13. dilectella, Zell. L. B. ii. 272 (1847); Sta. Alis anticis ni- 
tidis dilute aureis, dilutissime violaceo-suffusis, dorso ai basim albo, 
striis duabus e basi distinctius aureis, macula transversali dorsali pone

Head, face, and palpi white. Antenne white, annulated with dark 
fuscous. Abdomen rufous. Anterior wings shining pale golden, with 
a faint violet tint; the base of the inner margin is white; two streaks 
from the base, one near the inner margin, the other near the costa ex- 
tending to the middle of the wing are more distinctly golden; beyond 
the middle of the inner margin is a fuscous spot reaching nearly half 
across the wing, and at the anal angle is a smaller fuscous spot; a little 
before the middle of the costa is a small fuscous spot, and a larger one 
a little beyond the middle, which almost meets the larger spot from the 
inner margin; two small fuscous spots lie on the costa immediately 
before the apical black spot; cilia pale yellowish-grey. Posterior wings 
pale grey, with paler cilia. 
Very common among juniper-bushes in July. Mr. Logan met

of the wing; cilia at the apex golden-brown, at the anal angle pale 
grey. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Occurs among wild apple-bushes in July and August.
