Head ochreous-grey. Face and palpi dirty-yellowish. Antenne 
fuscous. Anterior wings shining fuscous, with numerous yellow dots, and 
two conspicuous yellow spots on the inner margin, one before the middle, 
the other near the anal angle, and four smaller yellow spots on the costa ; 
cilia fuscous, with the tips round the apex white. Posterior wings 
fuseous, with paler cilia. 
Not uncommon among raspberry-bushes in June. ‘The larva 
feeds under the fruit when young, hybernates without feeding, 
and in the spring bores down the stems of the young shoots. 
Genus IX. LAMPROSETTIA, n. ¢. 
Capilli superne ac in fronte depressi, udroque latere supra oculos floc- 
culo usque ad verticem producto. Ocelli nulli. Palpi maxillares 
breves. Palpi labiales cylindrici, tenues. Antenne alis anteriori- 
bus breviores. Haustellum subnullum. Ale latiusculee, mediocriter 
ciliatee. 
Head above and in front smooth, with hairs arising on each side above 
the eyes, reaching nearly to the crown. Ocelli none. Maxillary palpi 
short. Labial palpi cylindrical, slender. Antenne shorter than the 
anterior wings. ‘Tongue hardly perceptible. Wings rather broad, 
with moderate cilia. 
This singular genus contains only one species; the larva of 
which feeds on “ capillaire” (according to Bruaud).

Head and face black. Palpi whitish. Antenne black. Anterior 
wings blackish, with a slight violet gloss; cilia paler. Posterior wings 
pale fuscous, with a violet gloss, with grey cilia. 
The only British specimens I have seen were taken by Mr. 
Allen Hill, near Bristol; they are in very bad condition, Von 
Heyden says of it, “very easily rubbed.”
