Head dull, dark fuscous, paler in front. Face fuscous above, 

 greyish below. Eyes dull dark brown. Palpi fuscous at the apex,

 olive-drab at the base. On the costa, before the middle, is a widely 

 geminated white metallic lustrous streak ; at the middle is a narrower 

 one, produced obliquely to the middle of the wing ; bright and of a 

 slightly violet lustrous tinge; beyond are two more geminated streaks, 

 like the first in character and colour. The apical spot distinct, with a 

 pale lustrous mark below. On the dorsal margin, beyond the middle, 

 is a curved whitish blotch of a pale violet tinge, produced half across 

 the disk, directed towards the apex, and divided by a streak running 

 through. At the anal angle is a broad, pale-violet, bright-lustred 

 streak, dilating towards the apex, and meeting, but not joining to, the 

 produced streak from the costa. Apical scales umber, interrupted 

 beneath the apical spot. Cilia glossy, dark fuscous, paler at the anal 

 angle. Posterior wings pearly white, softening narrowly into fuscous 

 at the apex and apical margin. Marginal scales white, at the apex

 with only one streak down the centre. 



The imago appears at the end of May among furze-bushes, 

 and is abundant in Epping Forest, flying in company with 

 Grapholita Ulicetana.
