 Treit. v. \\ii. p. 2.36. 



Anterior wings with the costa broadly dull ferruginous, the inner margin 

 whitish-ash, the colours separated longitudinally by a flexuous whitish line, 

 forming a double arc on the wing, one near the centre, the other towards 

 the hinder margin ; on the costa are some very oblique whitish streaks, 

 some of which are elongated to the extreme hinder margin, near the anterior 

 angle; the apex is rusty-brown; cilia ashy, brown towards the anterior 

 angle : posterior wings ashy, with a paler fringe. 



The only indigenous specimen I have seen of this beautiful and 

 distinct insect, which is closely allied to An. uncana, which it greatly 

 resembles, and not the foregoing species, to which it is referred by 

 Mr. Curtis, was taken many years since at Coombe wood by 

 Mr. Chant, 1 believe, in May.
