Labial palpi pale brownish-red, touched in front with pale gray. Head and 
thorax brownish-red, the latter varied with grayish and dark fuscous. Fore wings 
grayish-fuscous, with the costa touched with brownish-red, and a patch of the same 
hue in the female, near the base of the inner margin containing a tuft of raised scales; 
in the male, blackish-brown, touched with brownish-red. The base of the wing is 
whitish. In the middle of the wing is a broad white band, obsolete toward the costa, 
with two straight blackish-brown lines internally with the same hue. The subterminal 
line is irregular and whitish, dark-margined internally. The hinder margin of the 
wing is touched with blackish brown. Hind wings pale brown, somewhar darker 
toward the hinder margin. The larva is tortriciform in appearance. Head pale 
brown, mottled with whitish. Body with isolated hairs, pale green, with a dark 
brown dorsal line and a fainter stigmatal line of the same hue, or pale reddish, with 
a brown dorsal line on each side of the vascular. It makes a web on the under sur- 
face of the leaf of Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), drawing it together and living 
within a silken tube. The cocoon is woven on the surface of the ground, in form of 
a flattened oval, consisting of brown silk covered exteriorly with grains of earth. The 
larvee remain in it unchanged during the winter. It may be taken in July, and enters 
the pupa state during the latter part of August, to appear as an imago in May or | 
June. Expands, 20 to 25 mm.
