GELECHIA. 129 
wings blackish, with a broad rather oblique white fascia before the 
middle, narrower towards the costa, and with two opposite white spots 
(of which that on the inner margin is the larger and slightly posterior) 
towards the hinder margin; on the fold on each side of the fascia is a 
raised deep black spot, and a third is a little above the fold beyond the 
middle; on the hinder margin and apex of the costa are some minute 
black spots; cilia dark fuscous. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Frequents hawthorn hedges in June and July. The larva (ae- 
cording to Lienig) feeds in May between united apple-leaves, in a 
felted mass, which bears a resemblance to moss.

Alis anticis griseo-nigris, puncto coste basali albido, fascia obliqua ante 
medium, in medio attenuata, in dorsum valde dilatata, macula in medio 
coste, maculisque posticis oppositis per lineam in fasciam angulatam 
connexis albis. Wxp. al. 5-54 lin. 
Head and face white. Palpi white; terminal joint with two black 
rings. Antenne white, annulated with black. Anterior wings greyish- 
black, with a small whitish spot at the base of the costa, an oblique 
white fascia before the middle, extremely attenuated on the fold, but 
much expanded on the inner margin; on the middle of the costa is a 
white spot; and beyond are two opposite white spots, connected by a 
slender line, so as to form an angulated fascia; beyond this is an irre- 
gular black spot; several black spots are on the dise, but indistinct 
from the deep ground-colour; cilia whitish, with some fuscous lines. 
Posterior wings grey, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 
Occurs, not uncommonly, on fences round orchards in August.

Head and face white, mixed with grey. Palpi white; terminal 
joint with two dark fuscous rings. Antenna white, annulated with 
black. Anterior wings greyish, powdered with fuscous, with several 
dark fuscous markings, viz. an oblique fascia arising on the costa near 
the base, a small spot on the costa before the middle, and a smaller 
spot on the costa beyond the middle; on the dise is a short longitudinal 
streak, nearly in the middle, and another follows beyond the middle, two 
small round spots lie immediately below these streaks; the hinder 
margin is dark fuscous; cilia whitish, with some fuscous lines. Pos- 
terior wings pale grey, with paler greyish-fuscous cilia. 
Not uncommon in orchards in July. The larva (detected by 
Mr. Wing) feeds in May on the pear, making a gallery across the 
flowers, with pieces of the petals and stamens interwoven with 
silk.
