Anterior wings with the costal portion deep fuscous, the inner margin pale 

 yellowish orange or ochreous, with a simple silvery-white longitudinal 

 streak on the disc, expanding to a broad patch towards its apex, which is 

 acute, and extends nearly to the hinder margin ; cilia golden griseous, with 

 a dark line at the base : posterior wings dull ashy-brown, with pale shining 

 ochreous cilia. 

 Very abundant, in the vicinity of Birmingham, in June, but I am 



not aware of any otlier locality.

Pa. latistria. Haworth. — Cr. latistrius. Staph. Catal. ii. 219. No. 7482. 



Anterior wings rather narrow, fuscous, with a paler tint on the inner margin, 

 the disc longitudinally divided by a broad simple entire silvery streak, a 

 little dilated beyond the middle ; cilia brown and shining, interrupted with 

 white opposite to the longitudinal streak: posterior wings fuscous, with 

 shining ochreous- white cilia. 



A local species, and rare near London : I have taken it at Darenth 

 wood in June : it occurs in Norfolk, and is apparently abundant in 

 tlie New Forest.

Anterior wings of a luteous-orange, with a long triangular silver patch at the 

 base, followed by an ovate, or subquadrate, broader one, forming an inter- 

 rupted streak, divided by a deep orange-brown line, which is carried on 

 and encircles the posterior spot; adjoining to which is a faintly angulated 

 streak, which arises on the costa ; the hinder margin is fuscous; cilia 

 metallic: posterior wings ashy- white or fuscescent; cilia whitish. 



Rather scarce : found in chalky districts, about Darenth wood 

 and Westerham in Kent ; also in Devonshire, in June.
