 a little before the middle, and the apex also dark : on the disk there are four rows of 

 minute black spots, as in Hyponomeuta. 



Two specimens taken by Mr. Logan, among heather, in September.

 ner margin ; posterior wings gray, with long gray cilia. 



One specimen taken by Mr. Bedell, near Leatherhead, in September.

Like a small Staintoni [Zool. 2037], but the head and ground colour of the ante- 

 rior wings white.

 yond the middle, which does not reach either margin ; between this and the base is a 

 smaller white spot, sometimes very indistinct : antennas unannulated (in langiella, 7V., 

 they are annulated).

 herd's collection.
