Head coppery-brown. Face silvery-grey. Palpi silvery-white. An- 
tenn dark fuscous, with paler annulations. Anterior wings shining 
coppery-brown, with a very short and narrow unmargined white basal 
streak, and with two shining white fasciv, the first nearly straight, the 
second angulated above the middle, both are internally margined with 
black scales, most broadly on the costa; beyond are two white costal 
streaks and one dorsal streak, which almost unites with the first costal 
streak, they are dark-margined internally, and between them lie some 
black scales, which are extended towards the anal angle; at the apex 
of the wing are some black scales. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Appears at the end of May and end of August ; has occurred 
on the old tram-road beyond Croydon, and at Headley Lane. ‘The 
larva mines the underside of the radical leaves of Scabiosa colum- 
baria during the winter and spring, and at the end of July and 
beginning of August.

Head whitish. Face and palpi white. Antenne whitish, annulated 
with fuscous. Anterior wings white, irrorated with numerous fuscous 
atoms, sometimes causing the ground-colour to appear pale fuscous ; 
on the costa are three short oblique ochreous-brown streaks equidistant 
and parallel, and alternating the three similar smaller streaks on the 
inner margin; the two last of each are externally dark-margined ; at 
the ape is a black streak, above which are two small ochreous-brown 
spots on the costa. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 
Not common; has occurred in May and August among white
