TORTRICIDE. CARPOCAFSA. \23 



Ph. To. pupillana. Linn^.—Se. piipillana. Steph. Caial. ii. 179. No. 6979. 



Anterior wings white, ashy at the base, with a slender fascia before, and 

 another similar one behind, the middle of a slightly olivaceous hue : beyond 

 these, nearly at the anal angle, is a somewhat ocellar spot, of which the iris 

 anteriorly is also olivaceous, but posteriorly obliterated; the pupil is com- 

 posed of three silvery longitudinal dots, and numerous minute deep black 

 ones : costa with two or three olivaceous dots : cilia white : posterior wings 

 brown, with silvery cilia. 



The anterior wings are sometimes white, with the markings completely obli- 

 terated. 



The caterpillar feeds on the wormwood ; and the moth occurs where that 

 plant grows, chiefly, however, on the coasts. 

 Found in June, on the coasts of Devonshire and Pembrokeshire ; 



also on those of Essex and Kent ; most abundantly in the former 



locality.
