Anterior wings deep black on the costa, with obsolete darker clouds, the inner 

 margin irregularly cinereous : posterior wings ashy-brown, with pale lead- 

 coloured cilia. 



Some examples are of a paler, others of a darker, hue, with the colours more 

 contrasted. 



Not very uncommon in the vicinity of the metropolis in June, 

 frequenting woody places; it also occurs in the New Forest.

Anterior wings hoary-ash, with some obscure brownish streaks on the inner 

 margin, one extending nearly to the middle, a second on the extreme hinder 

 angle, with a roundish spot of the same hue between; towards the apex of 

 the costa is also another streak placed obliquely ; on the hinder margin, at 

 the anterior angle, is an imperfect ocellated spot having a black pupil, a 

 whitish inner and a black outer iris : posterior wings ashy-brown, cilia 

 darker. 



I possess a series of this, apparently rare, species that was taken in 

 the New Forest in June 1821.

Anterior wings whitish, or hoary, slightly irrorated or clouded with fuscous, 

 with a short oblique dark fascia about the middle, extending nearly from the 

 costa to the inner margin, and inclining anteriorly ; opposite to this, on the 

 costa, is a largish fuscous cloud, and a dot of the same towards the hinder 

 angle, on the inner margin ; posterior wings ashy. 



Slightly variable, some examples being more clouded than others, with a faint 

 inclination to a second oblique streak. 



Not uncommon ; found at Darenth and Coombe woods in June, 

 and occasionally in gardens within the metropolitan district.
