HYPENA LIVIDALIS.
A smaller moth than the last specimen described. The fore-wings are olive-brown, violet-grey towards the margins. The two colours are separated by an oblique whitish line from the apex to the middle of the inner margin. The hind-wings are grey, shading off lighter to the base, and are veined with brown. It is not an English species, but is very commonly found in Teneriffe, on rough ground, among cactus, &c., in the early spring, at no great distance from the coast. It inhabits South Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia.
