34 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Expands 6§ lines. Head pale reddish ochreous. Anterior 

 wings pale reddish ochreous ; the base fuscous, bordered by an 

 angulated dark fuscous striga before the middle ; beyond 

 the middle is an oblique irregular fuscous fascia, terminating 

 in the anal angle; along the costa are numerous short dark 

 fuscous streaks, and the hinder margin is edged with dark 

 fuscous ; cilia blackish. Posterior wings dark-greyish fus- 

 cous, with paler cilia. 



Taken by Mr. S. Stevens and the Rev. W. H. Hawker, 

 in September last, on Hayling Island, Hants, among the 

 spurge which grows on the coast. 



Retinia duplana, Hiibner. 



Like a small dark Turionella ; but the thorax grey, 

 only the head and palpi ferruginous. 



Expands 7 — 8 lines. Head and palpi ferruginous ; 

 thorax grey. Anterior wings grey, with darker transverse 

 wavy bands, the entire apical portion suffused with ferru- 

 ginous, the apex rather acute, much more so than in the 

 allied species. Posterior wings grey. 



Bred last summer by Mr. Scott from a bud of Scotch fir. 



A few specimens were also taken by Mr. Bouchard, in 

 Scotland. 



Ratzeburg's figure does not represent the anterior wings 

 sufficiently pointed, but Herrich-Schaffer especially calls

Argyrolepia maritimana, Guenee. 



Most nearly allied to A. Dubrisana, but larger, and the 

 anterior wings yellower ; and also readily distinguished from 

 that species by the greyish posterior wings being mottled 

 with white. 



Expands $ 8, $ 8J lines. Anterior wings yellowish straw- 

 colour, marbled with fuscous or blackish, with an ill-de-
