Epidola, Staudinger, Stett. Ent. Zeit. Vol. 20, p. 244 (1859). — Type: E. stigma, stdinger 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales ; ocelli small, posterior; tonque Sho. Antennae sj6, 
in g simple, basal joint moderately elongate, with pecten. Labial palpi moderate, curved, subascending, - 
* second joint with short tuft of rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint much shorter than second, i 
somewhat thickened with scales, scarcely pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with 
long fine hairs above. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 2-6 parallel, 7 absent, 11 from middle. - 
Hindwings nearly 1, elongate-trapezoidal, apex scarcely produced, termen slightly sinuate, cilia 1 1/2; : 
3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 parallel. 
Remarks. — A singular form; but Staudinger's remarks on the tibial spurs appear unjustified, - 
since they are quite normal. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Western Mediterranean, 
Larva case-bearing, feeding on leaves. 
Foodplants Quercus, Cístus, etc., seemingly rather indiscriminate.
