12 EXAPATID®. 
Genus I. EXAPATE. 
Exapare, Hiib. V. 887 (1817). Cheimaphasia, Curt. Oaypate, Step. 
Cheimonophila, Dup. Diurnea p., Haw. Lemmatophila p., Treit. 
Hevapate p., Zell. 
Caput superne ac in fronte hirsutum. Ocelli supra oculos. Antenne 
crassiuscule, ¢ pubescentes, ? pilis parce vestitee. Palpi labiales 
(f) brevissimi, pilis vestiti ( longiores, porrecti). Haustellum 
nullum. Ale mediocriter ciliate, anteriores oblongo-ovate (2 an- 
gustate, abbreviate), posteriores ovatee (2 nullee) ; anteriores: vena 
apicalis simplex ante apicem exit, infra eam vene sea, quarum ultima 
a penultima longe distant, submediana abest, subdorsalis furca supe- 
rior obsoleta; posteriores: vena apicalis longe furcata supra et infra 
apicem exit, infra eam yenee due e venula transversa angulata, me- 
diana bifida. 
Head above and in front hairy. Ocelli placed above the eyes, An- 
tenne rather thick, in the ¢ pubescent, in the ? sparingly clothed 
with hairs. Labial palpi of the @ very short, clothed with hairs, of 
the ? longer and porrected. 'Tongue wanting. Wings with moderate 
cilia, the anterior in the ¢ oblong-ovate, in the 2 very narrow and 
very short, the posterior in the @ ovate, in the 9 wanting. In the 
* anterior wings the simple apical vein runs into the costa before the 
apex, below it are si# veins, of which the last is at a considerable dis- 
tance from the penultimate, the submedian vein is not indicated, and 
the upper branch of the subdorsal vein is obsolete. In the posterior 
wings the apical vein is extensively forked, terminating above and below 
the apex of the wing, beneath it are two veins from the angulated trans- 
verse vein, the median vein is bifid. 
There is only one species in this genus. The perfect insect ap- 
pears at the end of autumn, and is occasionally met with on old 
palings at night; the larva feeds in the summer (according to 
Lienig and Freyer) between united leaves of hawthorn and other 
plants (but according to other observers, in decayed wood).
