Body black ; villosity white ; front, shining coal black, on the

 long, more than three-fourths of the front wing, basal joint blackish, 

 the other faintly annulated with a darker hue ; thorax, dull, with 

 some brown marks ; legs yellowish white, whitish villous, tibia 

 with a blackish ring near the knee and another on the apex ; last 

 tarsal joint, dark brown ; claws pale ; front wings narrow, long, 

 three times longer than broad, apex rounded, hyaline, veins white 

 and brown, whitish villous ; the wings are somewhat irregularly 

 spotted with brown bands sometimes along the gradate veins, 

 a regular series of spots along the margin, the forks on apex of 

 wing, the gradate veins ; three sectors ; the two gradate series 

 not parallel, the external one somewhat irregular ; five veins in 

 each series ; hind wings with three irregular fumose blotches, 

 on the apex of the wing and on both margins before the apex,

 pale whitish; a spoonshaped ventral valve; two yellow, sharp,

Hab. Europe, 20 specimens, half males, before me : Silesia, the 

 types of Dr. Schneider ; Vienna, Austria, Mayr; Hamburg, Win- 

 them ; Stuttgart, Zenneck ; Regensburg, Herrich SchaerTer ; Swit- 

 zerland, Zurich, Bremi and Imhoff; Bex, Dr. Hensche ; England 

 F. Walker. 



Wallengren, Sweden, June and July in southern and middle 

 provinces, rare ; England, M'Lachlan, frequent in summer and 

 generally distributed ; Italy and Sardinia, A. Costa ; Sardinia, 

 Rambur ; Corsica, Hagen. 



The females are commonly larger ; the appendages of the male 

 are not easily seen ; the spoonshaped lower valve and the two sub- 

 ulate spines are certain ; also the flattened dorsal segment split 

 from below (not two oval valves above), but I have not been able 

 to see upper appendages, and only doubtfully distinguish a straight 

 penis. 



Wallengren is surely right in stating that H. variegatus Zett.
