 Posterior wings grey, with grey cilia. 



Appears in July among Ceutaurea nigra, but the perfect insect 

 is rarely met with, Tlic larva is more readily founds and is nearly 

 full-fed in ]\Iay; it has a nearly straight cylindrical dark brown 

 case, and makes rather transparent pale brownish Ijlotches on the 

 leaves of the Ceutaurea nigra. It has been found in various parts 

 of the country, near Liverpool, Dublin, Mickleham, etc.

Head, face, and jialpi bronzy-green. Antennnc; fuscous, with the 

 terminal joints white, the basal joint hardly thickened with bronzy-green 

 scales. Anterior wings extremely shining, bronzy-green, with the apex

Appears in June, and found occasionally in hedges and on 

 fences. The cases containing the full-fed larva or j)upa are found 

 in April or May attached to palings, trunks of trees, etc.; they 

 may be immediately recognized by the rugose projections on the 

 upper side, the mouth is turned round nearly at right angles, 

 whereby the case is parallel to the surface to which it is attached, 

 and is much less easily seen than if it projected, as usual, at an 

 angle of about 45°; in other respects the case has no peculiarity, 

 being rather short, straight, cylindric, but rather attenuated be- 

 hind. The larva which, 1 believe, belongs to this species, feeds
