the middle, where it nearly reaches the inner margin (towards the inner 
margin it is much tinged with tawny); it is indented by a short white 
streak from the oblique hinder fascia; the black apical portion of the 
wing is divided into three nearly equal portions by two branches from 
the white fascia; there are two tufts of black scales, one on the fold 
near the middle, the other above the anal angle; cilia grey. (In some 
specimens the anterior wings are almost entirely suffused with black, 
and the head, face, and palpi are also darker.) Posterior wings grey, 
with paler cilia. 
Not scarce in June among white-thorn; the dark variety ap- 
pears exclusively attached to the apple, it is possible it may be a 
_ distinct species.
