1. uliginosana, Bentley MSS. Alis anticis maris pallide ochraceis 

 brunneo nebulosis ; atomis nigris sparsis. Foemince medio puncta 

 brunnea oblonga; posticis albicantibus, margine fuscescentibus ; 

 atomis nigris sparsis. <$ Exp. al. 7-7^ lin. 



Head grey or pale ochreous. Face pale ochreous. Eyes black. 

 Palpi : above pale ochreous, slightly brown at the apex. Antennae 

 fuscous. Thorax and patagia pale ochreous. Anterior wings slightly 

 glossy, pale ochreous, mixed with pale brown, the venation paler, 

 and distinctly appearing ; the surface sparingly dotted with black, 

 more so at the apex, and in the centre of the disk are one or 

 two dots, scarcely distinguishable from the rest as to size. Apical 

 scales same as the ground-colour of the anterior wings. Cilia paler. 

 Posterior wings very glossy, slightly pearly white, with a fuscous 

 tinge, darkest at the apex, where they incline to ochreous, sparingly 

 dotted with black, especially towards the apex. Marginal scales and 

 cilia paler. Legs straw-colour. Abdomen ochreous grey at the base, 

 merging into fuscous towards the apex ; the caudal tuft ochreous. 

 $ Exp. al. 7-7-J lin. Thorax with a transverse fuscous band across 

 the middle. Anterior wings, as in the <$ , with the addition of a 

 distinct irregularly oval umbreous spot above and beyond the middle 

 of the disk. 



A very rare species, but apparently not variable. The origi- 

 nal specimens in the Bentleyan Collection (Mr. Edwin Shep- 

 herd's) were taken many years ago near Yaxley. More recent 

 specimens have been taken near Ely in Cambridgeshire, and this 

 year (1858), two specimens are recorded as having been cap- 

 tured at West Wickham Wood : vide ' Entom. Weekly Intelli- 

 gencer/ vol. v. p. 20. 



The imago appears in June and July, frequenting boggy 

 places. 



'2. lanceolana, Hub. Alis anticis cinereo rufescentibus, strigulis nu- 

 merosis obliquis fuscis ; medio punctis duabus vel maculis fuscis 

 longitudinaliter dispositis ; posticis cinereis. tf Exp. al. 6^7^ lin. 



Head and face varying from ochreous to fuscous. Eyes black. 

 Palpi drab above, at the sides, and beneath ; paler between. An- 

 tennae fuscous. Thorax dusky drab or fuscous. Patagia same colour 

 as the thorax, with the tips paler. Anterior wings drab, more or less 

 dull, finely streaked with fuscous along the costa, and the whole 

 surface more or less freckled with the same colour ; along the apical 

 margin is a row of fuscous dots, most conspicuous towards the anal 

 angle. In some specimens there runs a dusky-brown streak from 

 the middle of the base to the middle of the wing, which is sometimes 

 continued faintly to the apex ; this streak is more or less distinct, 

 sometimes assuming the form of two irregular patches, one situated
