GEOMETRIDiE. IJARPALYCE. 223 



in the metropolitan Cabinets : in that year I discovered its locality- 

 near Dover, and took a single example ; and in the following June 

 I found it in the same place abundantly, since which it has been 

 again taken in plenty. " Woodlands, Devon." — Dr. Leach. " Near 

 Dublin." — N. A. Vigors^ Esq. " Weston-on-the-green." — Rev.

Sp. 4. unilobata. Alls cinerascentibus subnehulosis fascia lata medio, unilobatd 



fused, nigra strigosa. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 2 lin.) 

 Ph. unilobata. Haworth. — Ha. unilobata, Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 132. No,

Anterior wings ashy-white, with a small fuscous fascia at the base, another 

 broad one in the middle, with undulated black lines, sinuated exteriorly, 

 and as it were unilobate behind : posterior margin darker, especially towards 

 the costa, with a white evanescent striga of united white arches, in which is 

 a didymated black spot : posterior wings somewhat fuscous, with evanescent 

 pale transverse strigse. 



This insect too closely resembles the preceding to be really a distinct species ; 

 but as my specimen was obtained nearly from the same locality with Mr. 

 Haworth's, and exactly resembles it, I have thought proper to consider it 

 distinct, but with doubt: there is an insect closely resembling it in the 

 British Museum, which was caught in Scotland. 



Taken in Yorkshire. — Haworth, I. c. " Near Scarborough." —

Sp. 5. quadriannulata. Alis cinereis strigis tribus geminatis, viacuMque costali 

 fuseis, faseici anticd moniliformi limboque postico albis. (Exp. alar . 1 unc. 1 lin.) 



Ph. quadriannulata. Haworth. — Ha. 4-annulata. Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 132. 

 No. 6556. 



Anterior wings ashy-brown at the base, then with two geminated waved fuscous 

 strigae, and between these a narrow fascia of four rounded white spots, edged 

 with black ; then a broad fuscous-ash space or fascia, terminating in a gemi- 

 nated fuscous striga, with a black spot within towards the costa ; behind this 

 the wings are whitish, a little clouded with cinereous and darker shades and 

 waves, with a small emarginate black spot towards the apex of the costa: 

 posterior wings pale cinereous white, with the border rather darker. 



I strongly suspect that this insect, which is found in Cambridge- 

 shire and on the coast of Devon, is also merely an extraordinary 

 variety of Ha. Galiata. 



Sp. 6. tristata. Alis albis fasciis sinuatis strigis punctorum, limboque communibus 



albis. (Exp. alar. 11 — 13 lin.)
