100 GELECHIDA®. 
dark fuscous blotch near the inner margin towards the base; before the 
middle are three dark fuscous spots (one on the fold, one above it on the 
dise, and one rather anterior a little towards the costa); in a line with 
the middle one are éeo other dark fuscous spots on the disc, the space 
between which is generally paler than the ground-colour of the wing ; 
beyond is the pale rather indistinct angulated fascia; the hinder mar- 
gin and apex of the costa are spotted with fuscous ; cilia pale greyish- 
ochreous. Posterior wings whitish-grey, posteriorly fuscescent, with 
very pale greyish-ochreous cilia. 
Not common; occurs at Mickleham and Folkstone, in Septem-

37. Heracliana, De Geer, ii. 1. 407 (1771) ; Step.—Heracleana, 
Zell.; Sta.; Linn. ?—Heraclei, Retz. ; Haw.—zambellana, Pab.?  Alis 
anticis latiusculis grisco-ochreis, striis numerosis fuscis, punctis tribus 
disci (primo ante, secundo et tertio post medium) saduratioribus albido- 
cinctis, fascia postica pallida angulata. xp. al. 12-18 lin. 
Head and face greyish-ochreous. Palpi fuscous, internally pale

lowish apex. Antenne greyish-ochreous, with fuscous annulations. 
Anterior wings rather broad, greyish-ochreous, with numerous short 
fuscous longitudinal streaks; at the base of the costa is a fuscous spot, 
and a fuscous dash lies near the inner margin towards the base; on the 
dise are three darker spots (one before, the others beyond the middle), 
surrounded by some whitish scales; the pale hinder fascia is rather 
acutely angulated; the hinder margin and apex of the costa are spotted 
with dark fuscous; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, varied with fuscous.

Generally distributed throughout the country; appearing in 
August and September, but hybernated specimens are more fre- 
quently met with in April. The larva feeds on the leaves and in 
the umbels of Heraclewn Sphondylium, changing to the pupa 
either on the ground or within the stem of that plant.
