Head and face pale ochreous. I'alpi pale ochreous, internally wliitisli; 

 terminal joint pale ochreous, with a dark fuscous ring before the a[)ex. 

 Antenufie fuscescent, darker at the base. Anterior wings rather narrow, 

 pale (jreyisli-ochreons, with lunnerous fuscous scales, especially towards 

 the apex, loith a black spot at the base of the costa, and one near the inner 

 margin close lo the base; at the base of the fold are a few black scales ; 

 on the disc are two pale spots (one before, the other beyond the mid- 

 dle), in the centre of each are a few fuscous scales, giving them an 

 annulated appearance ; cilia pale ochreous. Posterior wings whitish- 

 grey, with grcyish-ochreous cilia. 



This occurs in company with the Depi-essar'ue, which it some- 

 what resembles, in old thatch at Folkslonc in September; also in 

 the Isle of Wight. ^I have a specimen taken at Lewisham in June; 

 hence the species is jn'obalily double-brooded.
