GELECHIA. 101 
Tlead smooth. Ocelli none. Antenne with the joints thickly set. 
Tongue of moderate length, clothed with scales. Maxillary palpi very 
short. Labial palpi moderately long, reflexed; the second joint be- 
neath resembling a brush; the terminal joint thin and pointed, above 
with projecting scales. Abdomen rather depressed. Anterior wings 
elongate, with raised tufts of seales; the cilia moderately long. Pos- 
terior wings trapezoidal, the hinder margin slightly sinuated before 
the anal angle, and slightly emarginate below the apex, with longer 
cilia. 
Only one species is at present known in this genus. 
1. gibbosella, Zell. Isis, 1839. p. 202.—Zephyrella, Step.? Alis 
anticis griseo-marmoratis, costam versus dilutioribus, ipsa basi dorsi 
albida, striga obliqua juxta basim nigra, macula oblonga coste mediz 
fusca, fascia postica angulata albida obsoleta, maculis tribus scabris 
supra plicam fuseis. Exp. al. 8 lin. 
Head and face greyish-fuscous. Palpi yellowish ; terminal joint fus- 
cous, except the apex. Antenne fuscous, with paler annulations. An- 
terior wings marbled-grey, with the extreme base of the inner margin 
whitish, and an oblique black streak very near the base (as in many of 
the Depressaria); the costal half of the wing is generally paler, but 
there is a conspicuous fuscous blotch on the costa about the middle ; 
the pale angulated fascia is rather indistinct ; along the fold are three 
fuscous tufts of elevated scales ; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings 
fuscous, paler at the base, with greyish-fuscous cilia. 
Not common; has occurred in Hainault Forest in July. The 
larva (according to Lienig) feeds in June, on sallows, turning 
down a corner of a leaf.
