ENYPHANTES. 283 



This species is a native of Central and Southern Europe. It 

 expands rather less than an inch. 



The fore-wings are brownish-grey, varied with dark brown 

 and pale grey, with a dark central band, and another narrower 

 band nearer the base, which does not extend to the inner 

 margin. On the costa and at the apex are dark spots. Some- 

 times all the markings are indistinct. The hind -wings are light 

 brownish-grey. 



It is found from October to April in woods.

This genus, like the last, belongs to a Family of somewhat 

 doubtful position, but they are included by most recent authors 

 in the Torirlces, and not in the Tincue. 



The tongue is absent, the antennce are ciliated in the male, 

 the spurs of the four hind \\\ivx, are very short, and the fore- 

 wings of the female are very short and narrow, while the hind- 

 wings are absent.
