Ilead hoary : thorax cinereous^, with a lateral and anterior black streaky the crest 

 mfescent : anterior wings pale reddish-brown, clouded with silveryrash, with 

 obsolete waved pale and brown strigse: anterior stigma ovate, pale silvery- 

 ash, with a black margin, posterior reniform, clouded in the centre with cine- 

 reous and brown^ and also edged with black : between the anterior stigma and 

 the inner margin of the wing is a black hook : and towards the hinder margin 

 of the wing is an undated pale striga, producing a blackish spot on the inside, 

 at its origin on the costa ; a darker one towards the middle, and a larger, and 

 still deeper coloured one, at the anal angle ; the hinder margin of the wing 

 itself has a crenated black line: ciha reddish-ash, with the margin paler: 

 posterior wings fuscous, with a central spot, and the margin darker : ciha 

 whitish. 



Caterpillar gray, with fine black stripes on the back, and pale whitish or ochra- 

 ceous lateral ones, with a reddish undulated streak above the latter : — it feeds 

 on the Ononis spinosa, &c., and the imago is produced towards the end of 

 June. 



I have two or three times captured this beautiful species in 

 Darentli-wood, by accidentally beating it out of the branches of 

 the lofty oaks, situated near the south-western skirts of the wood : 

 specimens have been found ^t Coombe-wood, and in other parts in 

 the vicinity.
