sex-articulati. Palpi labiales articulo secundo infra fasciculato-piloso, 
ultimo tenui adscendente. Vaustellum breve. Ale anteriores: e 
cellula discoidali vense 4 in marginem costalem prodeunt. 
Head above and in front hairy. Ocelli none. Antennee shorter 
than the anterior wings, in the ¢ either pectinated or with tufts of 
fine hairs (the latter is the case in the only British species known). 
Maxillary palpi folded, six-jointed. Labial palpi with the second joint 
beneath with a tuft of hair, third joint slender, erect. ‘Tongue short. 
Wings oblong, with rather short cilia. From the discoidal cell of the 
anterior wings four veins run to the hinder margin. 
Tn this genus occur some of the largest species of Zineina ; the 
only one yet detected in the country is however of moderate size. 
The larvee feed in fungi.

Head and face ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Palpi pale ochreous, 
mixed with fuscous; terminal joint pale ochreous, with a ring at the” 
base and another before the apex, dark fuscous. Antenne fuscous. 
Anterior wings pale ochreous, clouded with fuscous and spotted with 
dark fuscous; at the base of the costa is a large fuscous cloud 
reaching to the fold, immediately beyond it is a fuscous blotch on the 
costa, and beyond the middle is another fuscous blotch on the costa, 
which almost appears connected with a large fuscous blotch on the 
middle of the inner margin; on the costa towards the apex are two 
small fuscous spots, and on the dise before the hinder margin are four 
oblong dark fuscous spots placed on the nervures; cilia dark fuscous, 
with four pale ochreous patches ; one on the costa, one in the middle, 
and one at the bottom of the hinder margin, and the fourth at the anal 
angle. Posterior wings rather dark fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Not common; occasionally found in the south of England. 
The larva feeds in fungi. The perfect insect appears in July.
