Anterior wings bright snowy-silver, with about seven oblique fuscous streaks 

 at the apex, forming a radiating figure, of which the anterior four have a 

 gold stripe adjoining, and towards the anal angle is an elevated convex 

 golden dot, appearing in certain lights to have a black spot on one side : 

 posterior wings, head, thorax, and abdomen, bright silver. 



An extremely abundant species at Coombe wood, at the end of May 

 and beginning of June, frequenting the •' JJroom-field" of that 

 formerly celebrated collecting locality, but now very much dete- 

 riorated, from the number of fine old trees which have been hewn 

 down within these twenty years.

 at Darenth wood ; also at Colney Hatch, and near Westerham, and 

 in Yorkshire.
