Ge. pallidaria. Wien. Verz. — Ac. pallidaria. Steph. Nomcn. 2J edit. 

 Anterior wings pale yellowish, with four brownish-yellow streaks, posterior 



with three ; all with a minute central brown dot. 

 Very closely allied to, if not a variety of, Ac. fumata, to which insect I have 



referred it with a note of doubt in my Catalogue. It has been found in 



Kent and in Devonshire.

Page 17. Paracolax tarsicrinalis. I forgot to draw attention to the singvdar 

 antennte of the male of this insect, which have the middle incrassated, and 

 forming a process within — a fact which has escaped the notice of Mr. 

 Curtis, who published on this group last month ; and in his remarks upon 

 Pyralis, he makes no mention of the occasional want of tarsi in the males of 

 some of the species ; and he likewise omits to notice that I had corrected 

 the reference (given in my Catalogue, No. 6762), to Ph. Ge. barbalis to Ph. 

 Py. barbalis, in p. 15 of this vol.

Wings deep lead colour at the base, the middle with a broad pale distinct 

 fascia, edged on both sides with white, the apex pale lead colour, with a 

 few blackish dots towards the hinder margin : posterior wings similar, but 

 with the central fascia narrower and more waved. 



Found near Poplar in July in a house.

 fasciisque Jttsco-inauratis, posticis fascia marginali e punctis violaceo atris 

 medio argenieis." — Treitschke, v. viii. ^. 140. 



Wings pearly-white, anterior with golden-brown atoms and fascise, posterior 

 with a marginal fascia composed of deep violet dots, with a silvery centre. 

 Treitschke says, " Das vaterland dieses schonen zunslers, ron welchem es 

 night entschieden ist, ob er wirklich Europa zugehore, soil England seyn," 

 which 1 believe implies that he is uncertain whether it be European, but if 

 so, that it is supposed to have been received from England. 



It is the Py. magnificalis, Hiibner, Py. pU 16./. 104, and I am of opinion it 

 has never been found in Britain.
