 the "frass" near the surface. The larva is immaculate, and 

 varies in colour, from dark reddish-brown to a pale brown, 

 dotted with rows of darker-coloured dots, each giving rise to 

 a hair; the head is brown and the shield blackish. The 

 imago appears about the middle of June. 



Size small. Fore-wings rather lanceolate and pointed. Hind- 

 wings deeply emarginate beneath the tip, which is

 thickened.

 with white. Thorax fuscous, deep fuscous in front. Fore-
