Black ; head and face rufous ; palpi grayish white; antennae yellowish 
gray, annulate with black, tips white; wings black, with a costal and 
dorsal white spot opposite each other just before the middle (sometimes 
united, forming a fascia), a white fascia (sometimes interrupted) beyond 
the middle, a costal white spot in the apical portion of the wing, and near 
the apex an obliquely curved costal white streak ; apical portion of the 
wing bronzy, iridescent, ciliae grayish brown; legs silvery white, in parts 
tinged with fuscous ; posterior wing fuscous. A/ar ex. less than 73 of an 
inch. 
The larva is found upon old stone walls and monuments in cemeteries. 
I do not know whether it feeds upen the hairs contained in the mortar of 
the walls or upon the mortar itself, or upon Lichens, but upon the wall 
where I have found it most abundantly, I have never found a trace of 
Lichens. The case is composed of silk and grains of lime. It is flat- 
tened, with the under surface truncate at each end, and the upper surface 
projects in shape something like the bowl of a spoon at each end; the 
sides are emarginate near each end. I have lost my notes upon the 
larva. ab. Kentucky and the Gulf States. 
It is one of the handsomest 777eæ known to me.
