Anterior wings brownish, clouded with white, with a few longish black spots 

 and minute dots, the former placed together behind the middle, beyond 

 which is a waved white streak, edged interiorly with brown, and on the 

 extreme margin is a row of black dots on a white ground: posterior wings 

 and cilia fuscous. 



Variable : in some examples there is a large and conspicuous, but irregular, 

 brown blotch towards the costa before the middle, and sometimes the inner 

 margin is reddish ; again in some specimens the white streak towards the 

 hinder margin is nearly straight, and has one or two black dots on its outer 

 edge, and on the inner margin are also some black dots. 



This is likewise a rare species : it has occurred at Coombe and 

 Darenth woods in June, and in the New Forest. 



Sp. 22. Abietella. Alis aniicis nigro canoque variis, strigis duabus transversis 

 punctoque medio albidis, posticis fuscescente-albidis. (Exp. Alar. 10 — 12 lin.)

Anterior wings varied with black and hoary, the former colour forming 

 obscure and irregular transverse streaks, with a distinct whitish streak 

 before the middle, and a second flexuous one behind, edged with black 

 anteriorly, between which is an irregular dot or crescent of the same tint, 

 and on the extreme margin is an interrupted black line, sometimes divided 

 into black dots ; cilia ashy : posterior wings brownish-white, with the 

 margins darker ; cilia whitish. 

 Also rare and very local : first taken about twenty years since by 



Mr. Stone at Colney Hatch in June; since in the New Torest; and 



I have a specimen, given to me by Capt. Blomer, which was found 



by him in Devonshire. 



Sp. 23. Roborella. Alis anticis ruj'o ciiicreoque variis, strigis duabus fuscis,

Anterior wings varied with red and ash-colour, with two dark flexuous streaks, 

 one before the other, behind the middle, and geminated ; and between them 

 three or four minute approximating black dots, on a dentate whitish patch :
