Species 11, — Eudorea angustea — (Curtis; Stephens; Wood, fig. 1450; and our Plate CXV,, Fig. 1) — 

 Expands 6 or 7 lines; fore wings narrow, elongated, ashy-brown, with darker clouds, and three whitish streaks 

 — the first, near the base, broadly edged on both sides with brown ; the second, strongly incurved beyond the 

 middle (and between these three indistinct dusky marks, the outer one somewhat resembling the Greek chi, 

 placed on a dusky space) ; the apical portion of the wing brownish, with an outwardly curved white streak, and 

 a marginal row of black dots. Taken near London, and in various parts of Kent, in June. 



Species 12. — Eudorea pusilla — (Plate CXV., fig. 2.) — Expands 6^ lines ; fore wings very pale 

 luteous or straw-coloured, slightly irrorated with black scales ; an ill-defined abbreviated dark fascia towards 

 the base, a central spot also almost obsolete, followed by a slender blackish striga, curved outwardly in the 

 middle, edged outwardly with white, and followed by a dusky space, and a marginal row of black dots ; hind wings 

 very pale buff. Taken at Tunbridge, in Kent, and communicated from Mr. Bentley^s collection with the above name. 



Species 13. — Eudorea mercurella '' — (Linnasus, &c. ; Wood, fig. 1449 ; and our Plate CXV,, Fig. 3) 

 — Expands about 8 lines ; fore wings ashy-buff and clouded, with two irregular, slender, brown, waved streaks 

 in the ordinary position, and between them a whitish patch surrounded by a 8-like black mark ; the apical part 

 of the wing darker brown, with irregular whitisli transverse streaks, and a row of minute black dots along the 

 apical margin. Common on trunks of trees through the summer.
