3. Mussehliana, Treit. Alis anticis nitidis stramineis, nebulis ochra- 

 ceis variis ; medio fascia obliqua brunnea, qua? vix costam attingit ; 

 costa margineque dorsali punctis brunneis ; posticis griseis, apice 

 fulvescentibus. <$ Exp. al. 4J 5 lin. 



Head and face straw-colour, inclining to ochreous. Eyes intense 

 brown. Palpi short, pale- ochreous. Antenna fuscous. Thorax and 

 patagia pale fuscous, with an ochreous tinge. Anterior wings glossy, 

 straw-colour, with ochreous-brown markings. The costa is clouded 

 from the base to the middle with fuscous ochreous ; beyond the middle 

 it is maculated with pale umbreous, as is also the dorsal margin ; the 

 latter more distinctly. Before the middle of the dorsal margin arises 

 a broad, oblique, dull ochreous fascia, which attains the costa, where 

 it is somewhat indistinct ; on its posterior margin, in the middle, it 

 is marked with a fuscous patch, which is more or less defined in dif- 

 ferent specimens. The apical region is clouded with ochreous, and 

 there is also a pale ochreous triangular patch on the dorsal margin 

 within the anal angle. Apical scales and cilia straw-colour, with the 

 apex slightly fuscous. Posterior wings glossy, grey, with a fuscous 

 tinge towards the margins. Legs straw-colour. Abdomen pale 

 fuscous ; the apex dull ochreous. Exp. al. 6-6|- lin. In this sex 

 the posterior wings are darker. 



Exceedingly rare ; one or two specimens were captured many 

 years ago in Devonshire by the late Richard Weaver, and are in 

 the cabinet of Mr. Henry Doubleday. In appearance allied to 

 Eupcecilia rupicola, but distinguished by its general paler colour- 

 ing, and grey underwings. 



4. Baumanniana, Schiff. Alis anticis albidis aut subcinereis ; nebula 

 basi, medio fascia obliqua angulata, pone altera interrupta, apice- 

 que ferrugineis obscuris, strigis punctisque subargenteis ; posticis 

 cinereis, subtus punctatis. $ Exp. al. 11-11|- lin. 



Head rich ferruginous. Face darker. Eyes black. Palpi longer 

 than the head, rich brown, grey between. Antenna? brown ; basal 

 joint clothed beneath with ferruginous scales. Thorax deep ferru- 

 ginous in front, iron-grey on the vertex ; the bifid crest is deep ferru- 

 ginous at the sides, and ochreous between. Patagia chocolate-brown, 

 the tips ochreous. Anterior wings pale ochreous, broadly marked 

 with deep ferruginous, and lustrous silvery spots and streaks. At the 

 base is a cloud sharply defined on the costa, which it occupies one- 

 fifth of its length. Before the middle is a broad, sharply defined, 

 angulated fascia, interrupted posteriorly by a longitudinal pale 

 ochreous line going through it ; previous to the interruption, this 

 fascia is directed towards the anal angle, but afterwards it alters its
