AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS. 193 



LOPHONOTUS, Stephens. 



The fore wings in this genus are very narrow, subfalcate at the tip, and with the inner margin 3-fasclcu- 

 lated, as in the prominent moths ; the hind wings are narrow, very acute, and witli very long fringe ; the labial 

 palpi are slender, divergent, and bent upwards in front of the eyes ; the maxillary palpi are short. 



Species 1. — Lophonotus fasciculellus — (Stephens, 111. H. pi. 39, fig. 1 ; Wood, fig. 1234, and our Plate 

 CVIIL, Fig. 1) — Expands 6| lines ; fore wings ashy-brown, irrorated with blade and buff scales, with an 

 indistinct blackish fascia near the middle, widest on the costa, beyond which is a series of black lines, interrupted 

 with white ; the apical portion of the wing tinged with reddish, and the inner margin with three tufts of reddish 

 scales, tipped with black ; hind wings gray-brown ; legs with pale rings. Whittlesea Mere, July ; very rare. 



ACRIA, Stephens. 

 The fore wings are rather long, linear, and with a circular notch on the middle of the costa ; the apex 

 dilated and rounded, and the palpi apparently short and divergent. Mr. Stephens thinks Donovan's figure aid 

 description (on which alone the genus and species are established, the specimen being lost), were made from an 

 injured insect. 



Species 1. — Acbia emarsinella — (Donovan, xi., pi. 392, fig. 3 ; "Wood, fig. 1260; and our Plate CVIII., 

 Fig. 2) — Expands 6 ? lines ; fore wings linear, ashy-gray, with the apex striped with brown. Found in Kent. 



CHELARIA, Haworth. (HYPATIMA, Hubner.) 

 This genus is named from the very long, recurved, divaricating palpi, of which the apical joint is long and 

 incurved, the basal part being clothed with scales longest above, leaving the tip nearly naked ; the fore wings 

 are long, narrow, and rather lanceolate, and the lower ones acute at the tips. 



Species 1. — Chelaria rhomboidella ^ — (Linnasus, &c.; Curtis, pi. 368; Wood, fig. 1235; and our 

 Plate CVIII., Fig. 3) — Expands from 6 to 8 lines; fore wings dirty ochre, slightly irrorated with dusky 

 scales, with a large subtriangular brown spot near the middle of the costa ; with two minute dots near the base 

 of the costa, and four or five paler ones near the apex, and with a blackish streak and two dots towards the 

 centre. August, in gardens ; widely dispersed. 



' Synon YMEs — Tinea conscriptella, Hubner, Haworth. 



Tinea Hubnerella, Donovan, xi., fol. 382, fig. 2. 



CLEODORA, Stephens. 

 The palpi are long, curved, porrected horizontally, and divergent ; the second joint as long as the fourth, 

 which is not squamose at the base ; the fore wings are long and narrow ; the fringe very long at the anal angle, 

 and also continued round the apex ; the hind wings have the apex suddenly narrowed. 



Species 1.— Cleodora silacella— (Hiibner, &c.; Wood, fig. 1236; and our Plate CVIII., Fig. 4) — 

 Expands from 7 to 9 lines ; fore wings ochreous-ashy, with two very minute, remote brown dots on the disc, 

 one succeeding the other, the inner margin often paler ; hind wings brown, shining. Near London, and in the 

 New Forest, about the end of July. The caterpillar feeds on the willow,
