Imago *. — Palpi projecting. Head and collar of the darker colour 

 of forewings, the thorax and abdomen paler. $ . 42mm. — 58mm. in 

 expanse. Antennae strongly pectinated. Abdomen somewhat tufted, 

 with long hairs. Anterior wings varying from yellow to rich pur- 

 plish-brown {anted, p. 162); with three, darker, transverse lines, one 

 near the base, another running obliquely from the apex to near the 

 middle of the inner margin, the third subterminal, and formed of a 

 series of arches, roughly parallel with the outer margin ; a silvery-white 

 or ochreous discal or median spot, usually a second smaller, but similar 

 spot between this and the costa. Posterior wings yellowish to dark 

 fuscous-brown, usually with a dark transverse median shade crossing 

 the wing from the apex to the inner margin. $ . 58mm. — 75mm. in

 the $ ; posterior wings rather darker outside the median shade. 



Subfam. : Eutrichinte. 



We have already (antea, p. 112) noted the tribal divisions into 

 which we group the Palaearctic members of this subfamily, viz., 

 Odonestidi and Eutrichidi. There is, in the British fauna, no 

 representative of the first of these, both the British Eutrichids 

 (sens, strict.) belonging to the last-named. The most closely allied 

 subfamily to this, represented in the British fauna, is the subfamily 

 Cosmotrichinae, which, as we have already seen, possesses but 

 a single British representative, Cosmotriche potatoria. The subfamily
