CLOSTERA ANACHORETA. 
riate XXXYII. Figure 6. 
Localities for this species are near London. 
The caterpillar is yellowish, or reddish grey, with longi¬ 
tudinal interraptedlines,andalternatmg black and yellow 
spots on the sides, a small reddish prominence on the 
twelfth segment, and a larger one on the fifth,also a white 
spot on each side. This is one account; another, and I 
believe a more correct one, is as follows :—It is slightly 
covered with yellowish hair and has a broad pale buff band 
along the back, below which on either side is a slate-black 
band, with some dull orange spots, and beneath this the 
prevailing colour is orange, the spots above being brighter, 
the head black, and on the fourth segment is a dull pink- 
red raised spot surrounded by a black patch, in which, on 
either side of the prominence, is a conspicuous white spot; 
on the lesser segment is another similar but smaller promi¬ 
nence. 
The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is 
from June to October. 
It feeds on the willow and the poplar.
