Anterior wings of a pale purplish brown, unclouded, with a common slightly 

 waved white streak on the inner margin, having a slender twig extending 

 from near its apex towards that of the costa : posterior wings and cilia 

 fuscous: head and thorax snow-white, with the sides ferruginous. 



Caterpillars fusiform, smooth, green, with a purple dorsal line : it feeds on the 

 Lonicera caprifolia: chrysalis yellow, inclosed in a fusiform cocoon, open at 

 each end: the imago appears in June, and reposes with the apex of its 

 wings incurved. 



Common in gardens, within the metropolitan district, about August: 

 found also in other parts of the country, as in the New Forest, De- 

 vonshire, &c. " Loch Katrine." — Rev. W. Little.

Anterior wings of a deep ashy-brown, with darker atoms, the inner margin 

 dull whitish-ash, with two or three somewhat elevated patches of black 

 scales: posterior wings and cilia ashy-grey, with a metallic gloss. 



Not found, 1 believe, within the raetropoUtan district, but appa- 

 rently not uncommon in the New Forest, whence I have received 

 numerous examples, captured there in June and July.

 punctis atris elevatis scabris. (Exp. Alar. 9 — 10 lin.)

Anterior wings pale ash-colour and duskj^, divided longitudinally, the costal 

 half being pale and striated obsoletely with fuscous, the inner half black, 

 with elevated deeper black scales, and obsolete pale stria, one of the latter 

 forming an irregular waved line : posterior wings pale brownish-grey. 



Also common in the New Forest in June and July, but apparently 

 not indigenous to the metropolitan district.
