towards the costa ; near the hinder margin is a distinct striga of white arcs ) 

 cilia ashy, with a dark Une and fuscous spots : posterior wings whitish, with 

 a central fuscous dot, and with one or more fuscescent strigae towards their 

 hinder margin, on which is an interrupted black line : cilia ashy, with trigonal

 Extremely variable in colour, and with regard to the solidity of the central 

 fascia of the anterior wings, it being sometimes very distinct, at others 

 scarcely discernible. 



Apparently very abundant on old walls and in the north of 

 England In June, whence I have received numerous examples.

Wings whitish, sprinkled throughout with bluish atoms, and adorned with 

 numerous transverse strigae and about five flavescent fasciae, two of which are 

 basal — other two form, as it were, the outline of the usual central fascia, 

 which is open on the costa, with an elongate black dot within, and its posterior 

 edge sinuated ; towards the hinder margin is the fifth flavescent fascia, adjoin- 

 ing to which exteriorly is a white striga composed of arcs : cilia pale, with 

 fuscous spots: posterior wings fuscous-ash, with two or three darker and 

 paler strigae towards the hinder margin, on which is an interrupted black line : 

 ciUa pale, with fuscous spots. 



Also found in the north : my specimens, which are extremely fine, 

 were captured in June, 1827, in Cumberland.
