286 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA. 



Wine's gray-brown ; the anterior with two fasciae composed of four waved black 

 strigee, and towards the apex a deeper-coloured and more distinct striga, be- 

 hind which is a dentate whitish one, which is sometimes nearly obliterated; 

 on the disc is a minute black dot : posterior wings rather paler. 



Apparently rare ; I possess two examples captured in a garden 

 near Darenth-wood in June.

 Wings griseous-brown ; the anterior with some faint costal spots, and a large 



one on the disc, black; towards the posterior margin is an interrupted white 



striga, terminating at the anal angle in a conspicuous geminated white spot ; 



on the hinder margin is a faint black line : posterior wings with the anal 



angle cinereous, with a minute white dot. 



Very abundant in gardens in June within the metropolitan 

 district, and I believe not uncommon elsewhere, "i' Epping." — Mr.
