44 Mr. R. M‘Lachlan’s Afonograph of the 
lis, Hag. (*) Ent. Ann. 1859, p. 83, 213 Goniotaulius anas- 
tomosis, Kol. Gen. et Spec. Trichop. pt. 1, p. 52, 5 (1848). 
Antenne fuscous, with paler annulations. Head reddish-fus- 
cous, paler at the sides. Palpi reddish-testaceous. Prothorax 
reddish-fuscous, with long hairs. Mesothorax fuscous. Anterior 
wings narrow, grey with an ochreous tinge, clothed with short 
pale pubescence; there are numerous greyish-fuscous freckles 
and a row of fuscous dots along the middle of the wing, and a dis- 
tinct fuscous dot just behind the arculus; pterostigma pitchy 
brown, often with paler dots; fenestrated spot indistinct, most 
evident when the wings are closed; anastomosal space still less 
evident ; longitudinal veins pale fuscous, dotted with blackish- 
fuscous, the anastomosis distinctly blackish-fuscous; the colora- 
tion of the anterior wings varies according as the spots are more 
or less coalescent. Posterior wings greyish-hyaline, the apex 
slightly darker, and with a brownish-grey pterostigma more or 
less distinct; the ramus subdiscoidalis forks sooner than the ramus 
discoidalis. Legs testaceous, with black spines; the anterior tibize 
have exteriorly a row of fuscous dots, the apices of all the tibize 
and tarsi are likewise fuscous. Abdomen dull fuscous above, 
ochreous beneath, and with ochreous lateral lines. Jn the male 
the upper margin of the last abdominal segment is rounded off; 
app. sup. small, yellow, the apical margin slightly emarginate ; 
app. intermed. curved strongly upward, brown, the tips black ; 
app. inf. short, rounded, with a fringe of black hairs at the base. 
In the female there is no appearance of the usual valves, but there 
is a broad inflated ring at the apex, from which proceeds a tubular 
piece. 
Expanse of fore-wings 9—14 lines. 
A very common species in woods in the neighbourhood of 
London, but by no means confined to woods, as I have seen it 
abundantly in a little marshy spot on the wide sandy expanse known 
as Dawlish Warren, in Devonshire; probably generally distri- 
buted. I have found it as early as the 21st April and as late as 
the beginning of October.
