186 HACSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTEEA. 



The £ELscia on the anterior wings varies a little in colour, beine sometimes 

 dark rose-colour, at others red-brown. 



Rare ; found in June in the Isle of Wight, and at Darenth wood 

 and near Dover ; it also occxirs in the north of England : I have a 

 fine series from the former locality, assisted by the late Mr. Haworth"s 

 original specimens. 



Sp. 2. subroseana. Alls anticis rosea- frriseu, fascia obliqua ahbreviata brunned 

 marginis tenuicrris, posticis albidis. (Exp. Alar. 5 — 6 lin.) 



To. subroseana. Hav:<rrth. — X. G. subroseana. Stepfi. Catal. ii. J 91. iVo. 7137. 



Anterior wings pale rosj -griseous, the binder margin ashy-brown, with a 

 faint flt^h-coloured blotch ; near the middle of the inner margin is an 

 oblique very short brownish fascia: posterior wings dusky, and in the males 

 whitish. 



The anterior wings vary a little in colour, being sometimes whitish, with the 

 fiajKna rather dusky. 



A more abundant species than the last, and I beUeve taken rather 

 earlier in the season : it has occurred once or twice at Birch wood, 

 and also in the north of England. 



Sp. 3. ruficilieUa. Alls anticis rufo-jJumbeis, fascia media j/raobliquA uLbreviata 

 marginis tenuicnis, ciUisque rufis. (Exp. Alar. 6 lin.) 



To. ruficiliana. Hawcrrth. — X. G. rufociliana. Steph. Catal. ii. 191. A'c. 7138. 



Anterior wings reddish-lead-colour, with a very oblique abbreviated brighter 

 {asaa. on the inner margin a little before the middle, and a second wider 

 one, forming a kind of border, on the hinder margin ; posterior wings 

 fuscous, with paler cilia. 



Taken in June at Darenth wood, but apparently very rare: it 

 occurs more frequently, in meadows, in Yorkshire, according to 

 Haworth, whose original S7)ecimens of this s-pecies and its allies are in 

 my collection. 



Sp. i. gri.seana. Alts anticis /p^sei», fascia mediu sttJ/undulata sesquialtera 



pottic'j,fuscis. (Exp. Alar, (i lin.) 

 To. gri^eana. Haworth. — N. G. griseana. Steph. Catal. ii. 191. No. 7139. 



Anterior wings griseous, with a reddi«h-brown fascia in the middle, extending 

 from tlie cohta to the hinder margin and rather waved at its origin ; tfjwards 

 the apex of the cohta are some du.sky spots, and a faint short brownish fascia 

 parallel with the hinder margin; cilia with gome brownish freckles : pos- 

 terior wings deep fuscous. 

 Not common : I once met with a pair at Darenth wood at the end 



of .June, and others have occurred in the vicinity of London.
