three dorsal streaks snowy-white, dark-margined towards the base of 

 the winp;; the apical black streak is rather short. Posterior wings 

 grey, with paler cilia. 



Abundant in May and August, 'riic larva mines the vpper side 

 of the leaves of the nut ; the large white blotches it makes arc 

 very conspicuous ; when fuU-lcd it causes the leaf to pucker very 

 considerably, consccpiently, by the distortion of the leaf^ the age 

 of the larva may be known.

Head pale salTron. Face and palpi white. Antenna^ white, with 

 faintly darker annulations. Hinder tarsi white, unspotted. Anterior 

 wings shining pale saftVon-yellow, with a slender white basal streak 

 dark-margined towards the costa, and with four costal and three dorsal 

 streaks white, with dark margins (sometimes very faint) towards the 

 base of the wing ; the apical streak is ovate and blackish. Posterior 

 wings pale grey, with paler cilia. 



Common in August. The larva mines tlie underside of the 

 sloe-leaves in July. The variety ? dejle.vella (which dillcrs only 

 in having the anterior wings irrorated with pale fuscous, and the 

 basal streak dejiected into the first dorsal streak,) is common 

 among sloe-bushes in May; it is probably only the other brood 

 of spinicolella.

Head pale salTron-ycllow. Pace and jialpi white. Anlcnnns white, 

 annnlatcd with very pale fuscous. Hinder tarsi entirely whitish, or 

 spotted with very pale fuscous. Anterior wings j)ale saflVon-yellow, 

 with a straight, vnmaryined, white basal streak, and with four costal and 

 three dorsal white streaks, which have distinct and broad dark mortjins 

 towards the base of the wing ; between the second pair of spots are 

 frerpiently some dark scales on the disc; the black apical streak is 

 rather oval. Posterior wings pale grey, with ochreous-grey cilia. 



Abundant in May and August. The larva mines the under- 

 side of the beech-leaves in autumn and July.
