‘his beautiful insect is abundant in granaries (throughout the 
globe P); the larva is stated to reside in a ease connecting several 
grains of corn together by means of its silken threads; its ravages 
have been most observed in September and October (but I think 
a second brood feeding in July extremely probable); the perfect 
insect appears in June.

Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi whitish; second joint externally 
fuscous. Antenne fuscous. Anterior wings whitish-ochreous, some- 
what suffused with pale fuscous, and with several dark fuscous spots, 
of which, three on the costa are very conspicuous, one at the base not 
reaching to the fold, a short one before the middle, and « somewhat elon- 
gated one beyond the middle connected with a longitudinal streak on the 
disc, beyond this are two smaller fuscous spots, and a larger dark fuscous 
spot lies towards the apex; on the fold before the middle is a dark fus- 
cous spot; the hinder margin is interruptedly dark fuscous; cilia dark 
fuscous, with pale ochreous patches. Posterior wings dark grey, with 
a slight purplish tinge, with paler cilia. 
Abundant throughout the country, frequenting old hedgerows 
in May and August. The larva feeds in fungi and decayed wood, 
and probably does not do us any mischief.
