1. D. coryli, L. — Expanse 1;^ to \\ inch. Fore wings 

 red-brown to the middle, thence whitish clouded with grey ; 

 hind wings pale brownish with spotted cilia. 



Antennae of the male of moderate length, regularly pecti- 

 nated with thin solid teeth, curved forward at their tips ; 

 light brown. Head and thorax abundantly clothed with 

 rather long, loose, greyish-white, grey, or brown scales ; the 

 thorax stout, and irregularly ornamented with short trans- 

 verse bars of blackish-brown in series of three each on the 

 shoulders and back ; abdomen moderately stout, pale grey, 

 indistinctly barred on each segment with dark grey or brown, 

 and having on the back a row of tufts of raised scales. Fore 

 wings not broad ; costal and dorsal margins nearly straight ; 

 apex bluntly angulated, almost rounded off; hind margin 

 rounded, especially so towards the anal angle ; pale grey, 

 greyish- white, or pale brownish-grey ; first transverse line 

 black, three times angulated, and sloping outward to both 

 costal and dorsal margins ; second line erect from the dorsal 

 margin half-way across the wings, then curving widely out- 

 ward before turning to the costa, the dorsal half black and 

 distinct, the remainder light brown and often obscure ; 

 usually the black portion appears to be continued to the 

 costa by a black streak, which, however, is really a portion 

 of a central clouded stripe which almost embraces a large 

 spot or blackish ring at the end of the discal cell ; this cen- 

 tral clouded stripe is most irregular, often filling the whole 

 space between the first and second lines with a broad blotch 

 of chocolate, or red-brown, or purplish-grey, containing 

 blackish angular lines ; outside the second line is an oblique 

 indented, cloudy line, beyond which the hind margin is tinged 

 with darker grey or brownish ; cilia pale grey, shaded with 

 darker, but interrupted with yellowish dashes. Hind wings 

 rather small, rounded, pale brownish or yellowish- grey ;
