Expansion of the wings 3^ — 4 lines Head white. Forehead white. Palpi 

 white. Antennae white, annulated with fuscous. Thorax white. Abdomen fuscous, 

 with the extremity fulvous. Legs white. Tarsi white, annulated with black. Ante- 

 rior wings white, interspersed with fuscous atoms, with three fuscous patches on the 

 costa and two on the inner margin : the first costal patch is about the middle of the 

 wing, is slanting, and with the extremity somewhat continued towards the apex of the 

 wing ; the second is similar to it, but of a deeper colour, and with a black line at its 

 extremity ; the third is at the apex of the wing, also terminating in a black line : the 

 first inner marginal patch is in the middle of the wing, and forms very nearly a semi- 

 circle ; it has a dark line on its inner margin ; the second is situated at the anal an- 

 gle ; the irrorations are sometimes so thick on the inner margin near the base as to 

 present the appearance of a third patch : cilia fuscous, with a dark arch round the 

 apex. Posterior wings clear gray; cilia paler and fulvescent 



Distinguished from the preceding by the anterior wings being much narrower, and 

 by the two black lines towards the apex, instead of the black dots as in rhamnifoliella. 



Some years ago I beat several specimens of this insect out of a hawthorn hedge 

 near Lewisham, at the end of May ; and last year, in May, I took two very fine spe- 

 cimens off a low fence near Beckenham.

Expansion of the wings 3| lines. Head grayish fulvous. Forehead white. Palpi 

 white. Antenna? pale, annulated with fuscous. Thorax grayish fulvous. Abdomen 

 fuscous, with the extremity fulvous. Legs whitish. Tarsi whitish, with two dark fus- 

 cous spots. Anterior wings griseous fulvous, with two darker patches on the costa, 

 one before, the other beyond the middle, the second terminating in a black line ; about 

 the middle of the inner margin is a dark patch, edged with brown on its upper mar- 

 gin ; the space between this and the apex of the wing is dark, with the exception of a 

 pale mark just beyond this patch ; the costal half of the apex is also dark, and there is 

 a fuscous indistinct streak at the base of the wing : cilia pale fuscous, with a dark arch 

 round the apex of the wing. Posterior wings clear gray ; cilia paler and slightly 

 fulvous. 



I took a little swarm of this insect at Riddlesdown last May 31st : they were flying
