LOPHODERUS, Stephens. 

 The palpi are slender and porrected, with the terminal joint distinct ; the antenna) short, with the joints 

 slightly serrated and setose beneath in the males, the head tufted, the thorax also crested behind ; the fore wings 

 are rounded along the costa, the disc destitute of fascia, but with a smooth raised pale patch at the extremity of 

 the discoidal cell. 



Species 1. — Lophoderus ministranus "^ — (Plate XCI., Fig. 5) — Measures 9 or 10 lines in expanse; fore 

 wings rusty red-brown, wth the costa at the base, and a broad ill-defined bar towards the extremity of yellowish 

 buff ; on the disc is a raised whitish dot, and opposite to it, on the apical margin, the tawny-red forms a slight 

 angle ; occasionally the wings are destitute of the yellowish colour ; hind wings brown, with pale fringe. Taken 

 near Dover, Portsmouth, and elsewhere, sometimes abundantly.

SARROTHRIPUS, Curtis. T. PALPAN^, Haworth. AXIA, Hijbner. 

 These insects are conspicuous for their large size ; their fore wings rounded at the base of the costa, the disc 

 having a few raised scales ; the palpi are long, slender and porrected in front of the head, like a beak, and the 

 fore legs are furnished with a long brush of hair on the femora and tibiae. Mr. Haworth long ago remarked 

 that it is possible that nearly all the articles of this Section may form but one species, of which, however, there 

 was no satisfactory proof; and Treitschke has united them all into one species, Penthena revoyana. The 

 species are generally found in the autumn. The caterpillars are setose, and they form a, boat-shaped cocoon. 



Species 1. — Sarrothripds DEGENERANUsf — (Plate XCI., Figs. 7,8, 9, 10) — Measures 1 inch in expanse; ' -'<=«•'=**■"-' 



fore wings shining, hoary, and clouded with brown, with numerous obsolete, undulated strigae, and elevated '^^mm ttiu.h<fJ 



brown spots, and a larger fulvous one in the place of the anterior stigma of the Noctuidee, and a row of sub- %^u^ a<**<^ 



apical brown dots ; hind wings pale brown. Found from July to December, in woods and forests in tlie south 



of England.

Species 2. — Sarrothripus undulanus" — (Plate XCI., Fig. 11) — Measures 10 or 11 lines in expanse; 

 fore wino-s hoary, with a shining gloss, and some obscure brown dots, and two slender-waved brown streaks, 

 one before, and the other beyond the middle, both duplicated, and having between them a fulvous dot and a 

 subapical row of brown dots ; hind wings pale brown. Taken in the same localities as the preceding, of which 

 it may be a variety of the male.
