Torteix fasciana. Fabr. Ent. Syft. T. 3. p. 2. p. 2ol. n. 782? 



This infefit approaches very nearly to Phalaena fafciana of Fabricius : 

 it is alfo allied to Phalaena Gerningana of the fame author,, and it is not 

 unlikely j on future inveftigation, they may both prove to be accidental va- 

 rieties of the fame fpecies as our infect. The upper wings in our fpeci- 

 m'en is of a cinereous brown colour inclining to reddrfh, and marked 

 with many fliort tranfverfe lines. Acrofs the middle is a broad band, 

 and at the tip another fmaller one, with a flexuous edge, leaving a pale 

 narrow fpot in the middle of the pofterior apex next the margin. 



Taken in Kent near Faverfham.
