Tue genus Lozoteenia. The insects assigned to this genus have the palpi rather longer than the head ; the 
anterior wings long and rather narrow, and, in front, arching strongly from the shoulder. In the males they 
have a crease or a fold reaching nearly to the middle. The hind margin is generally indented below the tip. 
The antenne are cither simple or very slightly pubescent. In the present arrangement of the genus Lozotenia 
of Stephens, there are fifteen British species, among which have been merged a series of insects formerly 
assigned to four separate genera; and many of the species now represent numerous varieties formerly described 
as distinet species. In two of the species, Z. fulvana and LZ. Rosana, the males and females are so different as 
to have been taken for different species. The Caterpillars feed between leaves webbed together, and are generally 
smooth and of rather sluggish character. The Chrysalis is also formed between leaves, sometimes in compactly 
webbed cocoons. The markings in all the species of this genus yary so much in intensity, in breadth, in 
continuity, and in the more or less diagonal direction of the bands, that the great number of species formerly 
made of the varieties is easily conceivable ; but it is probable, as the characters of all the varieties become better 
known, that the number of distinct species may be yet further reduced. 
Lozxotenia Sorbiana (the Hazel T, No. 1). This is the largest species, and in respect to general markings 
and character, may stand as the representative of the whole genus. The Caterpillar feeds on Oak, Hazel and other 
trees in May, and the moth appears in June, being far from rare. This species and nine others, Z. Forsterana, 
L. Dumetana, L, transitana, L. cinnamoneana, L. Heparana, L. Ribeana, L. Corylana, L. unifasciand, 
and ZL, piccana ; each of which species is subject to variations many of which formerly ranked as separate species. 
The male and female of Z. piceana for instance were made distinct species. The insects in the first section 
of the genus represent those agreeing with the character of Hiibner’s genus Pandemis. 
The second section of this genus comprises the insects formerly assigned to Hiibner’s genus Cucoecia, 
There are five species in this section, L. fulvana, L. roborana, L. Nylosteana, L. Rosana, and “L. semialbana. 
The sexes being so different in appearance in roborana, fulvana, and Rosana, as to have been formerly taken for 
distinct species, while the yarieties which have received distinct specific names are also yery numerous. 
The third section of this genus is represented by a single species according in character with Hubner’s 
genus Philedone, namely, Lozotenia costana (the Oblique Bar).
