Since the figure of this was drawn from one of the two rather injured
specimens presented by Captain Grey, I have seen another specimen in
finer condition, from which I shall take the more particular description
of the bands on the upper wing.

The head and thorax are covered with long and close hairs; the tuft
between the eyes being of a brownish ochrey colour; the sides blackish.
The hairs on the fore-part of the thorax are ochrey-brownish, gradually
passing into white on its general surface, which however has more or less
of a yellowish tinge.

The upper wings are white and covered with longish loose scales. Near the
base is a narrowish transverse dark brown band, with another considerably
before the middle of the wing running parallel to it; behind the middle
there is a third band, the inner extremity being at the same distance
from the second band as the second is from the first; but it gradually
slopes away towards the outer margin, and is thus nearly parallel to the
posterior margin, which has also a brown band, scolloped behind, and with
at least eight spots on the margin, which is of a brownish yellow, as in
the outer margin.

The under-wings, from the base to the middle, and (narrowly) on the outer
margin and behind, are brownish ochrey; the other half of the wing is
blackish brown, scolloped behind; and having an indistinct ochrey band
passing transverse through it, which ochrey band has some darker-coloured
scales mixed with it.

The undersides of both wings differ but little from the upper sides; the
upper pair more especially however have on the basal and submarginal
parts longish ochrey coloured hairs instead of white scales.

The body above is, at the base, ochrey; the sides, and two or three other
segments brownish black, darkest just in front of the large thick-set
tuft of brownish orange hairs at the extremity; beneath, down the middle,
is a band of brownish orange, the segments to the sides of this being
black at the base and orange at the tip; the legs are varied with black
and ochrey white.

This seems congeneric with the Arcturus sparshalli of Mr. Curtis,
described in the 7th volume of the British Entomology, folio 336, as a
British insect; but there seems doubt of the correctness of this. The
name, having
