HAUSTKLLATA. J>EPlI)Oi*TKRA. 



To. splendana. Hubner.—Se. splendana. Steph. Catal. ii. 179. No. 6972. 



Anterior wings ashy^ clouded with griseous, and with darker angulated 

 streaks, forming a fascia at the base, the extreme hinder margin is fuscous, 

 and bears a large subocellar spot, of which the sides are violet, with a 

 slightly golden gloss, and within are two or three black streaks ; the costa 

 is obliquely streaked with pale lines, and the cilia are brown : posterior 

 wings brown, with a black line on the hinder margin. 

 A rare species ; I believe it has hitherto occurred only in one or 



two locahties within the metropolitan district, Epping Forest and 



Darenth wood, in June. 



Sp. 3. grossana. Alis anticis J'uliginoso-cinereis, frscid media ohliqu^i cinereo- 

 albidci, ante lituram obscuram atram anguli ani. (Exp. Alar. 7 — 9 lin.) 



To. grossana. Haworth. — Se. grossana. Steph. Catal. ii. 179. No. 6973. 



Anterior wings smoky-ash, with numerous darker angulated transverse 

 streaks, an oblique ashy-white fascia in the middle, and an obscure black 

 patch on the anal angle, having some transverse darker lines, and edged 

 exteriorly with cinereous : posterior wings fuscous. 

 Also a scarce insect ; found at Birch wood, in June, and also in 



the New Forest. 



Sp. 4. aspidiscana. Alis anticis fusco-ferrugineis, fasci& media ohsoleta cinered 

 strigxdisQue argenteis costalibus, specula argent eo, lineis tribus nigris. (Exp. 

 Alar. 6^ lin.) 



To. aspidiscana. Hvbner, To.pl. 41./. 256. 



Anterior wings rusty-brown, with an obscure ashy fascia in the middle; the 

 costa with four pair of short oblique silvery streaks ; near the anal angle is 

 a subocellar spot with a silvery edge, and three black transverse streaks : 

 posterior wings brownish-grey, with paler cilia. 

 Found, but very rarely, within the metropolitan district : it has 



also occurred in the north of England. 



B. Anterior wings narrow, with irregular pale markings on a darker ground ; 

 ocellus indistinct: — Enarmonia, Hubner. 



Sp. 5. Weberana. Alis anticis frtscis, fuho variegatis, strigis liturisque argenteis, 

 macula posticd svbcellari aurea, tiigro striata. (Exp. Alar. 6§ — 8 lin.) 



Py. Weberana. Fabricius. — Se. Weberaffa. Steph. Catal. ii. 179. No. 6974. 



Anterior wings fuscous, very prettily varied and streaked, the costa with 

 oblique golden, silvery and fulvous lines, and the disc with luteous : nearly 

 at the anal angle is a circle of the last colour, in which is a shining subocel- 

 lated golden spot, the ground of which is so broadly streaked with transverse 

 black lines as to leave only three slender luteous streaks : cilia varied with 

 luteous and black : posterior wings black or deep pitchy. 

 Not an uncommon insect, in apple orchards and in the borders of
