Expansion of wings 7 lines. 



Head ashy grey. Palpi grey, the end of terminal joint black. 

 Antennae annulated, black and white alternately. Thorax ashy 

 grey. Anterior wings ashy grey, caused by dark atoms on a white 

 ground ; a longish black spot at the base on the costa ; two black 

 spots on the disc, one before, the other behind, the middle ; two 

 small opposite black spots beyond, one of them on the superior 

 the other on the inferior margin, and then a faint fascia. Inferior 

 wings leaden grey. Body ashy. 



Mr. J. F. Stephens has two specimens without a name. My 

 examples I received from Mr. S. Stevens, who took them on apple 

 trees. Neither Hiibner's figure nor Treitschke's description well 

 agree with our insect, inasmuch as three spots are represented and 

 described as in the centre of the wing, whereas in our moth there 

 are but two so situated, and the shape of the spots is not the same ; 

 but both Hiibner and Treitschke are quoted by Duponchel, and Ms 

 figure well represents our insect. Mr. Allis has Haworth's specimen.
