AGLOSSA, Lateeille. CRAMBUS, pars, Haworth. 

 The antennse in the males are bipectinated ; the labial palpi projecting considerably in front of the head ; 

 the terminal joint slender, and half as long as the preceding ; the maxillary palpi slender, but distinct ; the spiral 

 tongue almost rudimental ; the wings shining, broad, entire, with the apical margin rounded. The caterpillars 

 have four pairs of ventral feet. 



Species 1. — Aglossa pinguinalis '' — (Plate LXXV. Fig. 9) — Measures from 13 to 19 lines in expanse; 

 fore wings ashy, darkly pulverose, with a broad obscure dark striga near the base, followed by a narrower one, 

 most distinct on the costa, and a central dark dot ; beyond this are two very much waved obscure dark strigEe, 

 and the margin is dotted with black ; hind wings plain, or obsoletely bistrigose. The caterpillar is dull brown 

 and shining. It feeds on oleaginous matter ; and the moth appears at the end of the summer, and is very 

 common. The variety described by Mr. Haworth as distinct is smaller and more uniformly coloured, especially 

 on the hind wings. ^
