anterior legs dark grey, spotted with whitish, tarsi white, with 

 the ends of the joints dark grey ; hind legs dirty brownish, tarsi 

 pale, with the ends of the joints darker. 



Anterior wings five times as long as broad, dark grey with a 

 purple gloss, with the inner margin whitish, and with several 

 short whitish streaks along the costa, the fifth before the apex 

 being continued obliquely across the wing towards the anal angle, 

 and the apical streak continued round the ocellated black spot, to 

 the hinder margin ; in the fold of the wing are two oblong black 

 spots, one before, the other beyond, the middle, and between 

 this latter and the continuation of the costal streak, which is fifth 

 from the apex, is a smaller black spot ; cilia whitish, with two 

 complete curved dark lines from the apex to the inner margin. 



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

 paler cilia. 



This species appears rather partial to the chalk here. I have 

 taken it at Sanderstead in May, and at Mickleham in July. It 

 has been taken in Italy by Herr Mann, near Florence, Pisa and 

 Leghorn, " everywhere abundant on blackthorn." Zeller states 

 that it also " occurs near Vienna and Jena."

Resembles Torquillella in having unspotted white palpi, but 

 readily distinguished from that species by the paler face, paler 

 base, and whiter markings of the anterior wings. 



Head white, with a few grey hairs on the crown ; face white ; 

 antennae dark grey, with paler annulations ; palpi white, un- 

 spotted ; thorax white, intermixed with grey ; the four anterior 

 legs dark grey, spotted with white, tarsi white, with the ends of 

 the joints dark grey ; hind legs dirty brownish grey, tarsi the 

 same, with the bases of the joints paler. 



Anterior wings five times as long as broad, dark grey, with the 

 base and inner margin copiously sprinkled with whitish ; along the 

 costa are numerous short white streaks, the fifth before the apex 

 being continued towards the anal angle, and the apical one being 

 continued round the apical black spot to the hinder margin ; in 

 the fold of the wing are two deep black oblong spots, one before 

 and the other beyond the middle (the third spot is lost in the dark
