on the costa, and larger dark spot towards the inner margin near the 
base, are almost lost in the dark ground-colour); on the dise before the 
middle is a short oblique dark fuscous streak, and beyond the middle is a 
white spot on the disc, closely followed by the pale, not acutely angu- 
lated fascia, which is placed between two fuscous clouds; the hinder 
margin and apex of the costa are spotted with dark fuscous; cilia 
greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, towards the apex inclining 
to fuseous, with paler cilia. 
Not a scarce species; formerly I used to take it, at sugar, in 
July and August.

Head and face pale yellow, with a slight reddish tinge. Palpi red- 
dish-fuscous ; internally and the tip of the terminal joint pale yellowish. 
Antenne dark fuscous. Anterior wings reddish-fuscous, towards the 
base darker (whereby the dark spot at the base of the costa and the 
dark dash towards the inner margin near the base are almost oblite- 
rated), with numerous whitish scales; on the disc before the middle is 
an elongated whitish spot, and beyond the middie is a round whitish spot, 
the space between them being dark fuscous; the pale hinder fascia 
formed of whitish scales, begins on the costa rather before the middle, 
is rather sharply angulated and becomes very indistinct below the fold; 
cilia pale reddish-grey. Posterior wings whitish-grey, with paler cilia, 
with a slight reddish tint. 
A specimen of this conspicuous species, unique as British, is in 
Mr. Shepherd’s collection. The perfect insect appears in August.
