Anterior wings five times as long as broad, ochreous, in- 

 termixed with white, especially along the inner magin ; along 

 the costa are numerous indistinct, short white streaks, towards 

 the apex they become longer and more distinct ; in the fold of 

 the wing, beyond the middle, is a spot of darker ochre ; at the 

 apex is a distinct deep-brown or black ocellated spot ; cilia 

 whitish, with a curved ochreous line from the apex to the inner 

 margin.* 



Posterior wings six times as long as broad, pale grey, with 

 ochreous cilia. 



Of this beautifully distinct species I took a single specimen on 

 the 1st of May, 1850, in a lane near Dawlish, in Devonshire. I 

 beat it out of a hedge in which there was a great deal of birch, 

 but also bramble, sallow, hornbeam and honeysuckle. I beat the 

 same hedge most assiduously the whole of the next day, but with- 

 out having the good fortune to meet with another specimen.

Best distinguished from all the allied species, by the whitish 

 line which runs along the hinder margin, from the anal angle to 

 near the apex. 



Head and thorax whitish-grey, with some darker hairs inter- 

 mixed ; face white ; antennae white, annulated with brownish- 

 grey ; palpi white, with a blackish spot on the under side of the 

 terminal joint ; the four anterior legs grey, spotted with white, 

 the tarsi white, with the end of the joints dark brownish-grey ; 

 hind legs whitish, spotted with grey, tarsi brownish-grey, with 

 the bases of the joints whitish. 



Anterior wings four times as long as broad, pale grey, inter- 

 mixed with white, especially along the inner margin ; along the 

 costa are numerous short white streaks, the five last being much 

 the most distinct, and longer than the others; the fifth from the 



* I believe this should be followed by a second outer line, at the lower half of 

 the cilia, as in the preceding species; but my specimen is a little rubbed at the 

 extreme tips of the cilia.
