230 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA. 



posterior wings fuscous^ with a darker spot towards the base, a pale striga 

 behind the middle, and a very distinct row of whitish spots towards the hinder 

 margin, which is darker than the base. 



My specimens of this insect were captured in Scotland ; it seems 

 very distinct from all the others : I believe specimens are in the 

 British Museum, taken by Dr. Leach in the Isle of Arran.

 darker waved fulvescent strigae and a black dot towards the costa ; on the 

 hinder margin is an undulated whitish striga, and an oblique dark streak, and 

 wedge-formed dusky spots; at the base, on the inner edge of the wing, are 

 two white or whitish spots, and on the hinder margin an interrupted blackish
