plumbelia, Dup.? lis anticis saturate eneo-griseis, maculis quatuor 
aureis, prima dorsi basali, secunda ante medium prope costam, tertia 
ig ante angulum analem, quarta costae ante apicem. Exp. al. 4-44 
in. 
Head and face shining bronzy-grey. Palpi brown-grey, the extreme 
tip white. Antenne dark fuscous, with the tip white. Anterior wings 
dark bronzy-grey, with four unmargined golden yellow spots, one at the 
base on the inner margin, a second near the costa before the middle, a 
third on the inner margin before the anal angle, and a fourth on the 
costa before the apex; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings fuscous, 
with grey cilia. 
Common in May, and again in July and August, among Hype- 
-ricum. 'The larva feeds on several species of Hypericum (princi- 
pally perforatum), in June, and in September and October ; when 
very young it mines the leaves, giving them a slight pucker; it 
afterwards rolls the leaves up into cones, of which it eats the inner 
substance, whereby the cones, which are at first green, become 
whitish or brownish ; when full-fed, it rolls up a short leaf longi- 
tudinally, and therein spins its cocoon, and assumes the pupa 
state.

Head yellowish-brown. Face paler. Palpi yellowish-brown; the 
base and apex of the terminal joint whitish, Antenne fuscous, with 
paler annulations. Anterior wings rather shining yellowish-brown, 
with four sulphur-coloured dark margined spots; the first on the inner 
margin zear the base, rather triangular, the second ox the costa before 
the middle, obliquely placed and slender, reaching nearly to the fold, 
the third triangular on the inner margin beyond the middle, and the 
fourth rather short on the costa before the apex; cilia of the apex fus- 
cous, of the inner margin grey. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
A single specimen is in the collection of the British Museum, 
being that formerly in the collection of the late Mr. Stephens, 
who took it at Ripley, in June, 1827. (‘Twenty-seven years ago, 
and still unique !) *

* Since writing the above, having had an opportunity of comparing this specimen 
with some brightly-marked specimens of phasianipennella, I am of opinion that 
quadruplelia is not a distinct species, but merely a strongly-marked variety of pha- 
sianipennella,
