RAM. ADELIDJZt: 
The structural variation of this genus occurs in closely allied species, and even in sexes of the 
same species, so that it does not admit of any satisfactory subdivision. 
Imago flying in sunshine, sometimes frequenting the flowers of its foodplants. 
Larva usually at first on flowers or seeds, afterwards in a flat portable case of leaf-fragments or 
silk granulated with earth on leaves, often those fallen 
Foodplants (known for five species) diverse, Dicotyledonous shrubs and plants. 
Geographical distribution of species, — Confined to temperate regions of the Northern 
hemisphere, except for one species found in Central America and one in South Africa.
