Head and face yellowish. Palpi pale grey. Antenne greyish. An- 
terior wings yellowish, with numerous blackish spots, of which one in the 
middle of the costa sometimes united with one rather beyond it on the 
inner margin, and two opposite spots beyond the middle, also some- 
times united into a fascia, are the most conspicuous; the hinder mar-

yellowish-grey. Posterior wings pale grey, with paler cilia. 
This species, by no means common, has been taken in August, 
near Bristol. It is probably double-brooded, appearing also in 
May; the larva (according to Bruand) feeds in a case, on old 
fences.
