one slightly aiigulated on the disc before the anal angle (the space be- 

 tween these two is brownish), the third is on the fold; cilia pale grey. 

 Posterior wings pale grey, with ochreous-grey cilia. 



A single specimen was taken by Mr. Bedell, in Headlcy-lanc, 

 near Micklehara, July 12th, 1847. The larva feeds on Centaurea 

 scabiosa, in a rather large, slightly-curved, somewhat flattened 

 brown case. Mr. S. Stevens has twice found it in the hilly field 

 at Ileadley-lane, in June, but has not succeeded in breeding the 

 perfect insect.
