ELACIIISTA. 25 1» 



uliicli is less sharply defined than the inner edge being veiy nearly 

 straight ; cilia grey, but at the apex, beyond the (lark hinder marginal 

 line, yellowish. I'osterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Common in jiedges in May and August, The larva feuds in 

 March and A])ril, in the upper part of the leaves of a coarse- 

 growing grass (T had thought this grass was Melica imijlora, 

 but am now doubtful on that point ; it is not a very easy matter 

 to distinguish cacli species of grass from an examination of the 

 leaf only) ; its mines are rather puckered and brownish ; the sum- 

 mer brood of the larva I have not observed.
