throughout with fine, alternate, black and glossy white 

 streaks ; ocellus imperfect, a mere series of silvery white 

 dashes; hind margin edged by a black line; cilia greyish white. 

 Hind wings smoky white, with whiter cilia. J^^emale similar. 



Underside of the fore wings glossy pale lead colour ; costal 

 dots wiiite. Hind wings leaden white. 



On the wing in July. 



Larva apparently undescribed. Mr. G. Coverdale once 

 told me that he had found some larvae in November feeding 

 on the stems of Onohrychis sativa, from one of which he 

 reared a specimen of this species. 



This moth seems to have first been found here by Mr. 

 George Coverdale in the year 1883 on the cliffs near Dover. 

 Here he took a number of specimens among the sainfoin, and 

 afterwards found the larva as alreadj^ mentioned. I cannot 

 ascertain that it has been found with us in any other localit}' 

 than the original one on the coast of Kent. Abroad it in- 

 habits Southern Europe, Belgium, the Caucasian region, 

 and Asia Minor.
