Head and face dark ochreous-fuscous (in the § almost entirely fus- 
cous). Palpi pale grey. Antenne (of the & pectinated) dark fuscous. 
Anterior wings shining fuscous, with rather a yellowish tint; on the 
inner margin are two pale yellowish-white spots, one nearly in the mid- 
dle reaching to the fold, the other smaller, at the anal angle; on the 
dise, beyond the middle, is a faint indication of a dark spot; cilia 
fuscous. Posterior wings greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Common among birches, at the end of April. The larvee feed 
in cases on fallen leaves during the autumn and winter; when 
young they mine (according to Zeller) the leaves of the birch, in 
May and June, then descend by threads to the ground among the 
fallen leaves,

Head and face ochreous. Palpi whitish. Antenne simple in both sexes, 
fuscous. Anterior wings dark glossy fuscous, with two pale yellowish 
spots on the inner margin, one before the middle, the other at the anal 
angle; posterior to the latter, is a smaller spot on the costa. In the 9 
this spot is confluent with one immediately preceding it, and therefore 
of larger size; cilia dark fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with a 
slight purplish tint, with paler cilia. 
Not scarce; occurring in woods in June. The larvee feed in 
flat cases under the fallen leaves during the winter.

Tead and face ochreous. Palpi pale grey. Antenne fuscous. An-. 
terior wings dark fuscous, with a slight purple gloss; before the 
middle is a rather oblique pale yellowish fascia, much allenuated towards

pale yellowish opposite spots, of nearly equal size, that on the inner 
margin somewhat triangular, that on the costa more rounded and
