3. lineolata Wien. Verz. — Wood^f.QlB. 



Cinereous, superior wings with the hase dark, a hrown fascia inclosing 



a black clot and 2 strigge often uniting under it ; 3 pale strigse towards 



the posterior mai-gin, with a brown streak at the apex; inferior wings 



with 3 or more pale strigse : 10 lines. It varies much in colour; the 



female is sometimes very dark. 



From the middle of May to the middle of August, Denes, 



Yarmouth, Norfolk, Mr. C. J. Paget ; Covehithe, Suffolk : 



Devil's Ditch, Newmarket Heath; Lewes, Brighton, and 



Devon. The larva feeds on Galium verum (pi. 317). 



4. virgata Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 623. ? . 



Ash-colour, freckled with brown ; superior wings acute, with 6 oblique 

 pale strigjB on each, the 2nd and 5th forming a fascia, brown on the in- 

 side, inclosing the 3rd and 4th strigse, the former terminating in a black 

 dot on the disc, 5th and 6th strigje united, at the apex is an oblique 

 black streak : inferior wings pale at the base, with a pale double band 

 across the middle, and 2 or 3 beyond it ; margins of wings with a broken 

 dark-brown streak ; cilia pale, darker at the base ; underside reddish 

 brown: 10 lines. 

 This may be only a variety of No. 3, but both my speci- 

 mens, which were taken in Norfolk, differ from it in having 

 the fascia broader and nearly of equal breadth, the 3rd striga 

 is terminated by the spot, and the -ith and 5th are incurved at 

 the costa, not straight. 



5. lignata Hiib. — lineataria Dofi. v. 14. pi. 485.y^ 1. 2. 

 Antennae very pilose : pale ochreous : wings with many brown lines, 

 superior with a narrow brown fascia, and a stripe of the same from the 

 apex to the inner margin : 12 lines. 



Middle of August, marshy places, Cambridge, Battersea 

 Fields, New Forest, and Langport. 



6. polygrammata Hiib. Geom. pi. 54. j^ 277. — cognata Step. 

 Dull ochreous ; wings with numerous dark and pale lines ; superior

 it, forming a fascia; posterior margin brown, with a pale streak at the 

 apex ; inferior with 3 or 4 straight bands, a crenated dark line and a pale 

 one : 13 lines. 



My specimen came, I believe, from Cambridgeshire, and I 

 think I once took it at Horninjj in Norfolk.
