the labial palpi are slender and recurved ; it therefore ought to 

 have been placed with genus 1036. The males of the typical 

 species are characterized by their handsome antennae, which 

 have only one series of pectinations, each being formed like a 

 spoon. A specimen which I take to be a female has a curious 

 process, which is represented at fig. o.

I know of no figure of the male of this elegant little moth, 



which I have repeatedly met with on the wing in the daytime 



about white-thorn hedges the middle of May : the female I 



have found in the New Forest the beginning of June. 



2. pectinella Fab. — trigonella? Li?m. Faun. Suec. 1373. 

 Superior wings tawny-fuscous with a whitish obscurely 

 geminated spot before the middle of the interior margin, 

 and another smaller and scarcely visible one behind : 6 lines

3. Oehlmanniella Hiib. Tin.pl. 27./ 184. 



Anterior wings with 2 trigonate very white or silvery spots, 

 the 1 St before, the other behind the middle, and a white 

 spot on the costa towards the apex, and almost opposite the 

 2nd spot on the interior margin : posterior wings black, 

 shining ; cilia entirely black : 6 — 7 lines. Haw. 

 In the vicinity of London. 



4. spuria Haw. 5G0. 4. probably a variety of the last. 

 Anterior wings somewhat narrower in proportion to their 

 size, paler and less purple, but principally different in the 

 minute white costal spot, which is twice as small, and ex- 

 actly opposite to the outer one on the inner margin, and 

 further removed from the apex than in the last: agreeing in 

 other respects : 7 lines. Haw.
