Anterior wings dusky-black, with a broad white transverse fascia before the 

 middle, rounded on its outer edge, and an indistinct somewhat interrupted 

 one towards the apex; the latter somewhat cinerascent, with a row of 

 minute black dots ; and on the disc are three or four other black dots : cilia 

 and posterior wings fuscous : head white : antenna black, animlated with 

 white. 



Caterpillar feeds on fruit-trees : the imago appears about the end of June in 

 orchards and gardens. 



This species, from its lengthened, divaricating, and somewhat ascending 

 palpi, makes a close approach to Anacampsis, with which genus it may be 

 advisable to associate it. 



Common in gardens in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, cspe 

 cially about South Lambeth; frequent also at Kipley and Hertford. 



D. Anterior wings with a coloured rounded patch at the apex, bordered by a 



darker ring: — Tebenna, Hiibner.
