156 THE GENERA OF BRITISH MOTHS. 
beyond the head; the fore-wings, like those of the last genus, are of exceedingly long proportion, sometimes 
exceeding in length three times their breadth. The front of the anterior wings is straight, and the apex sharp. 
There are five British species. 
Lozopera alternana (the Littoral Straw T, No. 15). The Caterpillar of this pretty primrose-coloured 
Moth is unknown. The perfect insect appears in June and July. It is widely distributed, but rather local, and 
rarely very plentiful. 
The other species are L. Franeillana, L. dilwidana, L. Smeathmanniana, and L. straminea ; most of 
these are of pale straw colour, and various shades of pale yellow, and sometimes very delicately marked. 
The genus Xanthosctia. The insects assigned to this genus have the palpi extending considerably in front 
of the head, the fore-wings about twice as long as broad, the front edge slightly but regularly arched, and the tip 
acute. They are generally of a pale lemon colour, but the species are not very homogeneous in their characters, 
and although there are but three in the genus, they are separated into two divisions,—A., ‘‘ Zuaanthis,” and 
B., “‘ Hysterosia,” suggesting other genera to which they exhibit more or less affinity. 
Xanthosetia Zagana (the Zegian T, No. 16). The Caterpillar of this brightly-coloured and conspicuous 
insect feeds on the roots of Scabiosa columbaria. The Moth appears in May, and again in August. It is not so 
common as the other species’ in the first division, but is widely dispersed, and far from rare. 
The other species in the first division (Zuxanthis), is X. hamana, which is rather larger than X. Zegana, 
but paler in colour. In the third division (Hysterosia), the only species is X. ¢nopiana, which, instead of having 
the anterior wings of a yellow tone like the typical species, is of a dull drab-colour, from which circumstance it 
derives its popular name, the Plain Drab T.
