a rather wavy flight. Of the other species of the genus we are 
not aware of more than one brood, though by analogy a hyber- 
nating autumnal brood is extremely probable. ‘The larva of J/- 
gerellus (according to Fischer’s observations in Treitschke) differs 
considerably in habit, feeding singly on Agopodium Podagraria 
between several leaves drawn together.

1848. Alis anticis obscure albidis, postice fusco et ustulato suffusis 
fascia in medio ustulata, prope costam fusca, maculis duabus dorsi, una

Head and face dirty-grey. Palpi grey. Antenne fuscous. Anterior 
wings dirly-whitish, with a tawny fascia in the middle, darkest on the 
costa; beyond which the wing is much suffused with tawny and fus- 
cous, leaving only two spots on the inner margin, one on the dise and 
one on the costa of the whitish ground-colour; immediately below the 
spot on the dise is a black dot; the basal portion of the wing is much 
suffused with grey, and two or three darker spots are sometimes con- 
spicuous; three tufts of black scales project from the inner margin ; 
cilia greyish-tawny. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Has occurred sparingly on the downs beyond Croydon (at 
Stoat’s-nest), at the end of July and beginning of August.

Head and face ochreous. Palpi ochreous; the third joint with a 
broad fuscous ring. Antenne greyish-fuscous. Anterior wings pale 
ochreous, irregularly varied with fuscous ; a dark streak extends obliquely 
from the inner margin near the base more than half across towards the 
costa; before the middle is a fuscous fasciaform streak curved and eu- 
panded on the costa, and emitting a branch to the anal angle ; there is 
also a fuscous blotch on the apex of the wing; on the dise are two 
black spots, one before, the other beyond the middle; from the inner 
margin project two tufts of black scales; cilia fuscous, varied with 
ochreous, and having a decidedly faleate appearance. Posterior wings 
fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Appears in July; the larva feeding (according to Fischer) on 
Aiyopodium Podagraria in May. Has occurred in several locali- 
ties near Hastings, Brighton, in the Cambridgeshire fens, ete.
