Capilli depress!. Ocelli nulli. Antenna; articulis elongatis (apicem 

 versus obtuse et remote dentatfe), articulo basali elongato. Haustel- 

 lum mediocre, squamatum. Palpi labialcs nicdiocres, articulo se- 

 cuiido intra scopitbrmi, /«7/s antice valde prodiictis, articulo terminali 

 affideiformi reflexo. Ate elongat<"e, luin/c cUiatce ; postcriores ante 

 apicem profundc emarginata^ ; anteriores : ccUula discoidalis elon- 

 gata ; vena apicalis Irifida, infra earn rami quatuor; posteriores : 

 cellula costalis valde angusta ; vena subcostalis simplex ; mediana 

 tritida. 



Head smooth. Ocelli none, Antcnnaj with elongate joints (towards 

 the apex obtusely and remotely dentate) ; basal joint elongate. Tongue 

 of moderate length, clothed with scales. Labial palpi moderately long ; 

 the second joint beneath like a brush, the hairs antcnorh) much ])ro- 

 longed ; terminal joint slender, pointed, reflexed. Wings elongate, zf/^VA 

 lontj cilia; the posterior deejjly emarginate before the apex. In the 

 anterior wings the discoidal cell is elongate, the apical vein trijld, be- 

 neath it are four veins from the discoidal cell. In the posterior wings 

 the costal cell is extremely narrow ; the subcostal vein is simple ; the 

 median vein is trifid. 



Although several species of this genus occur on the continent, 

 but one representative of it has yet been met with here. The 

 larva of none of the species are known.

Head and face yellow. Palpi whitish-yellow. Antenna; pale fus-

 wing. Posterior wings greyish-fuscous, witli ])aler cilia. 



This pretty species is not uucounuou at Dartford Heath, in

 running about with its wings half expanded.
