LITHOCOLLETIS. 267 
oblique golden-brown fascia commences at the base of the costa, it is at 
first very broad, but gradually becomes thinner, terminating before the 
middle of the inner margin, on its outer side are some fuscous scales ; 
beyond the middle of the wing are four short black lines from the 
costa, and a longer one from the inner margin internally margined with 
pale golden-brown ; at the apex is a round black spot, from which the 
long black scales, which form the hook in the cilia, project ; cilia white. 
Posterior wings grey, with whitish cilia. 
Appears in May and August. ‘The larva feeds on the under- 
side of oak-leaves. It has occurred at Leatherhead, Hudders- 
field, and Doncaster.

Head whitish. Face and palpi white. Antenne white, with fus- 
cous annulations. Anterior wings white, with ¢hree angulated fasciz 
and two costal spots, ochreous-yellow, somewhat golden ; the first fascia is 
slightly angulated, externally dark margined and internally partially so ; 
the second fascia is more angulated and frequently interrupted, the costal 
half projecting beyond the dorsal half, it is dark-margined on both 
sides, as is also the third fascia, which is still more angulated and the 
prolongation of its angle forms the apical streak, which is ochreous- 
golden, with only a few black scales; the two costal spots run into the 
apical streak and have dark margins externally ; a black hinder mar- 
ginal line goes round the apex of the wing ; cilia white, the extremities 
of the costal half black, thus forming a hook. Posterior wings very 
pale grey, with whitish cilia. 
Appears in May and August. The larva feeds in oak-leaves. 
It has occurred at Oxford, Shrewsbury, and near London.
