mined with fuscous, with three oblique dark fuscous fascia, which are 
nearest the base on the costa, the first near the base sometimes inter- 
rupted, the second before the middle, the third a little beyond the 
middle reaching only to the fold; beyond are several dark fuscous 
‘spots; cilia of the hinder margin pale grey, varied with dark fuscous, 
a the inner margin pale fuscous. Posterior wings grey, with paler 
cilia. 
Appears in September and October, and hybernated specimens 
occur in the spring; not uncommon at Whittlebury, also occurs 
at; Dartford Heath. The larva feeds on the privet in August 
(according to Hiibner), rolling up the leaves into cones.

Head, face, and palpi pale sulphur. Antenne fuscous, annulated 
with whitish. Anterior wings pale sulphur, intermixed with numerous 
dark fuscous atoms, which are sometimes confluent, and form dark 
blotches; cilia of the hinder margin pale sulphur, of the inner margin 
fuscous. Posterior wings dark grey, with fuscous cilia. 
Not uncommon in the autumn in the New Forest, and at
