black marginal line : cilia fulvous. The male has a black line on the disc of 

 the superior wings, and the nervures and marginal slreak are broader and 

 of a deeper black than in the female, in which sex the spots are more distinct 

 on both surfaces of the wings. The black line on the disc of the anterior 

 wings of the male is bordered towards the base with elongate scales resembling 

 hair, and externally with rugose scales. 



A very common species, chiefly found on the borders of woods ; 

 in plenty at Coombe and Darenth woods, and on Hertford-heath, 

 about the end of May and again in July ; not uncommon in the 

 woody lanes about Ripley and on Clandon-common. " On Dart-

"l^^ings above brown, spotted with tawny : anterior with the costa pale tawny at. 

 the base, the colour gradually deepening to the apex, which is of a tawny 

 brown ; near the centre of the wing is an irregular tawny spot, and towards 

 the tip near the costa a quadrate spot of the same hue ; between these and the 

 hinder margin is an oblique series of tawny spots, emarginate exteriorly, the 

 spots becoming longitudinally elongated as they approach the thinner edge of 

 the wing ; the hinder margin is tawny-brown : cilia the same, b,ut lighter at 

 the anal angle of the wing : posterior with two longitudinal tawny streaks, 

 one of them reaching to the hinder margin, the disc between with a series of 

 elongate tawny spots, and a single one anterior to the abbreviated longitudinal 

 streak; the cilia pale tawny-brown; a deep notch on the hinder margin of the 

 wing towards the anal angle : beneath the anterior wings have a large dusky 

 spot at the base, and a row of similar-coloured subovate spots towards the

 tawny, speckled with dusky or brownish spots, and towards the anal angle with 

 a broad longitudinal streak of the same colour, bordered anteriorly with pale
