terior wings pale ochreous, almost entirely suffused with fuscous, with 
three dark fuscous spots, one on the dise, one on the fold rather poste- 
rior before the middle, and a larger one on the dise beyond the middle ; 
cilia fuseous. Posterior wings pale greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Very abundant in old hedges in July and August.

lute ochreis, fusco valde suffusis, punctis tribus saturate fuscis (uno disci, 
altero plicee vix posteriore ante medium, tertio disci pone medium) ;

Head brownish-ochreous. Face pale brownish-ochreous. Palpi pale 
ochreous, internally spotted with dark fuscous. Antenne fuscous. An- 
terior wings pale ochreous, much suffused with fuscous, with three dark 
fuscous spots, one on the dise, one on the fold hardly posterior to it 
before the middle, and one on the disc beyond the middle ; the hinder 
margin and apex of the costa are spotted with dark fuscous ; cilia ochre- 
ous-fuscous. Posterior wings whitish-grey, with paler cilia. 
Abundant in London and in many parts of the country, in July 
and August. Mr. H. Doubleday sent me a number of the larvee 
last January, feeding on dry peas. 
Genus XXII. G&AGOCONTIA. 
@eoconra, Guenée in lit. Gceophora p., Zell. 
Capilli depressi, postice suberecti. Ocelli nulli. Antenne erassiuscule, 
articulo basali inerassato. Haustellum medioere, squamatum. Palpi 
maxillares breves, filiformes. Palpi labiales reflexi, compressi, arti- 
culo terminali tenui, acuto. Alze elongatee, posteriores angulo anali 
distincto, plaga basali nuda nulla; anteriores: yense apicalis ramus 
inferior supra apicem exit; yen subdorsalis fucata ; posteriores : 
cellula costalis elongata, postice attenuata; vena apicalis furcata ; e 
venula transversa vena unica procedit. 
Head smooth, behind rather rough. Ocelli none. Antenne rather 
thick, with thickened basal joint. Tongue moderately long, clothed 
with scales. Maxillary palpi short, filiform. Labial palpi reflexed, 
compressed ; terminal joint slender, pointed. Wings elongate; the 
posterior with distinet anal angle, with xo bare basal pateh. In the 
anterior wings the lower branch of the apical vein runs into the costa 
before the apex ; the subdorsal vein is furcate; in the posterior wings 
the elongate costal cell is posteriorly attenuated ; the apical vein is fw 
cate, and a single vein proceeds from the transverse vein, 
Only one species is known in this genus, which, from its habits, 
T had anticipated would be congeneric with Hudrosis fenestrella ; 
the above characters sufficiently distinguish it,
