indicated by fuscous streaks); cilia pale greyish-ochreous. Posterior 
wings pale grey, towards the base whitish, with paler cilia. 
Taken in many places near London in the autumn, by beating

Head and face greyish-ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Palpi fuscous, 
internally pale greyish-ochreous ; terminal joint pale ochreous, with a 
ring at the base, a ring before the apex, and the extreme apex dark 
fuscous. Antenne fuscous, more than two-thirds the leneth of the 
anterior wings. Anterior wings reddish-fuscous, clouded with fuscous ; 
the blotch near the base of the inner margin is sharply defined towards 
the pale greyish-ochreous base of the wing, but less sharply defined to- 
wards the subcostal vein, where it terminates; on the dise before the 
middle are two black spots (of which the anterior is nearer the costa) ; 
they are generally followed by a few white scales, and beyond, in a line 
with the lower one, are two white spots, surrounded by some dark fus- 
cous scales; the pale hinder fascia is indistinct and obtusely angulated ; 
the costa and hinder margin are spotted with dark fuscous; cilia red- 
dish-fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, paler towards the base; cilia 
whitish-grey, with the tips not rufous. 
A most abundant species, flitting merrily along the leafless 
hedges in the early spring. ‘The perfect insect appears in July, 
and during the autumn is frequently met with by those beating 
thatch for the rarer species of the genus, but is rarely seen on the 
wing of its own accord. ‘The larva feeds in June on the leaves 
of Anthriscus sylvestris, Charophyllum temulentum, and several 
other Umbellifere, turning over a small portion of the leaf; it is 
extremely active.

Head and face reddish-brown. Palpi reddish-brown, internally pale 
ochreous; terminal joint dirty ochreous, with a ring at the base, a ring 
before the apex, and the apex itself dark fuscous. Antenne fuscous. 
Anterior wings pale reddish-brown, with a darker blotch on the inner 
margin near the base, reaching to the subcostal vein (the space between 
it and the base being frequently paler than the rest of the wing); on 
the dise before the middle are two black spots (the anterior nearer the
