upon a yellowish, red, or tawny-brown ground; the hinder margin is

Anterior wings dusky-gold colour, with a broad central fascia, two spots and 

 some marginal dots of a pearly- white or silvery hue: posterior wings ash- 

 coloured. 



Haworth states that he has seen a single example of this fine 

 insect, of which I believe a pair were taken near Tunbridge AVells 

 in July 1831.

 interruptis aurantio-aureis, posticis fuse is. (Exp. Alar. 7 lin.)

 iVo. 7141. 



Anterior wings of a very glossy pearly-silver, with the base, a costal spot at 

 the base, and two oblique fascia, one before, the other behind, the middle, 

 more or less interrupted, of an orange-gold ; and a third, nearly entire, on 

 the hinder margin, behind a costal dot of similar hue : posterior wings dark 

 fuscous. 



A very rare and beautiful species, of which I possess the original 

 pair from the late Mr. Haworth"'s collection ; I believe they were 

 taken in Kent. 



B. Anterior wings rounded on the hinder margin, the disc with straight 

 transverse fasciae and interrupted streaks of silvery dots : —

Anterior wings bright yellow, with an orange tinge, with a broad straight 

 dusky-black fascia in the middle, faintly sprinkled with silvery dots, and on 

 the hinder margin a similar one, also spotted with silver ; the costa with a 

 few dusky-black spots ; cilia yellow : posterior wings black. 



The ground colour of the anterior wings is sometimes of a dusky-yellow. 



A very rare species, which has been taken occasionally in Epping 

 Forest, in June, whence my specimens were obtained.
