In many respects this group approaches very near to Electro, 

 and in others to Lobophora (fol. 81.)? but from the latter it is 

 distinguished by the absence of the lobe to the inferior wings. 



The following species are recorded as British, and are di- 

 vided into: 



* Antennee simple in both sexes. 

 5. T. Coniferata Curt. Brit. Ent. pl.5\9.S. 



As this insect neither agrees with Linnaeus's description nor 

 with Hiibner's figure of Jiaiipcrata, I have thought it advisable 

 to give it a name : whether it be the same species as that found 

 at Birch-wood, and described as the P. Jiinijperata of Linn., I 

 am not prepared to determine. 



I purchased a specimen last year of Mr. E. A. Johnson, and 

 have since received anotiier from Mr. Wailes, who took them, 

 I believe, at Castle Eden Dene. 



2. Juniperata Linn. F. S. 1269.— Hiih. Georn.pl. 51. f. 294. 



—Goda.pL20G.j:s. 



" Wings cinereous : superior with a cinereous fascia at the 

 base, a broader one in the middle, unequal, almost inter- 

 rupted at the interior margin ; a fuscous line at the apex. The 

 remainder entirely cinereous, with a fuscous line at the posterior 

 margin." Linn. 

 1. fulvata jpflZ*.— obeliscata Hiib.f.296.—Goda. 206. 6. 



Recorded as having been taken by T. C. Heysham, Esq., 



in Baron-wood, Orton. 



3. variata W. V.—Hub.f.29S.—Goda.20Q.^.l—Ent. Trans. 



tab. Q.f. 3. 



Very plentiful in July and Sept. where Fir-trees abound. 

 Whether Donovan's P. tristrigaria v. 13. pi. 461. f. 2. be in- 

 tended for this or the next species is doubtful, but I have never 

 seen black streaks in the superior wings of the following. 



* * Antennae of the male bipectinated. 



4. simulata Hilb.pl. 66./. 345. 



It is remarkable that M. Treitschke and M. Duponchel 

 take no notice of this insect. The males are readily distin- 

 guished from all the others by their antennae, which are bipec- 

 tinated, as represented at fig. S. (?, and I do not feel certain 

 that ours is Hiibner's insect. They agree in colour, it is true, 

 but his appears to be the male, with simple antennae, and the 

 fascia of our insect is differently formed : it is always triangu- 

 larly indented on the inside, and the basal spot is very much 

 angulated to correspond with it. Should they be distinct, the 

 name o{ consobrinata would not be inapplicable. 



On the 7th Sept. 1 captured several of both sexes : they 

 were flying in a fir-plantation at Durnford in Wiltshire, and 

 alighting amongst the heath that grew there. 



The Plant is Juniperus communis S (Juniper Tree).
