fuscous, with an oblique duslcy spot towards the middle of the 

 costa, and a faint rounded one near the tip ; fringe ochreous brown : 

 posterior wings pale brownish ; fringe brownish at the base, the tip

LiTHOGRAPHIA EXCRUCIANA, Step. MSS. 



LiTH. Alis anticis rufo-testaceis, obsoletissime fusco strigatis ; 

 posticis fuscis basi pallescente. (Exp. Alar. 7 lin.) 



Closely allied to var. a. of the foregoing species, but with the 

 anterior wings of a brighter red, and very obscurely streaked with 

 oblique brown strigae ; the costa with a few whitish spots, divided 

 by a dusky line, towards the apex : hinder wings dull brown, with 

 the base pale; fringe tawny-brown. 



It is possible that this unique male specimen may be only a 

 singular var. of L. trimaculana. It was found in Devonshire, in 

 June.
