192 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



of the costa are also slightly ferruginous; posterior wings fuscous, with 

 whitish cilia. 

 Rather variable in colour, and in the intensity of the posterior streak on the 

 anterior wings. 



Not uncommon in August in grassy places, where galium abounds, 

 within the metropolitan district : found also in other parts of the 

 country, as in the New Forest, Devonshire, &c. " Meldon Park." —

Sp. 4. diversana. Alls anticis sulphvreo-Jlavis, striga inierruptd media, cruceque 

 communi posiicdferrugineis. (Exp. Alar. 8 — ll^lin.) 



To. diversana. Hiibner. — Xa. diversana. Steph. Catal. ii. 192. A^o. 7151. 



Anterior wings pale sulphur-yellow, with the costa at the base, a spot in the 

 middle, and an angulated bow towards the apex, ferruginous; from the centre 

 of the costa a more or less distinct and interrupted streak arises, which reaches 

 to the inner margin, and occasionally there are some rusty spots towards the 

 apex and on the disc : posterior wings fuscous, with ashy cilia. 



Extremely variable both in size and colour, the latter being of various tints of 

 yellow, with more or less distinct ferruginous spots and streaks; and I pos- 

 sess a specimen with the costa and hinder margin deep black. 



Found in various places within the metropolitan district, about the 

 beginning of August, far from uncommonly : it occurs in plenty at 

 Ripley, and I have taken a few specimens at the Hermitage. 



Sp. 5. inopiana. Alis anticis lucidis ochraceo-rufescentibus, immaculatis, posticis 



rufo-fuscescentibus. (Exp. Alar. 9 — 10 lin.) 

 To. inopiana. Haworth. — Xa. inopiana. Steph. Catal. i\. 192. No. 7 15'2. 



Anterior wings very glossy ochreous-red or reddish, immaculate, with a faintly 

 raised spot towards the apex, the hinder margin rounded : posterior wings 

 glossy and reddish-brown : cilia obscure shining ochreous. 



Very rare : I have obtained a single example from the New Forest, 

 where it was found in June, and in the beginning of July 1827 I 

 took a second near Ripley.
