black, with three or four interrupted, white, trans- 

 verse lines ; legs testaceous ; intermediate legs snow- 

 white, tarsi annulated with black ; posterior legs

Length 3| lin. ; exp. 7 lin. 



Sab. North of England, Carlisle, in June. 



70. L. pilosus, Miill.; L. ochraceus, Curt. B. E. pi. 17; 

 Steph. 111. 195, 1 ; 31. obsoleta, Ramb. 

 Pale ochreous; the articulations of the antennas rather 

 darker; anterior wings long and narrow, obtusely 

 rounded at the apex ; the veins somewhat prominent, 

 ochreous, with the fringe rather darker; posterior 

 wings yellowish white ; legs pale yellow. 



This species is anomalous; the anterior branch of the 

 Ramus thyrifer is simple in the female also, and the anas- 

 tomosis of the anterior wings is straight (as in Setodes), and 

 yet the anterior legs are spurred. 



Length 5^—6 lin.. ; exp. 10 lin. 



Sab. Regent's Park, and Benacre in Suffolk, at the end 

 of August; rare. 



Genus Mystacides, Latreille. 

 Leptocerus, Stephens (partim). 

 The same characters as Leptocerus, but 0, 2, 2 spurs ; 

 Ramus thyrifer of the anterior wings simple in both sexes ; 

 when the wings are laid together their apex curves inwards; 

 posterior wings folded; anastomosis of the anterior wings 

 oblique. 



Case thin, trumpet-shaped, slightly curved, composed of 

 fine sand.
