The only example I have seen of this insect was taken in the 

 south of Scotland in the summer of 1827.

No. pyrophila. Wien. V. — Gr. pyrophila. Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 68. No. 

 6111. 



Head and thorax cinereous, the latter with a black spot on each side in front : 

 anterior wings cinereous or fuscescent, with various fuscous spots and strigs, 

 the latter dispersed at irregular tUstances ; the first being basal, geminated, 

 and shghtly flexuous, the second considerably before the anterior stigma, 

 obliquely transverse, considerably undulated exteriorly, and also duplex ; the 

 third is submonUiform and obscure, a little bent, and situated behind the 

 posterior stigma; near the hinder margin is a fourth striga composed of 

 conical spots, and slightly waved toward the apex and the anal angle ; the pos- 

 terior margin has a row of minute black dots ; cilia fuscous, with a pale line 

 at the base ; between the stigmata, which are distinct, and the anterior im- 

 maculate, runs a faint transverse dusky striga : the posterior wings are deep 

 glossy fuscous. 



Caterpillar dirty grayish-brown. 



Also a rare species : one or two specimens have, I believe, 

 occurred at Southgate near London, and also in the county of 

 Warwick. " Several examples found in July, 1826, at Netley, 

 Salop." — Rev. F. W. Hope, who kindly supplied me with the spe- 

 cimens which I possess. " Zetland." — Rev. Dr. Fleming. " La- 

 narkshire." — G. Lyell, Esq.

" 'Wings fuscous, with four obsolete pale strigae, edged, as it were, with minute 

 black lunules ; the first at the base, nearly entirely obliterated, the second 

 undulated and placed before the middle, the third arcuated and placed behind : 

 between these last is a lunule and several pale spots in the place of the margin 

 of the posterior stigma ; the anterior stigma wanting ; beyond the third striga 

 is a fourth dentated one, and on the margin itself is a row of extremely minute 

 black spots; cilia fuscous, or slightly cinerascent : posterior wings cinereous, 

 with a fuscous border, and a pale striga on the margin itself, cilia whitish."

 Skrimshire.
