The following are British species. 



1. A. obtusana Ha>w. 453. 189. 

 Inhabits woods near London. 



2. A. consobrinana Curt. Guide, No. 2. 



A little larger than No. 1, but very similar to it, and may 

 be only the female: the superior wings are narrower, and the 

 silvery line across the middle is more arcuated and oblique. 

 I took a specimen in Coombe Wood. 



3. A. unculana Haxo. 453. 188. — derasana iiZMZ*. Tort. 32. 206. 

 In woods near London. 



4. A. Lundana Fab. — Don. 11. 374. 1.— Corylanai^M^. 9. 53. 

 Middle of May, Coombe Wood and near Kimpton. — J. C. 



5. A. Lyellana Qirt. Guide, No. 5. 



As large as No. 6, satiny, pale cinereous; collar and apex 

 of the abdomen ochreous : superior wings slightly variegated 

 with pale ochre; on the costa are an oblique macula at the 

 middle, 3 dots beyond and a spot at the apex, dull ferruginous; 

 on the interior margin is the usual large patch of a deep brown 

 and subtrigonate ; nearer the anal angle a brown crescent 

 (bearing 5 black lines and dots) which leaves a grey oval ma- 

 cula at the anal angle. 



I have the pleasure of naming this very distinct species after 

 my friend Charles Lyell, Esq., who transmitted it to me from 

 Kinnordy in Scotland.

 This probably may be the same as the last.
