14 EXAPATIDA. 
turatiore fusco; ? alis anticis brevissimis angustissimis dilute griseis 
(vix roseo-suffusis) fasciis duabus nigris, altcra in medio, altera ante 
apicem. Exp. al. 8 lin.; 9 34 lin. 
Head, face, and palpi reddish-fuscous. Antenne dark fuscous. An- 
terior wings pale greyish-fuscous, with a strong rosy tint, palest on the 
disc, with a dark fuscous fascia-form mark nearly in the middle, and two 
dark fuscous spots on the disc, almost wnited, beyond the middle ; hinder 
margin rather dark fuscous; cilia pale reddish-fuscous. Posterior wings 
fuscous, towards the base rather paler, with pale fuscous cilia. 
The female has the anterior wings extremely abbreviated and very 
narrow, pale grey, with a very slight rosy tint, with a black fascia in 
the middle, and another immediately before the apex. 
England and (south of Scotland?) ; April; not uncommon.

Capilli superne suberecti, in fronte decumbentes. Ocelli nulli. An- 
tenn crassiuscule, ¢ dense ciliate, vel pubescentes. Palpi labiales 
adscendentes, articulo secundo dense squamato, tertio levi acuto. 
Haustellum breve, basi parce squamata. Ale mediocriter ciliate, 
anteriores oblongo-ovate (? abbreviate acuminate), posteriores 
ovate (9 abbreviate acuminate) ; anteriores: vena apicalis furcata 
supra et infra apicem exit, infra eam vene quingue, ultima parum 
curva, subdorsalis furcata; posteriores: yena apicalis simplex ante 
apicem exit, infra eam yenes due e venula transversa, mediana /ri- 
ida. 
Tread above with the hairs rather erect, in front smooth. Ocelli 
none. Antenne rather thick, in the ¢ densely ciliated or pubescent. 
Labial palpi ascending ; the second joint thickly scaled; the terminal 
joint smooth and pointed. Tongue short, with a few scales at the base. 
Wings with moderate cilia; the anterior in the ¢ oblong-ovate, in the 
@ short and pointed; the posterior in the ¢ ovate, in the ? short and 
narrow. In the anterior wings the furcate apical vein terminates in 
the costa, and in the hinder margin; below it are jive veins, of which 
the last is slightly curved; the subdorsal vein is furcate. In the pos- 
terior wings the simple apical vein terminates in the costa before the 
apex; below it are two veins from the transverse vein; the median 
vein is (rifid. 
This genus comprises only two species, one of which appears in 
autumn, the other in spring; from the structure of the palpi and 
antenne they may be separated thus :—
