Insects. 1915 



from the costa towards the hinder margin of the wing ; between these strigae the stig- 

 mata, which are cupreous, are placed ; on the hinder margin of the wing is the usual 

 striga, which is composed of copper-coloured lunules, the W mark being almost obli- 

 terated ; on the costa, near the apex, are three pale spots, and a minute white dot on 

 each of the nervures between the second and third striga ; cilia? spotted with black and 

 cupreous; posterior wings fuscous, scarcely paler on the disk; ciliae reddish. Head, 

 thorax and abdomen deep fuscous, sprinkled with coppery dots. 



This species is very closely allied to H. adusta, and seems intermediate between it 

 and H. satura, which it much resembles ; it differs from the former in having the an- 

 tenna? less ciliated, the strigae slightly different in form, and in the absence of the W 

 mark so conspicuous in H. adusta ; the posterior wings are also much deeper in colour. 

 First taken in Scotland by Mr. Weaver, in 1846, and this season by a friend of Mr. 

 Stainton's. — Henry Doubleday.
