Thorax smooth. 



Fore wing smooth; termen straight or slightly concave below 

 apex (at vein 6) ; 12 veins, all separate ; 7 to termen ; 11 from cell 

 slightly before middle: 10 more or less approximate to 9; upper 

 internal vein of cell from between 10 and 11; 3, 4, and 5 well 

 separated at termen (often parallel from beyond cell, rarely 3 and 

 4 approximate at termen) ; 2 from cell at or before %, straight; no 

 costal fold in male. 



Hind wing with normal pecten; 8 veins: in male 7 fusing with 

 8 beyond cell and 6 well separated; in female 8 free and 6 and 7 

 approximate toward base ; 3 and 4 connate or stalked ; inner margin 

 in male simple. 



Hind tibia of male smooth scaled. 



Male genitalia with outer surface of harpe unspined; cucullus 

 densely and evenly spined ; neck incurvation appreciable, but slight ; 

 neck well spined; sacculus finely haired, sometimes with two or 

 three strong spines. Uncus absent. Socii absent. Gnathos weakly 

 chitinized, a simple band, sometimes exjDanded beneath into an appre- 

 ciable subanal plate. Aedoeagus moderately long; rather stout; 

 straight or curved; tapering and often bottle necked; cornuti a 

 cluster of short stout spines, a few fixed, the rest deciduous. 



Abdomen of male simple or with modified dorsal hair tufts (under 

 superficial scaling) on segments 6, 6 and 7, or 6, 7 and 8; rarely (in 

 -flexana Zeller) with a pair of lateral tufts from sternite of eighth 

 segment. 



Female genitalia with two thorn-like signa. Ductus bursae very 

 short, unchitinized except near genital opening. Bursa copulatrix 

 large; neck smooth. 



The above description is drawn to include the European species 

 with vein 7 running into 8 in the male hind wing. These vary 

 greatly in male abdominal characters: populana (type of Hemi-
