of the Pyralidina of the EurojJean fauna. 457 



28. Orenaia, Diijy. 

 Face rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 two-thirds, in ^ filiform, ciliated (;}-). Labial palpi moderate, 

 porrected, second joint with short dense projecting scales beneath, 

 terminal joint moderate, exposed, obtuse or pointed. Maxillary- 

 palpi moderate, porrected, rather thick, obtuse or pointed. Abdo- 

 men in 3' with moderate anal tuft. Middle tibi^ in ^ sometimes 

 with pencil of hairs m groove ; posterior tibiae with outer spurs 

 one-half inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 approximated to 9 towards base. Hind wings over 1 ; 

 vems 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastom- 

 osing with 8 to one-third. 



An intermediate link between ScojMiria and Evcyfiestis. 

 The three species are natives of the mountains of 

 Europe.

29. EVERGESTIS, Hb. 



Face rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antenna; 

 two-thirds, in ^ filiform, ciliated (i). Labial palpi short or mode- 

 rate, porrected, second joint rough-scaled, terminal joint rather 

 short, loosely scaled, somewhat pointed. Maxillary palpi as long 

 as second joint of labial, porrected, filiform, apex somewhat peni- 

 cillate. Abdomen in 3' with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibi» 

 with outer middle-spur one-half, outer end-spur one-half to three- 

 fourths of inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 closely approximated to 9 towards base, sometimes 

 anastomosing with 9. Hmd wings over 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 closely 

 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 

 to one-third. 



A genus of moderate extent, specially characteristic of 

 the European region, but extending also into North 

 America. The occasional anastomosis of veins 9 and 10 

 of the fore wings, as in Pyraiista, is not a constant specilic 

 character, some specimens not showing it ; the species 

 in which I have observed it are cencalis and anartalis.
