Fore-wings chestnut-brown, slightly shaded with fuscous towards the costal margin; a whitish ochreous streak at the base of the dorsal margin, followed by two or three other smaller ones along the dorsal margin (in some specimens these are obsolete); above the dorsal margin are two oblique whitish ochreous streaks, the first before the middle, the second before the anal angle. A similar streak from the costal margin immediately before the apex is out- wardly margined by a streak of black scales, the apex and apical margin being also black; there is also a faint fuscous streak running downwards through the cilia below the apex. On the cell are two elongate patches of black scales, one immediately before the middle of the wing, the other halfway between tMs and the base. Fringes grey, with a sUght yellowish tinge. Hind wings pale gre\dsh. Hind tibiae greyish white, outwardly fuscous; hind tarsi whitish, with a wide fuscous band followed by two fuscous spots on their outer sides.

(Original.) THE EGG. The eggs of this species resemble considerably those of the Angou- mois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella). They have been found deposited on dry corn husks and in such locations are much flat- tened on the surface, differing in this respect from those of Sitotroga. The egg may be described as follows: Flattened oval; widest near the middle; truncate at one end and narrowed at the other, with the surface strongly wrinkled, forming coarse, irregular, ridgelike longi- tudinal Knes.
