conspicuous transverse yellow spot on the inner margin beyond the mid- 
die, and a smaller rather oblique yellow spot on the costa, a little pos- 
terior; cilia pale fuscous. Posterior wings pale greyish-fuscous, with

on the seeds of celery during the winter.

Occurs near Huddersfield and at Duddingstone, in June and
