318 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTEKA. 



two new names, which otherwise must have been the case. With 

 the exception of the insect just mentioned, the Timandrse may 

 be known from all the other Geometridse by the fascia which 

 traverses the wings diagonally, and by the angular posterior 

 wings ; and from Bradyepetes the diiferent structure of the antennse 

 and posterior tarsi removes it.

Wings pale reddish-yellow, or ochraceous ; anterior with an incurved flexuous 

 fuscous striga near the base, and a second common one towards the hinder 

 margin, between which is a very oblique nearly straight broad one clouded 

 exteriorly with fuscous, arising on the costa of the anterior wings near the 

 third striga, and traversing all the wings, passing behind the ordinary black 

 dot on the anterior wings and before that of the posterior, which last is gene- 

 rally very conspicuous : on the hinder margin of the wings is a continued 

 line ; cilia rufescent. 



Not uncommon at Darenth and near Ripley ; also in the New 

 Forest in June; also frequent in my own garden. " Epping." —

Sp. 2. variegata. Alis albidis, cinereo-atomosis, strigis duahus obsoletissimis 

 fascidque obliqud communijuscd, margine postico striga tenuissimd subinter- 

 ruptd. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 1 — 2 lin.) 



Ph. variegata. ScopoU. — Ma. variegata. Steph. Catal. part \\. p. 154. No. 6738. 



Wings whitish, with cinereous atoms; the anterior with two very obsolete 

 strigae, one towards the base, the other near the hinder margin, common to 

 all the wings, and indented ; behind this the posterior margin is rather dark, 

 with a waved pale striga, and between the strigae is an oblique fasciseform one 

 extending from a little beyond the middle of the costa of the anterior wings 

 to the inner margin of the posterior, passing behind the central dot of the 

 former, and through that of the latter : in the hinder margin of all the wings 

 is a delicate slightly interrupted fuscous line : cilia cinereous, immaculate. 



Very rare : my specimens were taken in a lane near Darenth in 

 June ; the insect occurs, however, elsewhere. " Baron-wood and 

 Rose Castle." — T. C. Heysham^ Esq.
