Head and f;^oe reddisk-i/eUow. Palpi whitish, AntemicC fuscous, 

 basal joint whitish. Anterior wings shining fuscous, with a purple 

 tinge wlilcU begins before the middle of the wing ; beyond the middle is 

 a nearly straight, shining, whitish, rather silvery fascia ; cilia fuscous. 

 Posterior wangs pale grey, with pale grey cilia. 



Appears in May and August, but I believe not liitlierto met 

 witli in the perfect state. The larva mines in the leaves of the 

 sloe in autumn and July, making large whitish fjlotehes ; in some 

 places it is exceedingly plentiful ; the cocoon is rather ilat.
