is nearer to the costa); beyond is a dark fuscous blotch touching the 
costa, and terminating in a dark red spot; the indications of a pale 
hinder fascia ave extremely slight; along the costa are some short dark 
fuscous streaks, and at the apex of the hinder margin are a few black 
spots; cilia pale greyish-ochreous. Posterior wings pale grey, towards 
the apex rather darker, with whitish-grey cilia. 
Not a common species; appears in August, and hybernated 
specimens sometimes occur in April. Mr. Harding discovered 
the larva last summer, feeding in the umbels of hemlock (Coniwm 
maculatum).

are two black spots frequently connected, the lower and posterior one is 
rather elongated; on the dise beyond the middle are éwo short black
