GENUS 1. Cncphasia, Curt. TYPE pasivana, Hb. 



Valva elongate, sacculus well developed terminating in a 

 tuft of aglutinated spines; tegumen high. Uncus heavily 

 and minutely spined; socii drooping. ^SCdceagus cardinate, 

 cornuti absent, except in incertana and abrasana.

Cncphasia incertana, Tr. A. Lofthouse 64 

 The retractile ovipositor and long uncus without the minute 

 spines but set with hairs, and the broad gnathos, seem to 

 place this and probably abrasana in a separate genus. 



Valva curved; sacculus brought well inwards toward 

 the centre. Uncus long, set with long regular hairs, tip 

 dentate; gnathos broad. 



Ovipositor retractile. Ostium narrow; signum short, 

 sides parallel, dentate. 



Cnephasia abrasana, Dup. 10 



This species has been introduced into the British list, but 

 so far we have failed to find any British example. The 

 true abrasana is in the collections of Heinemann and Frey 

 in the British Museum. The preparation here given is a 

 male from a series of four specimens in Dr. Mason's 

 Continental types. Of the four specimens two had no body, 

 another was a female with a floricomous genitalia to the 

 glued -on body, and one a true abrasana male 



Valva straight; sacculus very short, broad, with large 

 tuft of spines (chrysantheana form). Uncus set with long 

 regular hairs.
