82 GELECHID &. 
Genus V. EXZERETIA. 
Exaretta, Sta. Ent. Trans. v. 152 (1849). 
Capilli depressi. Ocelli nulli. Antenne (3) pubescente-ciliatis, Haus- 
tellum mediocre, squamatum. Palpi maxillares brevissimi. Palpi 
labiales mediocres, reflexi, articulo secundo infra scopiformi, tertio 
tenui, levi, acuto. Ale oblong brevius ciliatee, anteriores costa levi- 
ter sinuata, ciliis sub apicem leviter retusis, posteriores margine pos- 
tico ante angulum analem rotundatum sinuato. Ale anteriores : 
vene apicalis furcate:’ ramus inferior im apicem exit; infra eam rami 
quinque; venee medianee rami duo primi in fuream conjuncti; sub- 
mediana a mediana distat, apice incrassato. Ale posteriores: vens 
_ subdorsales tres, tertia in basi pliceeformis; vena mediana trifida ; 
cellula costalis sensim coarctata; vena apicalis simplex. 
Head smooth. Ocelli none. Antenne (of the male) pubescent, 
Tongue of moderate length, scaled. Maxillary palpi very short. La- 
bial palpi moderately long, reflexed; the second joint bencath resem- 
bling a brush; the third joint slender, smooth, pointed. Wings ob- 
long, with short cilia; dhe costa of the anterior wings slightly sinuated, 
and the cilia below the apex very slightly emarginate ; the hinder margin 
of the posterior wings sinuated before the rounded anal angle. In the 
anterior wings the lower branch of the furcate apical vein runs into the 
apew; below it are five veins from the discoidal cell; the two first 
branches of the median vein are united into a fork; the apical portion 
of the submedian, which is remote from the median vein, is thickened. 
Tn the posterior wings are three subdorsal veins; the third thin to- 
wards the base; the median vein is trifid; the costal cell is perceptibly 
narrowed, and the apical vein is simple. 
Of this peculiar genus only one species is known, which till 
last year was very rare; it appears more frequent in the northern 
counties of Hngland, but one specimen was taken in Norfolk by 
Mr. Wing. ‘The species is thought to frequent the Artemisia 
vulgaris.

in qua macula disci saturate fusea, Exp. al. 10 lin. 
Head reddish-grey. Face leaden-grey. Palpi reddish-grey, inter- 
nally leaden-grey. Antenne dark fuscous. Anterior wings Jeaden- 
grey, with a reddish-grey blotch near the inner margin towards the 
base, a short reddish-grey oblique streak from the costa before the 
middle, terminating in a small dark fuscous spot, and an oblique reddish- 
grey streak from the costa a little beyond the middle, veaching nearly 
half across the wing; i this streak on the dise is an oblique dark fus- 
cous spot; the apical portion of the wing is rather clouded with reddish- 
ervey, and there are some reddish-grey spots along the apex of the costa ;
