on the dise before the middle are two black spots (of which the an- 
terior is nearer the costa) ; beyond the middle are two more remote, of 
which the anterior is rather obsolete; a pale hinder fascia is hardly in- 
dicated at all; the hinder margin spotted with dark fuscous ; cilia pale 
greyish-ochreous. Posterior wings whitish-grey, with paler cilia. 
A scarce species, hitherto only taken singly in various localities 
in the south, in July and August.

‘Head and face pale greyish-ochreous. Palpi pale greyish-ochreous, 
internally pale ochreous; terminal joint pale ochreous, with a ring at 
the base, a ring before the apex, and the apex itself fuscous, Antenne 
fuscous. Anterior wings very pale greyish-ochreous, with numerous 
fuscous scales, with a reddish-fuscous cloud on the inner margin near 
the base, extending rather obliquely towards the subcostal vein; on 
the dise before the middle are two dark fuscous spots (of which the 
anterior is nearer the costa, and the posterior is rather elongated) ; i 
a line with the upper spot is a fuscous blotch, below which are some crim- 
son scales, which also encircle a white spot beyond, and nearly in a line 
with the lower of the first two spots; the pale angulated hinder fascia 
is rather indistinct ; the binder margin and costa are spotted with dark 
fuscous ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, with a slight reddish tinge. Pos- 
terior wings whitish, with paler cilia. 
Not unfrequent among sallows in the spring. The perfect in- 
sect appears in August, but is then rarely met with. The larva 
feeds on sallows in July.

Head pale greyish-ochreous. Face pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochre- 
ous; second joint externally pale fuscous; terminal joint with a ring 
at the base, a ring before the apex, and the apex itself fuscous. An-

nearly to the subcostal vein; on the disc before the middle are two 
black spots (the anterior nearer the costa); they are closely followed 
by a fuscous blotch, beyond which and nearly in a line with the lower 
of the first two spots is a white spot surrounded by fuseous ; hinder
