two dark fuscous spots, one before, the other beyond the middle; be- 
yond the latter is a dark spot on the disc; in the apex of the wing is 
a minute dark spot; cilia whitish, with dwo entire curved dark lines 
ot the apex to the anal angle. Posterior wings pale grey, with paler 
cilia. 
Common among nut-bushes in May and August. The larva 
abundant in nut-leaves in July, September, and October.

Head ochreous, mixed with fuseous. Face grey. Palpi white, the 
extremity of the second joint fuscous ; terminal joint with a broad black 
ying. Antenne dark fuscous, with whitish annulations. Anterior 
wings dark grey, intermixed with white, especially along the inner mar- 
gin; along the costa are numerous short whitish streaks, those towards 
the apex being the most distinct, the last one being continued round 
the apical black spot into the cilia of the hinder margin; in the fold 
are two dark fuscous spots, one before, the other beyond the middle ; 
beyond the latter on the disc is a smaller dark fuscous spot, bounded 
externally by a whitish streak ; cilia whitish, externally with two entire 
dark fuscous lines from~the apex to the anal angle. Posterior wings 
grey, with paler cilia. 
A most abundant species in hedges in the south of England, 
appearing at the end of April (one of the harbingers of summer), 
and in May, and again in August. I have bred it from larvae off 
sloe, and | believe it also feeds on the hawthorn. ‘The larva may 
be found in July and September.
