262 H AUSTELL AT A. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



These beautiful insects are conspicuous, amongst the small moths, 

 for their dark hues, combined with the peculiarities of their markings, 

 the anterior wings being generally fuscous, with a golden tint, and 

 marked on the tip of the costa with some short silvery lines or spots, 

 some of which extend to the inner or posterior margin, and occasionally 

 there is a conspicuous curved white mark in the middle of the inner 

 margin, forming, with the faint streak on the costa, an angulated 

 wedge-shaped mark. The species appear about the end of May, and 

 frequent grassy places. 



Sp. 1. Haworthana. Plate S9,f- 2. — Alls anticis fusco-aureis, lunula communi 

 dorsaJi strigisque quinque postice argenteis. (Exp. Alar. 5| — 7 liii.) 



He. Haworthana. Steph. Catal. ii. 207. No. 7319. 



Anterior wings of a golden-browHj with a conspicuous common silvery- white 

 lunate spot in the middle of the inner margin, and at the apex of the costa 

 are five silvery streaks, of which the two or three first are carried onwards 

 in an irregular manner to the inner margin, the others are closely approxi- 

 mating, and extend to the hinder margin, surrounding a somewhat rounded 

 blackish spot at the apex : posterior wings fuscescent. 



I with pleasure named this conspicuously beautiful insect after my 

 lamented friend Haworth, and in memory of his valuable labours, 

 which have so materially assisted me in the Lepidopterous portion of 

 this work, I continue the appellation : the only locality that I am 

 aware of for the insect is the vicinity of Birmingham, whence I have 

 obtained a fine series.

 one on the inner margin, common to both wings, and behind this five marginal

 pupil : posterior wings dusky. 



Not common : found at Darenth and Birch woods at the end of 

 May.
