upper one being shorter than the lower, and touching an indistinct light tooth just 

 in front of the apex of the wing. The hind margin is darkly dotted. The fringe 

 grejish-brown, with white intersections, and having a dark dividing line. 



The hind-wings are pale grey, with whitish fringes that have an indistinct 

 dividing line. 



Head, collar, and central part of (horax, white ; palpi brown, bordered on the 

 upper side with white ; antennse reddish-brown ; palagise pale ochre ; body of the 

 same colour as the hind- wings. 



I have tliis \erj pretty species from Switzerland, and have also 

 had it sent me from Heidelberg. 



This is the only one of Div. B which has been recorded as British, 

 a few specimens havinL!,- occurred in Scotland. Thus, in the Entomo- 

 logist's xlnnual for 1SG9, p. 126, one specimen is stated to have beeu 

 taken " near Aberdeen" and another "in Scotland," without any more 

 precise locality being given. Dr. F. Buchanan White (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 viii, p. 70) mentions having taken it at Braemar, and Mr. Warrington 

 records its capture at Eannoch, at p. 113 of the same volume. 



SPECULALis, Hb. (25 — 27 mm.). 



The ground-colour of the fore-wings is uniform cinnamon-brown, with the white 

 longitudinal stripe twice very obliquely divided, above the second division of which 

 is an indistinct dark streak, there is also a light tooth just in front of the apex of 

 the wing ; the inner edge of tlie wing is bordered by a narrow white stripe for about 

 a third of its length from the base, the hind margin is finely dotted with black, the 

 fringe being brown with white intersections, and having the usual darker divisional 

 line. 



The hind-wings are brownish-grey, with whitish fringes, divided by a dark line 

 as in the fore-wings. 



Head, and central part of thorax, white ; palpi brown, edged with white above ; 

 the antennae and patagise are of the same colour as the fore-wings ; the bodv rather 

 darker than the hind-wings. 



This species is closely allied to myellxs, but may be recognised by the uniform 

 brown of the upper wings, by the stripe being more obliquely divided, and by its 

 larger size. 



This is again a hardy species, as I have fonnd it up to about GOOO 

 feet ; it is not so common at Zermatt as some of the preceding, but 

 still by no means rare. I have generally taken it in the meadows on 

 the Eiffel in company with concheUus. In the third week of June, 

 1880, we also took it in the Saas valley, wliere, on account of being 

 very much shut in, we found all insects earlier than in the Yisp valley. 

 It is decidedly a commoner, insect than the preceding species, with 

 which it is so closely allied.
