The following are our British species : 



1. P. corticana Hiih. Tort. jpl. ?>. f. 13, ?. — capreana Hub. 



■pi. 40./. 250 S • 

 I find it common in the chinks of the bark of Birch-trees in 

 the open parts of Coomb-wood the middle of June ; and it is 

 found also the end of May and September.

 the beginning of June in hedges.

 5». Grevillana C?{rt. Brit. Ent. pi. 561, S. 



This formed another of the novelties captured in July in 

 Sutherlandshire by Dr. R. K. Greville and Mr. James Wilson, 

 to whom I am indebted for my specimen ; and I have the gra- 

 tification of dedicating it to the former gentleman, who is no 

 less eminendy distinguished for his works on the Cryptoga- 

 miiE than he is for his taste and acquirements in the arts and 

 sciences. 



P. Grevillana is distinguished from its congeners by the nar- 

 rower wings, which rnse it a more elongated form: and the 

 cilia ot the upper wmgs are not so black in any of the other 

 species.

 cially S. caprea and viminalis. 



For specimens of the rare Veronica triphyllos (Fingered 

 Speedwell) represented in this plate, as well as for those in 

 the next (pi. 568), I am indebted to Lady Blake, who gathered 

 them last May in sandy fields above West Stow Heath near 

 Bury ; and I afterwards met with them near Thetford, where 

 the former was abundant in a field of Saint Foin, and the latter 

 on the Warr«n.
