very dense web, and loose silken galleries along the branehes. I found 
these larve at the beginning of February, near Castle Hill; from their 
habit I was led to expect one of the Pyralidina. They are doubtless not 
confined to this food-plant.

from before middle of costa to anal angle, anterior edge connected with 
basal patch above middle and on inner margin by cloudy fuscous bars, 
posterior edge giving rise in middle to a strong irregular projection almost
