Ph. sylvaticata. Haworth, — Ha. sylvaticata. Steph. Catal. part ii. p. 133. 

 No. 6563. 



Anterior wings white at the base, with a slender fuscous striga and irregular 

 cinereous clouds, the naiddle with a broad fuscous fascia, obtusely unangulated 

 in the middle, with a dark spot towards the costa, and other smaller ones on 

 the margin; behind this is a broad white fascia; the hinder margin of all 

 the wings is of a bluish or lead-coloured brown, interrupted in the middle of 

 each with a large whitish spot, and traversed by an undulated white line ; 

 on the hinder margin is an interrupted black line ; and the cUia of the 

 anterior wings are fuscous, with pale streaks, and of the posterior cinereous 

 with fuscous clouds : posterior wings whitish, vyith a fuscous dot towards the 

 base, and some abbreviated fuscescent strigae towards the inner margin. 



This and the two preceding species form a portion of the genus Melanippe of 

 Duponchel, the palpi are rather shorter than in their congeners. 



Much less abundant than the last, and very local : in plenty, 

 however, at Darenth-wood and its neighbourhood in July. " Rae-

Anterior wings at the base ashy-brown, with a fulvescent tinge, followed by a 

 pale striga in which are some ashy clouds ; beyond which is a beautiful sub- 

 dolabriform fuscous fascia, with its outer margin produced into a single 

 obtuse angle about the middle, and a deep-black spot towards the costa, 

 followed by a white striga ; the hinder margin of all the wings ashy-brown, 

 with darker clouds and a conspicuous striga of united while arcs : cilia 

 clouded with fuscous ; posterior wings paler at the base, with waved fuscescent 

 strigse, and a fuscous dot before the middle. 



A little variable in colour, and the base of the posterior wings is sometimes 

 fuscescent. 



This pretty species is also somewhat uncommon : it occurs at 

 Birch and Darenth Woods ; and I have found it at Coombe, at the 

 end of June.
