GENUS 7. Evetria, Hb. TYPE taedella, Cl. 



The principle feature of this genus is the hooded uncus, and 

 the strong base of the socii. The species composing this 

 and the following genera show connecting links with the 

 genus Astatia. 



Evetria nigricana H-S. 1 1 



Valva wider above; sacculus spines in a patch; uncus short, 

 hooded, cleft, tips broad; socii long, slender, tapered, with 

 dense black base. Cornuti about 22. 



Ovipositor flattened, wider above. Ostium narrow, 

 minutely spined. Signa large, scobinate. 



Evetria rubiginosana H-S. 1 2 



F. G. Whittle, R. Adkin. 



Valva wide, below; sacculus spines a large patch towards 

 base. Uncus wider above, emarginate; socii long, slender, 

 tapered, base thickened. Cornuti about 16. 



Ovipositor very flattened, widest in centre, spines almost 

 without tubercles. Ostium narrow, with deep internal collar. 

 Signa long, curved, scobinate. 



Evetria distinctana, Bent. M.S.S., Wilk. 1 1 



?=; proximana H-S. A. E. Atmore. 

 If H-S. proximana, Vol. IV., pub. 1843-56, is the same 

 species as Bentley's M.S.S. distinctana, first published by 

 Wilkinson in 1859, the name proximana appears to us to 

 have priority, unless Haworth's fraternana, pub. 1803-1829, 

 be this insect, in which case fraternana has still further 

 priority. Stephen's description appears to agree, but Wood's 

 figure 2112 does not seem recognisable. 



Valva with indistinct cucullus, spines at the anal angle; 

 sacculus spines in a patch; uncus comparatively long, deeply 

 cleft, tips bluntly pointed; socii long, slender, slightly 

 tapered, base thickened, drooping (drawn upright in figure); 

 cornuti about 22. 



Ovipositor flattened. Ostium narrow, collar short. 

 Signa large, scobinate.
