 pnxluced and obtusely angled, the cilia are long ; the fonnex wing^s 

 are ctf pale colours — generally yeUow, <» straw-colour — and *re 

 adorned with indistinct and somewhat irresrular obliquely tzansvexse 

 darker markings : the palpi are rather long, and slightly ascai&^, 

 aud the species appear to frequent chalky districts- The genus is 

 almost synonymous with Chlidonia, Hlibner.
