The imago appears in June and July, and is distributed 

 throughout the country. It occurs also in the vicinity of 

 Dublin. 



The pupa is pale chestnut-brown, 5 lines in length, and en- 

 closed in a white silken web. 



The larva feeds in the shoots of the Bramble and Raspberry,

 colour, 7 lines in length. The head is small, black, and shining ; 

 labrurn brown ; shield black, edged with brown at sides, and in 

 front divided by a slender dorsal line. The warts or spots are 

 oval, elevated, and chestnut-brown. Anal segment with a black 

 oval patch edged with brown.
