rather indistinct, and not acutely angulated; the veins posteriorly are 
more or less distinctly indicated by fuscous streaks; cilia reddish-fus- 
cous, towards the anal angle grey. Posterior wings whitish-grey, a 
little darker posteriorly, with whitish cilia. 
Common in July and August among broom and furze (Ulex

Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous ; second joint 
beneath pale fuscous. Antenne dark fuscous. Anterior wings rather 
broad, pale ochreous, with some darker ochreous clouds; on the inner 
margin near the base is a small dark fuscous spot; on the dise are two 
black spots, one before, the other beyond the middle; beneath the 
latter is a small fuscous blotch, in which a dark ochreous streak from the 
inner margin near the base appears to terminate ; beyond is a pale fus- 
cous oblique streak, often very indistinct ; hinder margin spotted with 
fuscous; cilia very pale ochreous. Posterior wings whitish-grey, with 
some dark spots towards the apex of the hinder margin; cilia whitish. 
A common species, appearing in July and August; the larva

June.

Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous; second joint 
beneath pale fuscous. Antenne dark fuscous. Anterior wings rather 
narrow, pale ochreous, with a black spot near the inner margin towards 
the base; on the disc are two black spots, one before, the other beyond 
the middle; a dr0ad fuscous streak arises near the inner margin not far 
from the base, and, curving a little upwards, terminates rather beyond 
the second spot of the disc; all the veins are posteriorly indicated by 
dark fuscous scales; the hinder margin is spotted with black; cilia very 
pale ochreous. Posterior wings greyish-white, with a slight fuscous 
tinge ; some spots towards the apex of the hinder margin rather darker ; 
cilia whitish.
