Anterior wina? brownish, with two very indistinct, slightlT waved, yellowish 

 streaks m the middle, and two or three very short ones at the apex of the 

 costa, vanishing on the disc; from the middle of the hinder margin to 

 the hinder angle is another streak, composed of about sis united ocelli, 

 having deep black pup Us, with a snowy- white iris anteriorly, and golden 

 posteriorly; cilia cinereous: posterior wings fuscous, with darker margins, 

 and white (not bUuk, as Haworth accidentally writes) cUia. 



The only example of this remarkable and very distinct insect which 

 I have seen is the one described by Haworth, and now hi my col- 

 lection ; it was taken in the vicinity of the metropolis several years 

 since by Mr. Knight.

Anterior wings dull fiiscous, with two very indistinct purplish-brown 

 transverse streaks, one very straight, a little before the middle, the other 

 between the first and the hinder margin, and a little flexuous towards the 

 costa : posterior wings rather paler ; cUia whitish. 



Extremely variable in size, and sL'ghtly so in tint and markings, the transverse 

 fascisE being more distinct in some examples than others. 



Not very uncommon at Darenth wood in June, apparently fre- 

 quenting chalky districts : it has occurred at Hertford, and in other 

 parts, but less fi^uently than at Darenth.

 lone, stout, porrected in front in form of a beak, densely clothed to the apex 

 with long scales, which conceal their form, and project beyond the terminal 

 joint, which is obtuse : maxiUs shortish. AntenntE short, stout, in the males 

 slightly pectinated within : head moderate, with a tuft of erect scales in 

 front : eyet large, globose : thoraz stoutish : icings convoluted ? during
