The genus Coccyx. The insects assigned to this genus consist in great part of that pretty group of small 
Moths popularly known as the Silver-Lines, which are so named from haying several extremely fine silvery lines 
running along the front nervures of the anterior wings. The species assigned to the three divisions of the genus 
Coccyx have the palpi scarcely longer than the head ; the front wings about twice as long as broad, and the front 
slightly arched at the shoulder. There are ten species, divided into three sections, 
Coccyx Strovilella (the Large Dark Silver-striped T, No. 1). It is impossible in a drawing to render 
distinctly the slight silvery streaks of the front of the fore wings which distinguish this species, like others of the 
group. The other markings will, however, render it sufficiently recognisable. The Caterpillar is pale yellow, and 
has the head pale brown. It feeds on the seeds of Fir-cones in October and April. The perfect insect appears in 
May, and generally found in Fir plantations, but is rather rare. It has recently been taken at West Wickham, 
Croydon, and other places near London. 
C. Strobilella belongs to the first section of the genus Coccyx (Hemimenc), which contains three other 
species of more or less characteristic resemblance to each other. C. cosmophorana, C. splendidulana, C. argyrana, 
and C. finitimana. The next section (Astheria) contains but one species, C. pygmeana. The third section, 
Evetria, contains four species : C. Hyrciniana, C. ustomaculana, C. nanana, and C. Vacciniana. 
The genus Heusimene. In this genus the perfect Moth has the palpi the same length as the head, the 
wings extremely long and narrow; the front of the wings nearly straight, and the front angle rather sharp. 
There is only one British species, 
Heusimene fimbriana (the Brown-bordered T, No, 2). This is an early insect, being generally found in 
March and April, in the neighbourhood of Oaks, upon which it is probable that the Caterpillar feeds ; but it 
remains as yet undescribed. The Moth is far from common, though very widely distributed. 
The genus Pamplusia. The insects assigned to this genus have the antenne simple, the palpi rather 
longer than the head, and the wings very long and narrow, being three times as long as broad, and haying the 
front nearly straight at the shoulder. There are two British species. 
Pamplusia monticolana (the Faint Silver-striped T, No, 3). This is,a northern insect, being most 
abundant in moors and highlands in the North of England, where it is found in July and August. The 
Caterpillar is unknown.
