Anterior wings silvery-white^ with an oblique straight golden fascia at the 

 base, widened a little on the costa, and resembling the letter /; behind 

 this is an angulated fascia resembling the letter W, the four lines of which it 

 is composed extending from the costa to the inner margin, and having a 

 minute silvery spot near the apex: posterior wings lead-coloured, with 

 golden-brown cilia : head and thorax snow-white. 



Also far from common in the vicinity of the metropohs, occurring 

 towards the end of June at Coombe, Darenth, and Birch woods; 

 also at Hanipstead, Hertford, &c., and the New Forest. " Castle 

 Eden, Dean." — G. IVa/les, Esq.

Ti. literella. Haworth.—Ar. literella. Steph. Catal. ii. 205. A'o. 7298. 



Anterior wings silvery, with a golden tinge, with three equidistant golden 

 abbreviated fascise resembling Greek letters ; the first near the base like an 

 I, the second in the middle like an inverted X, and the third on the posterior 

 angle representing an Q ; cilia golden-brown : posterior wings lead- 

 coloured, with golden-brown cilia : head and thorax fulvescent. 



Slightly variable: in some examples the golden fasciae are rather more distinct 

 and stouter than in others. 



This appears to be a rare species : I possess three fine varieties, 

 two of them Haworth''s original specimens, which were captured at 

 Coombe wood : I had previously taken the insect at Darenth in 

 June.

Ti. aurivittelia. Haworth. — Ar. aurivittelia. Steph. Catal. ii. 205. No. 7299. 



Anterior wings very glossy silver, with a broad very much waved red-gold 

 streak, extending from the base of the costa to the hinder margin, and nearly 

 occupying the entire disc, having a small round silvery dot at the anterior 

 angle of the apex : posterior wings lead-coloured ; cilia golden-brown. 



Also apparently very rare : in addition to my own, I have 

 Haworth's specimens, which were taken at Darenth wood in June. 



Sp. 6. aurifasciella. Alis anticis argenteis nitidissimis, vittd lata irregulari 

 interruptd cupreo-aured lucidd. (Exp. Alar. 5^ lin.)
