7'atd, maculaque magna comrnuni basi ustidato-castanea. (Exp. Alar. 

 6—7 lin.) 



Py. Lundana. Fabricius. — Donovan, xi. pi. 374./. 1 ? — An. Lundana. Steph. 

 Catal. ii. 177. N'o. 6954. 



Head, palpi, sides of the thorax and costal base of the wing pale ochreous, 

 which colour extends towards the anal angle in a flexuous streak, which 

 vanishes towards the anal angle in the ground colour of the apex of the 

 wing, which is pale tawny ; at the base on the inner margin is a large sub- 

 triangular common ustulated chestnut blotch, and in the middle of the costa 

 arises a pale golden streak very obliquely placed, so as almost to become 

 parallel with the costa ; it is bent at a rather acute angle near the apex, and 

 extends from thence to the inner edge of the wing, near the anal angle : 

 beyond this line on the costa are some very short silvery streaks : the 

 extreme hinder margin is pale, and the cilia the same, except at the costa, 

 where they are fulvous: posterior wings brown.
