 lower wood at Frankfort, on Cerastiwn semidecandrum, 

 amongst a large, thin web on the stem near the root. The 

 larva changed to the pupa state in a slight thin cocoon, and 

 the moth appeared the beginning of July. (1857.)

Head, thorax and abdomen yellowish-white ; the last joint

 colour is more predominating ; and here on the outer margin
