96 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA. 



far from uncommon in several other places. " Common at Kimp- 

 ton and at Marton, Yorkshire." — Rev. G. T. Rudd. " Epping." 

 — Mr. H. Douhleday. 



Sp. 6. depressa. Alis anticis cinereo-plumbescentibus, margine anteriori luteo; 



posticis utrinque Jlavis bast cinerascente. (Exp. alan 1 unc. 6 lin.) 

 No. depressa. Esper? — Li. depressa. Steph. Catal. No. 6055. 



Larger than the foregoing : antennae pale ash, with the base yellowish : head 

 and anterior margin of the thorax bright luteous, the rest of the thorax and 

 base of the abdomen cinereous; the apex and margins of the latter yellow : 

 anterior wings very narrow : the entire disc pale lead-coloured ash, with the 

 costa luteous, the extreme edge being bright orange, and the coloured margin 

 of an uniform width to the fringe : the latter short, pale ashy-yellow : pos- 

 terior wings with the base cinerascent, the colour gradually blending with 

 that of the outer margin, which is clear pale yellow, pale luteous. 



Caterpillar feeds on the Pinus sylvestris : it is of a grayish-brown, with the back 

 yellow, spotted with black : it is found in June, and the imago towards the 

 middle of July. The pupa is reddish. 



One of my specimens of this pretty and distinct species was 

 taken at Darenth-wood about ten years since, and in July, 1827, I 

 captured a fine pair near Ripley. I have not observed the species 

 in other cabinets. 



Sp. 7. griseola. Alis anticis c'merascentibus, margine anteriori tenue stramineo ;^ 



posticis lividis. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 3 — 6 lin.) 

 Bo. griseola. Hilhner. — Li. griseola. Steph. Catal. N'o. 6056. 



Antennje dusky-gray: head, front of the thorax, and apex of the abdomen pale 

 yellow; disc of the thorax and base of the abdomen ashy-gray: anterior 

 wings clear ashy-gray, with the anterior margin, at the base especially, pale 

 straw-colour, the fringe ashy-gray ; under side nearly similar : posterior wings 

 on both sides ashy-gray ; fringe rather paler. 



This insect occurs in the utmost profusion in a woody lane near 

 Ripley, towards the end of July or beginning- of August; it is like- 

 wise far from uncommon near Hertford, though it has been usually 

 esteemed rather a scarce species. 



Sp. 8. plumbeolata. Alis anticis cinereo-plumbescentibus, costd tenuissime JIa- 



vescente ; posticis cinereo-Jlavis. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 5 — 6 lin.) 

 No. plumbeolata mihi. — Steph. Catal. No. 6057. 



Similar to, but rather larger than, the last : the head bright luteous : antennsc, 

 thorax, and abdomen cinereous : anterior wings of a pale lead-coloured ash, 

 with the costa narrowly edged with yellowish ; fringe flavescent : posterior 

 wings above cinereous-yellow, beneath paler; fringe straw-colour.
