Head and face yellowish or dark fuscous. Palpi yellowish; terminal 
joint with a fuscous ring before the apex, frequently with another fus- 
cous ring near the base. Antenne fuscous, unannulated. Anterior 
wings rather narrow, of variable ground-colour, from yellowish-white 
to dark fuscous, with a black streak at the base of the costa; in the 
middle of the costa is a small fuscous cloudy spot, and beyond it a 
more distinct dark fuscous spot; opposite the latter is a dark fus- 
cous transverse spot on the disc, before which is an oblong dark 
fuscous spot above the fold; between this and the base is a some- 
what irregular dark fuscous spot on the fold; the last three spots are 
sometimes included in a large dark blotch on the inner margin ; on the 
hinder margin and apex of the costa are some fuscous spots; cilia 
ereyish-fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 
An extremely variable insect; appears in July and August; 
not unfrequent in the New Forest; scarce in other localities.

Head grey. Face paler. Palpi grey; terminal joint pale ochreous, 
with two fuscous rings. Antenne fuscous, with paler annulations. 
Anterior wings grey, with three dark grey clouds on the costa (the 
first near the base, the second in the middle, the third beyond the 
middle), and a dark grey cloud near the middle of the inner margin; 
in the middle of the wing are two raised black spots, surrounded by 
whitish (one on the disc, the other rather posterior on the fold) ; above 
the anal angle is a transverse raised black spot reaching more than half 
across the wing; beyond is a faintly indicated pale angulated fascia ; 
the hinder margin and apex of the wing are spotted with black; cilia 
ervey. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Common among hawthorn in June and July. The larva feeds 
(I believe) in the young shoots of hawthorn in May.
