Head and face white. Palpi whitish; terminal joint with two black 
rings. Antenne whitish, amnulated with dark fuscous. Anterior wings 
white, towards the costa with a slight ochreous tinge, with the base of 
the costa, a spot in the middle, and a larger spot beyond the middle of 
the costa black; the inner margin is broadly fuscous from near the base 
to beyond the middle ; in the middle of the fold is a long black spot of 
raised scales, a short curved streak lies on the disc rather beyond, and a 
transverse streak is on the dise opposite to the last costal spot, but not 
reaching beyond the fold; these are likewise composed of raised black 
scales; the apical portion of the wing is clouded with fuscous, with 
some darker spots towards the hinder margin; cilia whitish. Posterior

Common among maples in May and June. The larva feeds on 
the leaves of the maple in September, turning down a portion, 
securing the leaf in its folded position by several strong cables of 
silk, and ‘then devouring the folded portion half through; they 
are extremely subject to the attacks of the Ichnewmonide.
