Head, face, and palpi white. Antenne white, slightly clothed with 
white scales near the base, with a long yellowish-white tuft at the basal 
joint. Anterior wings with the apex prolonged and curved, pale yellow, 
with a silvery streak along the fold, a short one a little above it on the 
dise, and five short oblique silvery streaks towards the costa; all these 
streaks are margined with fuscous; the inner margin is also narrowly 
silvery ; cilia pale fuscous. Posterior wings fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Occurs at Mickleham, Sanderstead, and near Bristol, at the 
end of June and beginning of July. ‘The larva feeds (according

Head ochreous. Face and palpi silvery. Antenne white, with a 
long ochreous tuft at the basal joint. Anterior wings ochreous, with 
three silvery streaks, one on the subcostal vein commencing near the 
middle of the wing, not reaching to the costa, one slightly angulated on 
the dise (the space between these two is brownish, which colour is con- 
tinued to the apex of the wing), and one along the fold terminating be- 
fore the anal angle; cilia grey. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Tam not aware of any collector having detected this insect in 
this country, except Mr. Weaver, who found the larve in Trench 
Wood, Worcestershire, in the first week of June, 1844. The 
larvee feed on the Genista tinctoria, in firm, shining black cases, 
which, as Mr. Weaver remarks, are not unlike the ripe pods of 
some papilionaceous plants.
