costal is opposite the third dorsal streak, they are dark-margined in- 

 ternally ; in the apex of the wing is a black streak, above it are some 

 white scales which rnn into the fuscons hook of the cilia ; a dark 

 hinder-marginal line runs round the apex of the wing; cilia pale ochre- 

 ous. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Appears in May and August. The larva feeds in oak-leaves. 

 It has occurred near Bristol, and near Keswick.

Head pale saflVon. Face and palpi white. Antenna; whitish, with 

 darker annulations. Anterior wings shinbir/, yaJa saffron, with a basal 

 streak, four costal and three dorsal streaks silvery-white ; the basal 

 streak is dark-margined towards the costa, and its hinder half is dark- 

 margined towards the inner margin ; the costal spots are all small and 

 have dark margins towards the base of the wing ; the first dorsal spot 

 is the longest, it is curved, it is dark-margined internally and round its 

 apex, which is rather prolonged as a black streak ; the second dorsal spot 

 is triangular, it is dark-margined on both sides ; the apical black streak 

 is rather long and thin, and has frequently on its upper side white 

 scales, forming a continuation of the fourth costal spot. Posterior 

 wings grey, with paler cilia.

Head pale saflVon. Face and palpi white. Anterior wings shining 

 saOVon, the basal streak rather slender, (lark-niar[/uied on both sides ; on 

 the costa are three white streaks {a fourth is totalli/ wanting), and three 

 others arc on the inner margin, are all dark-margined towards the base, 

 the first pair most strongly ; some dark scales lie on the disc beyond 

 the middle; beyond the apex of the third costal streak conmicnces the 

 a])ical black streak ; sonic dark scales in the cilia run round the apex 

 of the wing. Posterior wings leaden-grey ; cilia paler. 



A single sj)ccimen, taken at Sauderstead in May, by Mr. 

 Douglas, is in his collection.
