CLOSTERA ANACHORETA.

Localities for this species are near London. 



The caterpillar is yellowish, or reddish grey, with longi- 

 tudinal interrupted lines, and alternating black and yellow 

 spots on the sides, a small reddish prominence on the 

 twelfth segment, and a larger one on the fifth, also a white 

 spot on each side. This is one account; another, and I 

 believe a more correct one, is as follows: It is slightly 

 covered with yellowish hair and has a broad pale buff band 

 along the back, below which on either side is a slate-black 

 band, with some dull orange spots, and beneath this the 

 prevailing colour is orange, the spots above being brighter, 

 the head black, and on the fourth segment is a dull pink- 

 red raised spot surrounded by a black patch, in which, on 

 either side of the prominence, is a conspicuous white spot; 

 on the lesser segment is another similar but smaller promi- 

 nence. 



The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is 

 from June to October. 



It feeds on the willow and the poplar.
