  Antennce

  each 
  of

  straight 
  

  

  costa, 
  rounded

  (scarcely

  a 
  very 
  indistinct 
  

  

  oblique 
  fascia-form

  of 
  the 
  same

  wings, 
  

  

  and 
  with 
  a 
  more 
  fuscous 
  shade 
  owing 
  to

  The 
  subochreous 
  markings 
  on 
  this 
  plainly 
  coloured 
  

   species 
  are 
  very 
  indistinct, 
  and 
  probably 
  almost 
  obsolete 
  

   on 
  some 
  examples, 
  unless 
  taken 
  in 
  fine 
  condition. 
  They 
  

   seem 
  to 
  constitute 
  a 
  sufficient 
  ground 
  for 
  separating 
  the 
  

   species 
  from 
  the 
  South 
  European 
  D. 
  granigerella, 
  Stgr., 
  

   to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  nevertheless 
  closely 
  allied. 
  

  

  It 
  seems 
  desirable 
  to 
  subdivide 
  the 
  Tineida
