98 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, 
in d' simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint thickened c 
with dense scales, forming a compact rough tuft at apex beneath, terminal joint longer than second, 
moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with 
hairs above. Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 and 4 approximated or connate, 7 and 8 
stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings over r, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 2/3; 
without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — Correlated with early forms of Gelechia, which is its nearest ally. This genus has 
been much misapprehended, partly through the inclusion of heterogeneous material, partly through the 
erroneous assumption that it was close to Dichomeris, with which there is in fact no near relationship. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Essentially European, but extending into Northwest 
America, Siberia, and India. . : 
Larva (6 known) feeding in spun shoots. 
Foodplants : Scrophulariaceae (2), Coniferae (2), Salicaceae, Rhamnaceae.
