Taken among Scahiosa and Hetama monosperma, but T was' unable 

 to obtain any indication of its food-plant. Tt is closely allied to 

 infnntana, Knl., and roseofasciann^ Mn., but lias a more washed-out 

 appearance, the markinjTs being less distinct, and the rosy flush con- 

 fined to the costal third. 



Oberthiir's figure of his supposed osfrinana, Gn. [Etud., Ent., 

 XIT, 43, PI. VI, 26 ri8SS)], strongly reminds me of this insect, but he 

 specially mentions that Guenee's type, which he also possesses, is, 

 " plus fonce ; il a la teinte de Purpiiratnna, H.-S.", and the figure by 

 no means represents the usual forms of piirpurafana, HS., sunk by 

 Ragonot as a synonym of ostrinann, Gn. 



While agreeing with Ragonot in this synonymy T am greatly in- 

 clined to think that the species figured bv M. Oberthiir must be a 

 distinct species.

This species, which is very closely allied to deaJbann, Erol., may 

 be distinguished by its more deeply sinuate termen, and by its 

 usually narrower white fascia. 



I have bred it from Populus alba, and met with it plentifully in 

 different parts of Andalusia, but have never found the larva boring 

 the twigs after the manner of dealbana. It seems invariably to live 

 between united leaves.

This species, of obscure colour and without discal markings, 

 except so far as they are indicated by two very slight clouds, cannot 

 well be confused with any other. It is of rather large size, some 

 specimens being quite equal to the largest forms of the variable
