Paedisca agricolana. (Plate LXIX. fig. 8.) 
Head, palpi, and thorax milk-white ; the head tufted above ; palpi thickly clothed to the 
apex : antenn;e faintly annulated. Fore wings— more than twice as long as wide — milky 
white, with ochreous fawn-coloured sti-eaks or reticulations ; the appressed costal fold at the 
base in the male is ochreous fawn-colour; and there are numerous pale streaks of the same 
colour along the costa, the first acutely augulated beyond the middle and sometimes forming 
with a straight horizontal line toAvards the base an arrow-shaped mark ; two or three others 
on the costa towards the apex assuming the form of the Greek y, the tails pointing outwards 
towards the very oblique apical margin : in some varieties the markings are so much blended 
as to be scarcely traceable, giving to the wing a more suftused appearance : the apical margin 
is narrowly ochreous fawn-colour, with a line of black scales at the base of the cilia, and a few 
black dots above and within the anal angle : underside brownish fuscous. Hind wings pale 
brownish grey ; cilia milky white. 5 S- Expanse of wings 13-20 millims.
