LEPIDOPTERA. 7 
the group, but not being used to distinguish the other groups, 
are not included in the essential characters; they are rather short, 
triangular, compressed, with thin, short, not recurved terminal 
joint. 
7. TINEINA, Stainton. 
Tineacea, Zeller. 
Tineidee, Duponchel, Herrich-Schaffer. 
Tineidee partim cé Yponomeutide, Stephens. 
Antenne setacee, raro pectinate vel ciliate, corpore longiores.  Ocelli 
adsunt rarius. 
Corpus gracile. 
Ale elongate, longe vel longissime ciliate, presertim posteriores, he raro 
elongato-trapezoidales, plerumque sensim attenuata, sine pictura. 
Larva 16 aut 14 pedibus instructa. 
Antenne setaceous, rarely pectinated or ciliated, longer than the body. 
Ocelli rarely present. Body slender. Wings elongate, with long or very 
long cilia (this is probably the most distinctive character of the Tineina ; 
indeed there appears to be a gradual progression from the Diurnal 
Lepidoptera, where the cilia are shortest, to the Péerophorina and Alu- 
citina), more especially the posterior pair ; these are rarely of an elongate- 
trapezoidal form (in Depressaria, Semioscopis, and Huplocamus, the pos- 
terior wings are rather broad, but have not the form or shortness of 
those of the Zortricina ; Hypercallia has regular Tortriciform posterior 
wings, but the antenne and palpi show it to be a true member of the 
Tineina), mostly remarkably attenuated, without markings. The larve 
generally with siwteen, many with fourteen feet ; the development of the 
feet varies greatly. 
8. PTHPROPHORINA, Stainton. 
Pterophoride, Zeller ; Herrich-Schaffer. 
Pterophorites, Duponchel. 
Alucitidee pars, Sfephens. 
Autenne setacee. 
Corpus gracile, elongatum, pictum. 
Pedes elongati. 
Ale longe ciliate, anteriores bifide, posteriores trifida. 
Antenne setaceous. Body slender, elongated, with markings. Legs 
elongated. Wings with long cilia, the anterior bifid, the posterior trifid. 
(4gdistes has the wings entire, but the place where the fissure of the 
anterior wings should be is scantily furnished with scales.)
