This Moth is found in South-eastern Europe and Western 

 Asia. It expands three-quarters of an inch. 



The fore-wings are dark brown, dusted with ochre-yellow in 

 the male, with an ochre-yellow longitudinal stripe from the 

 base, extending two-thirds across the wings, and expanded in 

 its outer part. The hind-wings are dark brown, with a white 

 band near the base, which does not reach either the costa or 

 inner margin. The female has darker fore-wings, with a 

 coppery lustre, and a narrow whitish costa and faintly indi- 

 cated longitudinal stripe ; but no light spot on the hind-wings. 



GENUS EUPLOCAMUS. (Tineidce.) 

 Euplocamus, Latreille, Gen. Crust. Ins. iv. p. 223 (1809); Von 



Heinemann, Schmett. Deutschl. (2), ii. (i), p. 35 (1870). 

 The species included in this genus are among the largest of 

 the European Tinea. They are conspicuously coloured, with 

 large white or coloured spots and markings on a black ground ; 

 and the antennae of the males are furnished with very long 

 diverging cilia. The larvae live in rotten trees and tree-fungi 

 in spring, and the moths appear in summer.
