Ha worth's idionym " v-Jlava " has been changed to " v-jlavum," 

 despite its acceptance, with explanation of derivation, by the 

 Entomological Societies of Oxford and Cambridge [Ace. List Br. 

 Lp. 90 (1858)], and Stephens' genus is still written " Oinophila" 

 although corrected to " Oenophila." by the same Societies (I. c.). 

 Smith (Smaller Lat-Eng. Diet. '596) writes of the letter V : 

 " V, indecl. n. or (litera, subaud.) f" Haworth's idioiiym is 

 therefore correctly formed, and the alteration unnecessary.

 (Plate LIII. fig. 11.) 



Antennae pale olivaceous brownish, with a bronzy sheen above ; 

 pale yellowish beneath. Palpi short, divergent ; pale ochreous, 

 a brownish shade on the outer side of the terminal joint. Head 

 ochreous, with a raised rust-brown crest between the antennae ; 

 face shining, pale yellowish ochreous. Thorax ochreous. Fore- 

 wings dark olivaceous brown, with two shining, pale ochreous, 

 transverse fasciae ; the first, at one-third from the base, angulated 

 outward at the middle, the angle produced outward along the 

 cell, forming a continuous bar reaching to the middle of the 

 outer fascia, at three-fourths from the base, which is inverted 

 obliquely from costa to dorsum ; this median bar is continued, in 

 a diffused and rather obscure band, from the inner side of the 

 first fascia to the base, leaving the dark ground-colour broader 

 above it, and narrower below it along the margins it is also 

 continued beyond the outer fascia, with slight interruption, along 

 the termen and through the cilia around the apex ; cilia smoky 

 brownish grey; underside strongly iridescent, with scattered 

 metallic scales on a bronzy fuscous ground. Exp. al. 8-9 mm. 

 Hindwings bronzy brownish, with a few iridescent metallic scales
