Head, face, and palpi wliitisli. Aiitcnu.T white, spotted with fuscous 

 beneath, the basal joint slightly thickened, with a few projecting grey- 

 ish scales beneath. Anterior wings white, with slender ochreous veins ; 

 cilia greyish. Posterior wings grey, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 



Common among Ec/tium vulgare in July. The larva feeds on 

 that plant from autumn to June, in cases foi'med of pieces of the 

 mined leaves ; these cases are very broad, almost triangular, dirty 

 grey, and from the promiuent stiif hairs of the leaves have a sin- 

 gular appearance; the young larv;e, in autumn, mine snllieient 

 for the construction of the case, but do not detach it from the 

 leaf till the spring, it consecpiently only appears as a })orlion of 

 withered leaf. The larva was first observed by Brahni on Oiio-rma 

 echio'uJes ; it feeds also on Anchusa.

Head, face, and palpi pale ochreous. Autennaj whitish, annulated

 ochreous, posteriorly conlluent ; the costa is narrowly white to near 

 the apex; cilia ochreous. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Appears in June and July in grassy places, but hitherto very 

 scarce; I only know of two specimens which 1 can unhesitatingly 

 refer to this species, of which one is in Mr. AVilkinson's collec- 

 tion, and the other in my own.
