interrupted, arising on the costa, near the apex, and terminating in the 



middle of the hinder margin. 



Taken near Ripley in June 1827. 



Sp. 9. rectifasciana. Alls anticis ochraceo-alhis, cinereo nehuhsis, Jasciis tribus 

 rectis testaceo-fuscis nigro proepundatis ; posticis fascis. (Exp. Alar. 6 — 

 7 lin.) 



To. rectifasciana. Hmvorth. — Cn. rectifasciana. Steph. Catal. ii. 181. No. 7001. 



Anterior wings ochreous-white, with a broad straight testaceous-brown fascia 

 at the base, a second entire, or faintly sinuated one, in the middle, a third 

 abbreviated one at the tip of the costa, reaching to the middle of the hinder 

 margin : on the anal angle is a small spot of similar colour, and two minute 

 ones on the costa ; and all the fasciae are minutely spotted with black : 

 posterior wings pale brown. 

 Not uncommon at Darenth and Coombe woods, especially the 



former, in June ; taken also in Devonshire, the New Forest, &c. 



Sp. 10. curvifasciana. Alis anticis cinereo-alhis fusco functatisyfasciis tribus 

 arcuatis cmereo-tesiaceis,J'usco punctatis. (Exp. Alar. 7 — 8 lin.) 



Cn. curvifasciana (nee aurifasciana). Steph. Catal. ii. 181. No. 7002. 



Anterior wings ashy-white, rather thickly, but minutely sprinkled with brown 

 dots, with a broad angulated or curved ashy-testaceous fascia at the base, 

 a second narrow curved one in the middle, widest on the costa, and a third, 

 also bent, near the hinder margin, which it does not reach : adjoinin' to 

 this on the inner margin is a large triangular spot, and on the costa two 

 minute ones, as in the preceding insect : posterior wings ashy-brown. 



The third fascia on the anterior wings is sometimes entirely wanting. 



Less abundant than the preceding: it occurs at Darenth and 



Birch woods, and near Dover, in June. 



Sp. 11. nubilana. Alis anticis nigro-cinereis, fascia strigisque saturatioribvs, 



posticis atris. (Exp. Alar. 6 — 7§ lin.) 

 To. nubilana. H'ub7ier.—'N. G. nubilana. Steph. Catal. ii. 181. No. 7004. 

 Anterior wings deep ashy, or dusky-brown, with numerous deeper brown, or 

 blackish streaks, more or less confluent, and a distinct oblique broad fascia 

 behind the middle, extending to the anal angle ; near the base is sometimes 

 a second fascia, but less distinct than the oblique one, and a faint cloud 

 occasionally exists towards the apex : posterior wings deep black, cilia the 

 same. 

 The wings are sometimes almost entirely suffused with fuscous, and the 

 markings become obsolete. 



Very common in meadows, pastures, and woody places ; also occa- 

 sionally taken in gardens, in June, throughout the metropolitan dis- 

 trict.
