cautella, Zell.; Dup. Alis anticis saturate fuscis, albido-squamatis, striis 
tribus in medio nigris, fascia postica valde obsoleta, squamis albidis com- 
posita. Exp. al. 74 lin. 
Head dark fuscous. Face whitish. Palpi dark fuscous, internally 
whitish; terminal joint whitish, with two broad fuscous rings. An- 
tenne fuscous. Anterior wings dark fuscous, with some obscure darker 
markings, and with numerous whitish scales; the most distinct of the 
dark markings are ¢iree elongate black spots in the middle (one on the 
fold, one on the dise, and one towards the costa); beyond the middle 
the whitish scales form an indistinct angulated fascia; cilia greyish- 
white. Posterior wings pale grey, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 
Not uncommon in June and July on the stems of the white 
poplar trees at Wanstead ; it is difficult to secure, as on the ap- 
proach of the collector it flies away.

Alis anticis xigris, punctis tribus atris obsoletis, fascia postica nebulosa 
atra. Wxp. al. 54 lin. 
Head black. Face dark fuscous. Palpi grey, internally whitish’; 
terminal joint externally dark fuscous. Antenne: dark fuscous. An- 
terior wings d/ack, with three rather indistinct deep black spots (one on 
the fold, one posterior to it on the dise before the middle, and one on 
the dise beyond the middle) ; beyond the middle is a deep black cloudy 
fascia ; and on the hinder margin and apex of the costa are some deep 
black spots; cilia blackish. Posterior wings dark greyish-fuscous, with 
paler cilia, 
Hitherto found only in Lancashire and Cheshire, where it is 
not unfrequent among sallows in July. The larva feeds in the 
terminal shoots of the sallows in June.

Head and face dark fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous, internally pale 
ochreous. Antenne fuscous. Anterior wings dark brownish-fuscous, 
with three black spots (one on the fold, a second posterior to it on the 
disc before the middle, the third on the dise beyond the middle), each 
surrounded by reddish-ochreous ; beyond the middle are two small pale 
reddish-ochreous opposite spots, of which that on the costa is the more 
distinct ; cilia pale fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with pale grey- 
ish-fuscous cilia. 
The perfect insect has very rarely been met with; it appears in 
July and August among Genista tinctoria, and has occurred near 
Bristol, Hpping, and Tunbridge Wells. ‘The larva feeds in May
