before the pale ochreous apex, dark fuscous. Antenna fuscous. An- 
terior wings greyish-fuscous, with a very slight reddish tinge, with nu- 
merous longitudinal fuscous streaks; the base of the costa and a small 
spot near the inner margin, towards the base, are dark fuscous; on the 
disc are two dark fuscous spots (one before, the other beyond the mid- 
dle), surrounded by some whitish scales; the pale hinder fascia is ea- 
tremely angulated, and its apex approximates towards the apex of the 
wing ; the hinder margin and apexof the costa are spotted with dark 
fuscous; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with paler cilia. 
Many specimens have been obtained in various parts of the 
country in September, by beating old thatch. The larva feeds 
(according to Mr. Allen Hill) in July in the umbels of Cicuta 
virosa. (If the continental Daucedla be identical, the larva also 
feeds on Phellandrium aquaticum, changing to the pupa state 
within the stem of that plant.)
