Alis anticis ceeruleo-fuscis, ochraceo-marmoratis, macula dorsi basali, 
maculis oppositis ante apicem dilute ochraceis, albidisve, maculis tuber- 
culatis nigris, tribus plice, tribus disci; capite cum fronte dilute 
ochreo, palpis dilute ochreis, articuli tertii annulis duobus fuscis. Exp. 
al. 5 lin. 
Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous, the last joint 
with éwo fuscous rings. Antenne fuscous. Anterior wings bluish- 
fuscous, tinged with ochreous towards the inner margin, with a large 
spot on the inner margin at the base, and ¢wo opposite spots towards 
the apex, pale ochreous or whitish ; near the middle of the costa are a 
few whitish scales, and others are scattered over the disc and towards 
the apex; three tufts of black scales lie along the fold and three others 
above them; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings fuscous, with paler 
cilia. 
Occurs in various localities in June and July, more commonly 
than the preceding; I have fancied it was attached to the sallow.

Head grey. Face silvery grey. Palpi grey. Antenne grey. An- 
terior wings grey, varied with tawny, with zo yellowish spots towards 
the costa, one in the middle, the other near the apex, and with two tufts 
of black scales near the inner margin ; cilia grey. Posterior wings grey, 
with paler cilia. 
Common on many of the chalk downs of the south of England, 
among Helianthemum vulgare in May and June, and I believe 
again in August. ‘The fat rather short larva mines the leaves of 
the Helianthemum in March and April, moving successively from 
leaf to leaf as it finds occasion, and quitting the leaf before chang- 
ing to the pupa state. I imagine there is a second brood of the 
larva in July.

Head and face white. Palpi white; the end of the second joint, and 
a ring before the apex of the terminal joint, black. Antenne fuscous, 
annulated with white. Anterior wings white, with three grey blotches 
along the costa, the first reaching nearly to the middle, the second 
lying beyond the middle, and the third in the apex; the second and 
third are united by a tawny streak on the disc; near the inner margin 
are two tufts of black scales, the first before the middle, the second
