Not uncommon in hedges where Solanum Dulcamara grows, in 
rag August, and September. The larva mines the leaves, and 
feeds in the berries and stems of the Sodanum, in July and August.

Head, face, and palpi creamy-white. Antenne whitish, annulated 
with dark fuscous. Anterior wings whitish, somewhat suffused with pale 
Juscous ; a few black dots lie near the base, an oblique black streak arises 
before the middle of the costa, reaches nearly to the fold, and is rather 
produced posteriorly; above its apex is a small black spot on the dise, 
and beyond the middle is another small black spot on the disc; the 
pale hinder fascia is white, slightly angulated and indented ; the apical 
portion of the wing is more suffused with fuscous, the hinder margin 
and apex of the costa are varied with black and white scales; cilia pale 
grey. Posterior wings pale grey, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 
Not uncommon in July in hedges where Sted/aria holostea grows. 
The larva, when young, mines the leaves, afterwards feeds in the 
terminal shoots, and at a later period feeds in the seeds of the 
Stellaria holostea ; it may be met with in May and June.

Head dark fuscous. Face greyish-ochreous. Palpi dark fuscous ; 
internally, and the tip of the terminal joint, pale ochreous. Antenne 
fuscous. Anterior wings rather pale reddish-brown, with the base fus- 
cous; a short oblique streak from the costa near the base is yellowish- 
white; beyond this is @ large black costal blotch, which extends to the 
hinder fascia, it reaches to the fold, but is posteriorly narrower, and 
beyond the middle it emits a black streak to the inner margin ; the yel- 
lowish-white opposite spots, of which that on the costa is the larger and 
posterior, form an angulated fascia; the apical portion of the wing is 
black, the hinder margin and apex of the costa being alternately black- 
ish and whitish; cilia dark fuscous, with the tips paler. Posterior 
wings greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia.
