terior wings bronzy yellowish-green, with the costa fuscous, a dark

‘ another dark fuscous line begins on the disc, not far from the base,

is much thickened ; cilia pale fuscous. Posterior wings greyish-fuscous,

Common in many places, in May and June, among brambles.

Head smooth; the forehead obtuse. Antenne setaceous, rather thick, 
slightly serrate, and somewhat compressed; the basal joint thickened 
and rather short. Tongue of moderate length. Labial palpirather short, 
or of moderate length, slightly curved ; the second joint a little thicker; 
the terminal joint acute. Wings with very long cilia, the anterior ap- 
pearing from the cilia to be dilated posteriorly, the posterior linear- 
lanceolate. In the anterior wings the acuminate discoidal cell sends 
two or three veins to the costa, a ¢rifid or bifid vein from its apex, and 
three ov two yeins to the hinder margin; the subdorsal vein is simple ; 
the apex of the submedian is thickened (in a few cases it is not thick-
