100 LEPIDOPTERA. 



conspicuous oblique whitish transverse lines, one from the 

 costa near the base to the middle of the inner margin, the 

 other from the costa near the apex to the inner margin be- 

 yond the middle ; nearly midway between these two lines is 

 an elongate whitish spot on the disc; cilia reddish-grey. 

 Posterior wings pale grey, with paler cilia. 



Not nearly allied to any known species. 



Two specimens were taken among Echium at Folke- 

 stone in July. One by Mr. Stevens, the other by Mr. 

 Tompkins. 



Zeller says of this species (Isis, 1848, p. 651), " It is 

 widely spread, but, probably, on account of its nocturnal 

 flight, little known. It frequents dry, weedy slopes, keeps 

 quite quiet by day ; and only appears on the wing in the 

 evening, when it is easily captured." 



The larva is unknown.

Alis anticis latiusculis dilute ochreis, fascia oblique brunnea 

 obsoleta, macula costali pone medium vix distinction,

 Exp. al. 8-10 lin. 



Anterior wings pale-ochreous, with an indistinct oblique 

 pale brown band from the costa before the middle, which can 

 rarely be traced to the inner margin. Before the apex is a 

 small costal blotch of a similar colour. In many specimens 

 both these markings are obliterated. Posterior wings white; 

 ciliae whitish, with a grey line at their origin in the $. 



The wings are shorter and more stumpy than in Spec- 

 tra?™, the markings rarely as distinct j the hind wings 

 whiter, and the grey line in the fringe of the male fur- 

 nishes a very distinctive character. The absence of the
