476 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



find them to be present in all species alike, though in 

 some more exposed and conspicuous. P. pictalis, Curt., 

 which I have not mentioned in the list of species, is 

 excluded as an exotic, only inserted in the European 

 lists by an error of habitat, or perhaps an accidental and 

 purely temporary introduction. 



ruhidalis, Schiff. , *fuscolimha,lis, Rag. 



fulvocilialis, Dup. Heonalis, Oberth. 



Hncarnatalis, Z. comhustalis, F. E. 



glaucinalis, L. suhitstaUs, Ld. 



costalis, F. *gadesialis, Rag. 



regalis, Schifif. perversalis, H.-S. 



lienigialis, Z. ohsoletalis, Mn. 



farinalis, L. ; domesticalis, 

 Z. (cert.). 



63. Aglossa, Latr. 



Face rounded; ocelli distinct or concealed; tongue obsolete. 

 Antennae two-thirds, in ^ bipectinated, pectinations slender. 

 Labial palpi moderately long, porrected or subascending, second 

 joint with dense rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint 

 moderate, exposed. Maxillary palpi moderate, apex with loose 

 penicillate scales. Abdomen in ^ with moderate anal tuft. Pos- 

 terior tibiae with outer spurs one-half inner. Fore wings with 

 veins 4 and 5 from a point or stalked, 7 and 8 out of 9, 10 approxim- 

 ated to 9 towards base. Hind wings over 1 ; veins 4 and 5 

 stalked, 7 out of 6 near origin, approximated shortly to 8. 



Now nearly cosmopolitan, but probably by artificial 

 introduction. The antennae of the ^ are always said to 

 be ciliated, but are really bipectinated, the pectinations 

 being very fine, as in some species of Synaphe. 



pinguinalis, L. 



cuprealis, Hb. 

 *exsucealis, Ld. 



*signicostalis, Stgr. 



4. PHYCITID^. 



Ocelli distinct or rarelj' concealed. Tongue well-deA'eloped or 

 rudimentary. Maxillai'y palpi well-developed or rudimentary, 

 not triangular. Fore wings with vein 1 simple, or obsoletely 

 furcate, 4 and 5 closely approximated at base or stalked, 7 absent 

 (coincident with 8), 8 and 9 stalked. Hind wings with defined 

 pecten of hairs on lower margin of cell, veins 4 and 5 closely 

 approximated at base or stalked or coincident, 7 out of 6 near 

 origin, anastomosing with 8 or free.
