during life ; the horny lobe from the antepenultimate seg- 
ment beneath is rather long. 
Species occur throughout Europe and in Turkestan. 
The Turkestan species in Mr. M'Lachlan's possession, 
sent from the Moscow Museum, is undescribed.

Agraylea rmdtipunctata and sexmaculaia. Curt. 1834; 
Hydrorchestria argyricola ? multipunctata and sexma- 
culaia, Kolen. 1848; Agraules multipunctata and sex-

Head and prothorax with pale yellowish-gray hair ; 
palpi pale ; antennre black. Anterior Avings usually with 
pale-yellowish markings; these are sometimes, — on the 
inner margin a long space near the base followed by two 
shorter ones, of which one is near the middle, the other 
near the arculus, very conspicuous ; on the terminal 
margin two or three small spots, the first two of Avhicli 
enter the fringes ; on the costal margin a conspicuous 
blotch at the pterostigmatic region, followed by two 
minute spots towards the tip ; the disk has many spots, 
often there are three larger than the rest in the middle of 
the post-median portion of the wing. Posterior wings 
unicolourous gray, their fringes with a faint purplish gloss. 
Legs greenish-gray or subolivaceous, or sometimes testa-

Hab. — England, in lakes and slow rivers ; common at 
Ringwood. June, July, August. Sweden (M'Lachlan's 
collection). Kolenati's A. argyricola is possibly a distinct 
species. I haye never seen A. nudtipunctata Avitli a pale 
band before the tip of the antennro, nor with whitish hair 
upon the head and prothorax. Tourists in southern 
Sweden ( Stockholm, Dalecarlia) should look out for this 
form, to determine whether it is a variety only of A. mid-
