beyond the brown space, and therefore a little be3"ond the middle 

 of the wing, commences a pale lemon-yellow patch, which is con- 

 tinued toward the apex, bearing the following markings : first, 

 two bright silver spots, each touching the brown preceding space, 

 and each carrying a jet-black dot on the side opposite to it ; 

 beyond these, at a distance equal to about the middle of the' 

 wing, are two corresponding spots of bright silver scales, but 

 with only one or two black scales attached, the yellow ground-

 white along the costa and dorsum to the apex, the margins being- 

 separated by a short olive-brown dash reaching the extreme apex ; 

 cilia brownish grey. Exp. cd. 9-10 mm. Hinclwings pale grey, 

 cilia brownish gi'ey. Abdomen yelloAvish. Legs white, shaded

Nearest to similis Wlsm., but differing in the continuation of 

 the yellow band beyond the outer pair of silver spots, giving the 

 wing a much lighter appearance ; in this respect it agrees with 

 quadrilineella Chmb., but differs in having five white lines in 

 the dark basal area of the wing, of these the subcostal, the median, 

 and the dorsal arise from the base.
