YFONOMEUTID.E. — CAl.LISTO. 277 



The pretty insects contained in this genus may be known by their 

 generally uniform pale metallic splendour, rarely having any other 

 than a few marginal streaks or characters, also of a metallic hue, but 

 paler than the ground colour ; the anterior wings are rather long and 

 narrow, with the hinder margin somewhat truncate ; the palpi are 

 slender, a little divaricating, curved upwards, and acute ; the head 

 smooth, the posterior legs rather long, and fringed within with fine 

 hairs, the posterior spurs being long : — the species appear to frequent 

 heaths and commons. 



Sp. 1. guttea. Alls anticis nigris, guttis quinque marginalibus albis. (Exp.

Gra. guttea. Hairorih.—N. G. guttea. Steph. Catal. ii. 202. No. 73G5.— 

 Chkysoesthia, Hiihner. 



Anterior wings black, with three or four equidistant whitish or silvery spots 

 on the costa, and two others alternating with them on the inner margin : 

 anterior wings dusky-black : head fulvous. 



Extremely variable in the intensity of the silvery markings, which are some- 

 times produced into transverse fasciae, at others almost obliterated ; and 

 intermediate shades occur. 



This is a rare species, but occurs throughout the metropolitan 

 district, at the end of June : I have taken it at Darenth wood and 

 near Kiplcy. 



Sp. 2. Fyeslella. Alls anlicis auratis argcnico subfasciatis, angulo aiii macula 

 atra, punctis tribus argeiitcis. (Exp. Alar. 5^ lin.)

 N. G. Fyeslella. Sleph. Catal. ii.209. No. 7366 — Glyfhipteuyx, Hitbner. 



Anterior wings dull golden, with five silvery streaks behind, of which the 

 three posterior arc abbreviated, and do not reach to the inner margin; on 

 the hinder angle is a black longitudinal streak, in which are three brilliant 

 silver spots, and on the tip is a simple black dot : posterior wings imma- 

 culate ash-colour. 



Rather common in damp places where rushes aboinid, especially on 

 Wimbledon Common, and in the New Forest, in the vicinity of 

 Brockenhurst, in June. 



Sp. 3. fusco-cuprella. Alls anticis fusco-cupr eis immaculatis, posticis nigris 

 capitefulvo. (Exp. Alar. 5^ lin.)
