DO LEPIDOPTERA. 



apex of the antennae is generally unannulated. The case of 

 the larva is very different. 



Alis anticis saturate brunneo-ochreis, costa anguste albida, postice 

 ochrea ; antennis albis, fusco-annulatis, articulo basali ochreo, non peni- 

 cillato. Exp. al. 5 — 6 lin. 



Head, face and palpi pale ochreous. Antennae white, annulated with 

 fuscous; the basal joint pale ochreous, hardly as robust as in badiipen- 

 nella ; the extreme apex is frequently entirely whitish, without annula- 

 tions. Anterior wings dark brownish-ochreous, the costa narrowly whitish 

 to beyond the middle (yet more broadly and less sharply margined than in 

 badiipennella) ; cilia ochreous, inclining to fuscous towards the anal 

 angle. Posterior wings greyish fuscous, cilia rather darker. 



GONIODOMA AUROGUTTELLA, F. v. R. (See 

 frontispiece, fig. 4.) A single specimen was taken by Mr. S. 

 Stevens, in the Isle of Wight, last August, on the banks of 

 the Yar, near Yarmouth, by sweeping the herbage. The 

 larva (figured in Fischer) feeds in an angulated case on the 

 seeds of Atri-plex (its case resembling in form and colour 

 the rhomboidal perigone of the fruit) ; in autumn, when the 

 larva is full fed, it attaches its case to the lower part of the 

 stem of the food plant, and boring into the interior, spins a 

 white silken cocoon there, leaving its case attached to the 

 exterior of the stem ; it remains unchanged in this cocoon 

 during the winter, but in spring it assumes the pupa state, and 

 the perfect insect appears in July. According to the obser- 

 vations of Fischer and Mann, it frequents only those plants 

 which grow in very sheltered situations. 



Alis anticis luteis, strigis duabus argenteis altera costa?, altera plicae, 

 tertia abbreviata disci, maculis quinque dilute aureis pone medium, atro- 

 squamatis. Exp. al. \\ lin. 



Head, face and palpi whitish. Antennae white, annulated with black, 

 the tip of the yellowish basal tuft fuscous. Anterior wings yellow, with 

 two silvery streaks from the base to beyond the middle, one along the 

 costa and one along the fold ; between these is a shorter streak in the 

 middle of the wing; beyond the middle are five or six pale golden spots,
