18 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



on both sides^ with an angular excision on the outer edge ; the rest of the 

 wing is of an uniform colour, with a central black dot, close behind which is 

 a transverse undulated dusky striga, and a little beyond another flexuous one, 

 composed of black lunules pointing outwards, and terminated at the apex by 

 an abbreviated cinereous fascia ; the hinder margin with a row of small black 

 spots : posterior wings cinereous, with a central dot, and minute marginal 

 spots dusky, the nervures fuscescent : thorax anteriorly cinereous. 



Distinguished by the posterior undulated striga of arched lines, and the integrity 

 of the external margin of the fascia on the anterior wings. 



It seems closely allied to Ce. forficula of Zetter, the larva of which is pale green, 

 with the back bluish, the sides with a white sulcus spotted with red : and feeds 

 upon willows. 



My specimen of this species (wliich is the only one I have exa- 

 mined) was taken at Coombe-wood several years back.

Ce. latifascia. Curtis, iv. pi. 193. — Steph. Catal. No. 5962. 



Wings whitish ; anterior with one basal and five transverse large black spots, the 

 latter followed by a broad cinereous fascia, variegated with orange and mar- 

 gined with black, the inner margin extending nearly to the anal angle, the 

 outer sinuated ; beyond this is a whitish space with three undulated, indented, 

 black strigae, some spots of the same colour on the costa, and one near the centre 

 resembling the letter x, the outer striga with an abbreviated cinereous costal 

 band, sprinkled with orange, hinder margin whitish, with a terminal row of 

 black dots : posterior wings with a lunate dusky spot, and two obsolete fuscous 

 bands, the inner one narrowest, nervures dusky ; margin spotted with black : 

 head and thorax anteriorly cinereous, the latter bluish-black, with two faint 

 orange bands posteriorly. 



I have one female of this insect, v/hicli was captured near London, 

 and a male that I obtained from Mr, Marsham's cabinet. " Near 

 Linton, north Devon." — Curtis, I. c.

Hoary white ; anterior wings with one basal and five transverse black spots, fol- 

 lowed by a narrow transverse cinereous band, sprinkled with orange, nar- 

 rowly margined anteriorly with black and orange, and rather sinuated poste- 

 riorly, with an abbreviated straight black margin towards the costa, beyond 

 this, on a whitish ground, are two rather indistinct undulated fuscous strigae, 

 and a few obsolete spots, with an oblique abbreviated cinereous fascia near the 

 apex of the costa, the hinder margin with a row of black spots: posterior
