ANARSTIA. 143 
Capilli depressi. Ocelli nulli. Antenne articulis confertis, vix denti- 
culatis. Hanstellum mediocre, squamatum. Palpi maxillares brevis- 
simi. Palpi labiales longi, reflexi, articulo secundo infra in fascicu- 
lum producto, tertio squamis appressis, apicem versus levi acuminato. 
Ale elongate, posteriores ante apicem Jeviter sinuate, mediocriter 
ciliatee, 
“Head smooth. Ocelli none. Antenne with the joints thickly set, 
hardly denticulate. Tongue of moderate length, clothed with scales. 
Maxillary palpi extremely short. Labial palpi long, reflexed ; the se- 
cond joint beneath prolonged into a tuft ; the third joint with appressed 
scales, towards the apex smooth and pointed. Wings elongate; the 
posterior slightly sinuated before the apex, with moderately long cilia. 
But one species is known in this genus; and although the per- 
fect insect is not uncommonly found on the trunks of poplars, the 
larva has not yet been observed. It is true that Madame Lienig 
has described a larva as belonging to this species, which she says 
lives in June on dirches, making holes in the leaves; but some 
error is probable here, as the perfect insect seems exclusively at- 
tached to poplars.

Head and face grey. Palpi yellowish, the projecting tuft of the se- 
cond joint pale grey, with a dark grey streak on the side; the terminal

the wing (on the costa are two or three minute dark fuscous spots) ; 
cilia grey, varied with fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with paler 
cilia. 
Common on the trunks of Lombardy poplars, in September and 
October.
