146 Mr. R. M‘Lachlan’s Monograph of the 
ground colour; apical margin regularly spotted. Posterior wings 
smoky-grey, with dark grey fringes. Legs brownish-testaceous. 
Abdomen dark fuscous, paler beneath. The lobe from the upper 
margin of the last abdominal segment in the male more pointed 
than in flavomaculatus ; the app. intermed. very sharply elbowed 
in the middle, the apical half directed outwards horizontally at 
nearly right angles; app. sup. long and pale yellow, the tips 
acute and suddenly incurved ; app. inf. very similar to those of 
flavomaculatus. 
Expanse of fore-wings, ¢ 7—8 lines, @ 9—10 lines. 
This species is very likely overlooked. I possess four or five 
examples from various localities, one of which is Haslemere. It 
may readily be separated from the last by the form of the app. 
sup.; in size it is somewhat larger, and rather paler in colour. 
I do not feel certain that this is P. multiguttatus of Curtis, as 
I noted that the species of this name in Curtis’ cabinet was iden- 
tical with Cyrnus trimaculatus (p. 149), but this may have been an 
error. The citation of Brauer’s name is from a specimen from 
Zeller’s Collection named by Brauer himself. Kolenati’s name is 
given on the authority of a specimen sent by him to Dr. Hagen. 
B. In the posterior wings, discoidal cell closed, only forks 2 and 5 
present ; two first costule not united by a transverse vein.

Polycentropus subnebulosus, Steph. (*) Cat. p. 317, 3598 (1829); 
M‘Lach. Ent. Mo. Mag. i. 28 (1864); PB. multiguttatus, 
Steph. (*) Hl. p. 178, 8, part (1836), not of Curtis; P. pyr- 
rhoceras, Hag. (*) Ent. Ann. 1861, p. 4, 90 (not of Steph.). 
Antenne brown, annulated with yellow. Head fuscous, with 
greyish-yellow hairs. Palpi fuscous. Mesothorax dark fuscous. 
Anterior wings fuscous, thickly but not very conspicuously irro- 
rated with pale yellow; slightly worn examples appear entirely 
pale fuscous; some long dark spaces of the ground-colour on the 
costal margin. Posterior wings smoky-grey. Legs externally 
fuscous, internally ochreous. Abdomen fuscous, paler beneath. 
In the male the lobe from the upper margin of the last abdominal 
segment is very long and narrow, the app. intermed. lying close 
on each side of it, and bent under at the tips in a haustellate 
form; app. sup. rather small, yellow, the tips slightly narrowed 
and bent downwards; app. inf. brown, small and nearly qua- 
drate. 
Expanse of fore-wings, $ 7 lines.
