LEPIDOPTERA. 
apex of the antennae is generally unannulated. The case of 
the larva is very different . 
Alis anticis saturate ftrunmo-oclureis, costa anguste albida, postice 
ochrea ; antennis albis, fusco-annulatis, articulo basali ochreo, non peni* 
cillato. Exp. al. 5—6 lin. 
Head, face and palpi pale ochreous. Antennae white, annulated with 
fuscous; the basal joint pale ochreous, hardly as robust as in badiipen- 
nella ; the extreme apex is frequently entirely whitish, without annula- 
tions. Anterior wings dark brownish- ochreous, the costa narrowly whitish 
to beyond the middle {yet more broadly and less sharply margined than in 
badiipennella); cilia ochreous, inclining to fuscous towards the anal 
angle. Posterior wings greyish fuscous, cilia rather darker. 
GONIODOMA AUROGUTTELLA, F. v. R, (See 
frontispiece, fig. 4.) A single specimen was taken by Mr. S. 
Stevens, in the Isle of Wight, last August, on the banks of 
the Yar, near Yarmouth, by sweeping the herbage. The 
larva (figured in Fischer) feeds in an angulated case on the 
seeds of Atriplex (its case resembling in form and colour 
the rhomboidal pcrigone of the fruit) ; in autumn, when the 
larva is full fed, it attaches its case to the lower part of the 
stem of the food plant, and boring into the interior, spins a 
white silken cocoon there, leaving its case attached to the 
exterior of the stem ; it remains unchanged in this cocoon 
during the winter, but in spring it assumes the pupa state, and 
the perfect insect appears in July. According to the obser¬ 
vations of Fischer and Mann, it frequents only those plants 
which grow in very sheltered situations. 
Alis anticis luteis, strigis duabus argenteis altera costa, altera plicae» 
tertia abbreviata disci, maculis quinque dilute aureis pone medium, atro- 
squamatis. Exp. al. lin. 
Head, face and palpi whitish. Antenna white, annulated with black 
the tip of the yellowish basal tuft fuscous. Anterior wings yellow, with 
two silvery streaks from the base to beyond the middle, one along the 
costa and one along the fold; between these is a shorter streak in the 
middle of the wing; beyond the middle are five or six pale golden spots,
