3G2 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA, 



Sp. 20. Seppella. Alis anticis auratis, sirigis duabus, rectis, argenteis. (Exp. 



Alar. 3— 3i lin.) 

 Ti, Seppella. Fahricius. — La. Seppella. Steph. Catal. ii. 227. No. 7581. 

 Anterior wings shining gold, with two straight silvery streaks, one before, the 



other a little behind the middle : posterior wings shining gold : head 



black. 



Also found in June at Darenth wood, not uncommonly. 



Sp. 21. ammanella. Plate 41./. 2. — Alis aidicis purpurascentibus, fasciis 

 duabus, maculdque posticd aurtis. (Exp. Alar. 4 — 5 lin.) 



Ti. ammanella. Hiibner.—'La. amoenella. Steph. Catal. ii. 227. No. 7582. 



Anterior wings rich purple-brown, with a faint violet gloss ; with two rather 

 broad golden streaks, one straight, near the base, the other, a little curved, 

 nearly in the middle, and midway between the last and the hinder margin is 

 an ovate spot of similar hue ; cilia obscure fuscous : posterior whigs 

 and cilia dull brown. 



This appears to be a rare, or at least a very local species ; I have 

 taken it in a fir plantation near Hertford, and at Colney Hatch, in 

 May : it also occurs in the New Forest, and near Darenth wood. 



Sp. 22. bistrigella. Alis anticis sordide aureis, strigis duabus aliquantulum 



curvatis argenteis, posiicisfuscis. (Exp. Alar. 3 lin.) 

 Ti. bistrigella. Haworih.—La. bistrigella. Steph. Catal. ii. 227. N'o. 7583. 

 Anterior wings dull gold, with two very slightly bent distinct silvery streaks, 



one towards the base, the other rather beyond the middle : posterior wings 



leaden-brown, without any golden tinge. 



A very rare little insect, of which I remember to have seen but 

 three examples, all of which were taken in June, at Darenth wood.
