Antenna? griseous: thorax slightly crested, griseous: anterior wings pale fusces- 

 cent, with three stigmata, of which the two anterior are small and shuttle- 

 shaped, the exterior large and telitbrm : the costal edge is spotted with brown 

 and dotted with white: the posterior wings arc wliitish. 



Closely allied to the following species, of which I suspect it is a mere variety.

AntenniE griseous; head and palpi ashy: thorax ashy, with a griseous lateral 

 line, and a black transverse one in front : anterior wings pale ashy-griseous, 

 with a large quadrate dusky or brown patch at the base, and a spot of a 

 similar hue behind the middle, on the costa ; on the margin of the basal 

 patch is a geminated dusky striga, and behind the posterior stigma is a 

 second, composed of black dots, or lunular spots; between these the stig- 

 mata are placed, the anterior of which is very slender and acute at each ex- 

 tremity, very pale cinereous, with a darker centre ; the reniform one is dark 

 fuscous, and the inner or teUform one is extremely minute ; the hinder margin 

 of the wings is a little dusky, with a row of distinct whitish spots: the pos- 

 terior wihgs are white, with dusky nervures. The female has the anterior 

 wings deep fuscous, with a pale cloud towards the middle of the costa, and 

 the posterior dusky, with a darker central lunule. 



A rare species ; found occasionally in St. James's and Greenwich 

 Parks, in June ; it also occurs in Norfolk. " Devonshire." — Rev.
