opposite to it on the inner mari^in is a small silver)/ streak, terriunafhuj 

 in a inetaUlc streak, which runs to the apex of the tcinr/s. Posterior 

 wings grey, witli paler cilia. 



Appears in ]\{ay and August, but rarely met with in tlic perfect 

 state. The larva is excessively abundani, mining the under side 

 of the leaves of the elm in autumn ami in July ; it forms a bluish- 

 green cocoon.

Head rcddish-oehreous. Face and palpi white. Antennpc whitish, 

 annulated witii fuscous, the tip white. Anterior wings rcddish-oehre- 

 ous, inclining to brownish ; in the middle of the base is a small unniar- 

 gined yellowish spot, then follow three whitish fasciae;, all with dark 

 margins internally, gradually shading off to the ground-colour, the two 

 first are nearly straight, the third is angulatcd, and from its anyle a 

 whitish streak runs into the casta at the apex ; beneath this streak lie 

 the apical black scales. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Not uncommon in May and iVugust. it has been bred by Mr. 

 Grant and Mr. Dunning, from larvcT found in elm -leaves in au- 

 tumn, and not distinguished at the time from the larva? of Scl/re-

Head reddish-ochrcous. Face and i)alpi whitish. Antennte whitish, 

 annulatcfl with fuscous. Anterior wings reddisli-ochreous, with three 

 slender whitish fascia.', bordered with black towards the base of the 

 wing, most broadly on the eosta; the first fascia is only slightly cm'ved, 

 the second is angulatcd above the middle, the third is angulatcd and 

 frequently interru])ted in the middle, whence some black scales arc 

 contiimed to the anal angle ; on the costa before the apex is a short 

 whitish streak, preceded by a few black scales ; below it are the black 

 scales of the apex of the wing. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Connnon generally, but very abundant in J)evonshire; appears 

 in May, August, and November. The larva feeds in April, July, 

 and autumn, in the under side of the leaves of the honeysuckle ; 

 its mine is rather small, and it twists the leaf at a right angle.
