This species resembles in general appearance the European T. m!n- 

 l^fraiia^ Linn. (T. ferrugana, Hiib. fig. 56) but is readily distin- 

 guished by its narrower anterior wings, more oblique external margin 

 and very long palpi, which in ministrana but slightly exceed the head.

 of gdidaiia^ but it will be seen from the citations given above that it 

 was described as ahjidana and the name on the plate is undoubtedly 

 an error.
