214 COLEOPHORID A, 
one slightly angulated on the disc before the anal angle (the space be- 
tween these two is brownish), the third is on the fold; cilia pale grey. 
Posterior wings pale grey, with ochreous-grey cilia. 
A single specimen was taken by Mr. Bedell, in Headley-lane, 
near Mickleham, July 12th, 1847. The larva feeds on Centaurea 
scabiosa, ina rather large, slightly-curved, somewhat flattened 
brown case. Mr. S. Stevens has twice found it in the hilly field 
at Headley-lane, in June, but has not succeeded in breeding the 
perfect insect.

Head and face greyish-ochreous. Palpi white. Antennie white,

Oceurs in June and July on heaths; has been taken at Dart-
