“Like a large Pellionella, but with two brown streaks from the base 
of the wing; one along the costa, which soon ceases, the other in the 
fold extending nearly to the anal angle; deyond the middle are some 
brown scales on the disc, and among them ¢o white spots, having an 
ocellated appearance; cilia pale cinereous, with some brown scales 
round the extreme apex of the wing.” 
The above description is copied from my Sup. Cat. ; not having 
had an opportunity of- again examining this species, of which I 
believe two or three other specimens have occurred in Liverpool.
