NUDARIA. 173 



Newman says the Moth flies at early morning. I used to 

 take it at dusk near Shoreliam Harbour.

This is a genus including a few Moths easily recognisable by 

 their small size, and rather short, broad, rounded, and thinly- 

 scaled wings. We have two species in England, one of which 

 is here noticed.
