Anterior wings in the male brown or pitchy, with two darker, or rusty, bian- 

 gulated transverse streaks towards the apex, and three black dots towards 

 the hinder angle on the hinder margin; cilia glossy: posterior wings dull 

 a»h-colour ; body fuscous : feviale with the anterior wings hoary-white, 

 with two transverse whiter biangulated lines towards the hinder margin, 

 edged externally with brownish ; cilia coppery : posterior wings ashy- 

 brown, with fuscous cilia: body hoary. 



Very rare : it lias been taken in the vicinity of Darentli wood in 

 July, and in Devonshire. 



Sp. 19. pygmsEUS. AUs anticis subretusis albidis, strigis tribus angulatis 

 brunneis albido adnatis j posticis cinereo-fuscis. (Exp. Alar. &^ — 6 lin.) 



Pa. pygmsea. Hawo7-th MSS. — Cr. pygmjeus. Steph. Ca/a/. ii. 219. A^o. 7479. 



Anterior wings whitish, or white, with an ochreous tinge, with three angulated 

 transverse brown streaks towards the hinder margin, edged interiorly with 

 whitish ; on the hinder margin, near the anal angle, are three or four minute 

 black dots ; cilia pale shining gold at the apex, with a brown line at the 

 base. 



Apparently very local : taken in great abundance in July 1826 in 

 the Isle of Wight, the only locality I am aware of for this species, 

 which greatly resembles the female of the preceding 



Sp. 20. radiellus. Alis anticis fusco-olivaceis fasci t loiigitudinali versus apicem 

 interne serrata argentea ; posticis fusco-cinereis, ant albidis. (Exp. Alar. 

 9 — lOilin.) 



Ti. radiella. Hiibner. — Cr. radiella. Curtis, v. iii. /;/. 109. — Steph. Catal. ii. 

 219. No. 7480. — EuCARPHiA, Hiibner. 



Anterior wings olive-brown, of variable tint, with a slender silvery- white 

 longitudinal streak reaching nearly to the hinder margin, acute at the apex, 

 dilated beyond the middle, and throwing off a few serratu res from thence to 

 the hinder margin ; cilia fuscous, with the tip white : posterior wings ashy- 

 brown, with pale cilia: female of a paler hue, anterior wings with the 

 longitudinal streak broader ; the cilia entirely white : posterior wings ashy, 

 radiated with whitish; cilia satiny-white. 



Found, I believe, only in the north of England, on the mountains 

 of Cumberland, &c. in July, where it appears to occur in profusion : 

 I am indebted to Mr. Marshall for a fine series of varieties.
