Head, face, and palpi white. Antennai white, annulated with pale 

 fuscous, the basal joint with a long whitish tuft. Anterior wings white, 

 ?cith numerous scattered fuscous scales, especially towards the apex ; cilia 

 white, with the ends fuscous. Posterior wings fuscous, with paler cilia. 



Not uncommon in hedges in June and July. The larva has a 

 brown-black case, somewhat in the form of a pistol, wliicli (ac- 

 cording to Eeaumur's observations) is entirely constructed of silk 

 spun by the larva, and afterwards coloured by a ])eculiar viscid 

 secretion of the larva; the larva is not uncommon in i\lay, on 

 sloe and other trees.

 with the veins towards the apex indlstiuctti/ fuscous, ami the extreme 

 costa fuscous ; cilia pale fuscous. Posterior wings fuscous, with paler 

 cilia. 



Not an uncommon species, ajipcaring in June and .luly. The 

 larva is polyphagous. ]\[r. Bond met with it ])l(!niil'uily on sallow 

 a few years back; the case somewhat resembles that of the ))r(V 

 ceding^, but has in addition a large appendage or ihip on each side, 

 almost entirely concealing the actual case; these ihips, like the 

 case, are (according 4o Keaumur's observations) entirely formed of 

 silk.
