 its fore wings, and by the very long and slender palpi, having the terminal joint exposed and very distinct ; the 

 antennae in the males are scarcely pubescent beneath ; the head is densely tufted, and the thorax is not tufted. 



Species 1. — Phtheochroa rugosana' — (Plate C, Fig. 9) — Measures about f inch in expanse ; fore wings 



ashy-buff, glossy, and rugose with dots, lineote and costal streaks of white, one of which resembles the letter V, 



near the middle of the costa ; behind which is a short interrupted black fascia, and a bright flesh-coloured dash 



(which fades immediately after death) ; near the apical margin is an incurved brown fascia, with black dots upon 



a pale ground, extending to the middle of the margin ; hind wings ashy. Taken in hedges and woods, about
