on the disc before the middle are two black spots (of which the an- 

 terior is nearer the costa) ; beyond the middle are two more remote, of 

 which the anterior is rather obsolete ; a pale hinder fascia is hardly in- 

 dicated at all ; the hintler margin spotted with dark fuscons ; cilia pale 

 greyish-ochreons. Posterior wings whitisli-grey, with paler cilia. 



A scarce species, hitherto only taken singly in various localities 

 in the south, in July and August.

licad and face pale greyish-ochreous. Palpi pale greyish-ochreons, 

 internally pale ochreons ; terminal joint pale ochreons, with a ring at 

 the l)ase, a ring before the apex, antl the apex itself fnscons. Antennae 

 fuscous. Anterior wings very pale greyish-ochreous, with numerous 

 fuscous scales, with a rcddish-l'uscous cloud on the inner margin near 

 the base, extending rather obliquely towards the subcostal vein ; on 

 the disc before the middle arc two dark fuscous sjiots (of which the 

 anterior is nearer the costa, and the ]iosterior is rather elongated) ; in 

 a line with the upper spot is a fuscous blotch, below which are some crim- 

 son scales, which also encircle a white spot beyond, and Jiearly in a line 

 with the lower of the first two spots; the pale angulated hinder fascia 

 is rather indistinct ; the hinder margin and costa are spotted with dai-k 

 fuscous ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, with a slight reddish tinge. Pos- 

 terior wings whitish, with paler cilia. 



Not uufrequent among sallows in the spring. The perfect in- 

 sect appears in August, but is then rarely met with. The larva 

 feeds on sallows in July.
