208 HADSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



one before, the other behind the middle, an oblique black streak at the base, 

 on an obscure rusty blotch ; on the first fascia are two small elongated black 

 spots, and a single larger one on the other; and on the hinder angle of the 

 posterior margin is a large ovate blackish spot ; cilia fuscous, with black 

 spots at the base : posterior wings pale fuscous. 

 Rather variable in colours, the markings being sometimes very indistinct, and 

 the colour more or less intense. 



Found, but not very commonly, in June and July, in various parts 

 of the north of England and in Scotland. I am indebted to 

 G. Wailes, Esq. for a specimen, which was taken near Newcastle.

 tinctis cinereis, antennis albo-annulatis. (Exp. Alar. 6 lin.)

Anterior wings deep fuscous, with the tippets and three indistinct equidistant 

 fasciae pale ash-colour, the central one with a few whitish spots, and the 

 intermediate spaces slightly clouded with black; towards the hinder margin 

 near the anterior angle are three black dots placed obliquely ; cilia deep 

 fuscous, immaculate : posterior wings pale fuscous, with long cilia. 



I have a single specimen of this insect, which was taken in the 

 Isle of Wight by Mr. Weaver in June. 



Sp. 14. dodecella. Alis anticis pallide ochraceo-rufesceniibus, punctulis nigris 

 discoidalihus, longitudinaliter per paria positis. (Exp. Alar. 5§ — 7 lin.)

Anterior wings pale ochreous-red, with three pair of minute, but conspicuous, 

 black dots, disposed longitudinally on the disc in pairs; the costa and 

 hinder margin obscurely dotted with fuscous. 



Sometimes the outer basal spot on the anterior wings is obliterated, and the 

 hinder margin and costa are immaculate. 



The only locality I know for this very distinct species is Coombe 

 wood, where I once took a pair in the beginning of June.

No. 7193. 

 Hoary ; anterior wings with some very short deep black streaks, composed of 



elongated dots at the base and extreme edge of the costa, a few scattered 



ones of a larger size on the disc, somewhat disposed in pairs ; and a row on 



the hinder margin. 

 The black streaks at the base, and dots on the hinder margin, are sometimes 



very faint, or entirely wanting.
