brunneo-ochreis, apicem versus fusco-suffusis, punctis tribus (primo 
plicie, secundo posteriore disci ante medium, tertio disci pone medium) 
fuscis, fascia pone medium fusca ad costam et dorsum saturatiore, postice 
in medio producta, fasciaque postica angulata pallida. Exp. al. 9 lin. 
Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous, internally whitish. 
Antennze fuscous, annulated with ochreous. Anterior wings pale brown- 
ish-ochreous ; before the middle are two fuscous spots, one on the fold, 
the other posterior on the dise; beyond the middle is another fuscous 
spot on the disc; it is followed by a fuscous fascia, which is most distinct 
on the costa and inner margin, in the middle it is a little produced pos- 
teriorly ; beyond it is a pale angulated fascia of the ground-colour, the 
apical portion of the wing being suffused with fuscous; the hinder 
margin and apex of the costa are alternately fuscous and pale ochreous ; 
cilia pale greyish-ochreous, intersected by a fuscous line. Posterior 
wings pale grey, with greyish-ochreous cilia. 
A common species in gardens, frequenting hollyhocks in June 
and July. The larva feeds in the seeds of the hollyhock in Sep- 
tember and October; when full-fed descending to the earth, in 
which it constructs a cocoon, and remains unchanged throughout 
the winter.

Head greyish-fuscous. Face paler. Palpi greyish-fuscous, internally 
pale ochreous. Antenne whitish, annulated with dark fuscous. An- 
terior wings greyish-fuscous, clouded with fuscous along the inner mar- 
gin, and with several dark fuscous spots (of which one at the base of the 
costa, one above the fold not far from the base, one on the fold, and 
one posterior to it on the dise before the middle, and one on the dise 
beyond the middle, which is frequently followed by two others, one 
rather towards the costa, and the other a little above the fold) ; beyond 
the middle is a pale angulated fascia, which is indented below the sub- 
costal vein; beyond it is a fuscous cloud; the hinder margin and apex 
of the costa are spotted with black ; cilia pale greyish-fuscous. Pos- 
terior wings greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Extremely variable in the colour and intensity of the markings of 
the anterior wings. In one variety (of not unfrequent occurrence) the 
anterior wings are almost entirely suffused with dark fuscous, leaving 
only the costa of the pale ground-colour, and the hinder fascia, remaining 
of the usual colour, is remarkably conspicuous. 
Abundant among poplars and sallows, resting on the trunks, 
or on palings in the vicinity; the perfect insect appears at the 
end of June, and keeps out a long while. The larva feeds at the 
end of May and beginning of June, in rolled-up leaves of poplar, 
sallow, and birch.
