To. coronana. Thunberg. — Pe. coronana. Steph. Catal. ii. 186. No. 7068. 



Anterior wings fuscous-brown, with an irregularly twisted white or snowy 

 fascia at the base, extending to another on the anal angle, by an obscure 

 pale streak ; posterior wings whitish : head, palpi, and thorax fuscous. 



Slightly variable : in some examples there is a tendency to a whitish streak on 

 the inner margin ; in others the basal fascia is very obscure, or extremely 

 distinct. 



This beautiful species has occurred near Coombe wood in October, 

 but more frequently, earlier in the season, in tlie New Forest.

Anterior wings fuscous-brown, with an oblique ashy-white fascia at the base, 

 dilated within and united by a broad patch to an arched mark near the 

 hinder margin, also ashy-white : posterior wings ashy-brown. 



Rather variable in tint; some examples having the ground colour of the 

 anterior wings of a deeper hue than others, with the pale markings varying 

 much in tint : all have one or two patches of dark elevated scales in the 

 middle. 



Taken occasionally near Birch wood in September, but in pro- 

 fusion, during the autumn, in the New Forest. " Loch.'''' —
