282 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



interrupted with fuscous: posterior wings paler, less virescent, but more 

 distinctly strigated. 



In general rare; but in July, 1827, I found the insect in great 

 abundance in a bushy lane near Ripley, the only time that I ever 

 captured the species : it does occur also at Darenth and other places.

Wings griseous-white, with waved fuscous strigse and fascise, two of which, 

 common to all the wings, are composed of minute, parallel, acute lineolse, 

 and appear from thence, as it were, pectinated within ; beyond these, on the 

 hinder margin, is an indistinct whitish dentate hne, and on the margin itself 

 a black one, interrupted on the nervures with white; and two fuscescent 

 clouds, one near the apex, the other towards the middle of the hinder margin 

 of the posterior wings : cilia of all slightly clouded with fuscous. 



Very abundant amongst the fir plantations in the neighbourhood 

 of Ripley; it also is found, though sparingly, near London, in June.
