1. maculosana, Haw. Alis anticis albis, nebulis strigisque irregu-

 basi apiceque nigro punctatis ; foemince nigro-fuliginosis. tf Exp.

Head and face black, with a few white scales. Eyes black. Palpi 

 as long as the head, black ; white at the base beneath. Antennae 

 black. Thorax black, streaked transversely with pale grey. Patagia 

 black, with the apex shining grey. Anterior wings dull white, 

 spotted with iron-grey and black ; the apical margin ferruginous. 

 The base broadly maculated and streaked with iron-grey, with a few 

 black spots in the middle, longitudinally disposed. At the centre of 

 the costa originates a broad, undefined, iron-grey fascia (or rather 

 cloud), with two or three irregular, conspicuous black spots, with 

 tawny streaks between ; black spots are also disposed along the 

 middle of the dorsal margin. A broad iron-grey fascia crosses the 

 apical angle ; a small similar-coloured patch lies towards the anal 

 angle, preceded by black spots. The apical margin streaked with 

 iron-grey and ferruginous. Apical scales dull iron-grey, mixed with 

 ferruginous. Cilia drab and iron-grey, with white bases, becoming 

 white at the anal angle. Posterior wings dull, pearly white, with a 

 fuscous patch at the anal angle ; the superior or costal margin 

 broadly fuscous, maculated with white, followed below by a fuscous 

 streak, a few fuscous atoms also round the margin. Marginal scales 

 and cilia dead white. Abdomen black ; the apex dull brown. $ Exp. 

 al. 6 lin. Anterior wings marked as in the rf . Posterior wings and 

 marginal scales fuscous grey, the latter with pale bases. Cilia white, 

 with the tips grey. 



A common species ; tolerably constant in size, but slightly 

 variable in the intensity of its markings. Distinguished from its 

 congeners by the very spotted appearance of the anterior wings, 

 particularly in the $ , and in the <$ by the WHITE posterior wings. 



The imago appears in May and June, and occurs throughout 

 the Metropolitan district, in Devonshire, near Dover, in the 

 New Forest, near Bristol, in Cheshire, and other places. It 

 occurs also in Scotland.
