cous ring before the apex. Antenni fuscous, beneath spotted with 
pale ochreous. Anterior wings (in the 9 rather acuminate) pale brown, 
very much suffused with fuscous, the fold and a line above it being al- 
most the only unsuffused portions of the wing; a black spot lies on 
the fold before the middle, and on the dise a little posterior is another, 
sometimes divided into two wedge-shaped spots; on the dise beyond the 
middle is another black spot; beyond are two pale opposite spots, 
which appear to form a slightly angulated fascia ; between them is 
sometimes a dark fuscous elongated spot; the hinder margin and apex 
of the costa are almost uninterruptedly dark fuscous ; cilia pale fuscous. 
Posterior wings pale grey, with greyish-ochreous cilia. 
Not uncommon; appearing in May and August. The larva, 
which is more easily seen, mines the leaves of the thistle (Cirsiwm 
Janceolatum) in July and September.

Head greyish-fuscous. Face paler. Palpi dark fuscous, internally 
paler; terminal joint with two fuscous rings. Antenne fuscous, with 
paler annulations. Anterior wings reddish-brown, with the inner margin 
paler ; on the fold are two black spots, one being in the middle, and one 
beyond ; obliquely beyond these are two others on the dise ; on the hinder

Common in June and July among the short grass in sandy
