250 HAUSTKLT.ATA. LEl'IDOPTERA. 



Anterior wings of an ochrey-testaceous, immaculate, with a white stripe on the 

 inner margin, faintly interrupted in the middle by an obscure ochreous 

 fascia: posterior wings fuscescent. 



Found near London and in the New Forest ; also in Devonshire, 

 in June.

Anterior wings slight shining, snowy white, with a few scattered fuscous 

 dots, and in the middle a brownish crescent; the apex or hinder margin 

 also brownish: posterior wings and cilia shining lead-coloured-brown, the 

 latter very deep. 



Kather variable, some examples having the lunule on the anterior wings not 

 extending to the costa, while in others it completely reaches that part, or is 

 occasionally a little extended along the costa, anteriorly and posteriorly ; 

 some specimens have one or two triangular fuscous dots on the extreme 

 edge of the inner marghi towards the base. 



Not uncommon in gardens and in marshy places where willows 

 abound throughout the metropolitan district, in June and July.

 Anterior wings snow-white, or cream colour, shining, with a black streak at 



the base of the costa, an oblique black fascia in the middle, angulated 



exteriorly, the angle very prominent, and on the apex of the costa a more or 



less distinct black dot : posterior wings and cilia ash-colour : thorax snowy : 



head fuscous. 

 Rather variable : in some examples the posterior black dot is wanting: others 



have some fuscous or blackish clouds and dots on the hinder margin ; and 



some have the wings a little clouded with yellowish. 



Somewhat rare, being apparently very local : I have, however, 

 frequently taken it at Darenth wood, and also at liipley, in the 

 beginning of July.
