ENDROSTS. 163 
1. quadripuncta, Haw. L. B. 557 (1829); Step. ?—bifusciella, 
Step.—Kindermanniella, Zell. lis anticis saturate fuscis, basi, ma- 
cula obliqua costa ante medium, fascia recta dentata in medio, maculis 
oppositis (costali majore) apicem versus dilute luteis. Exp. al. 62 lin. 
Mead dark fuseous. Face pale yellowish. Palpi pale yellowish ; 
the terminal joint with a faint fuscous ring at the base. Antennae fus- 
cous, the tips pale yellowish. Anterior wings dark fuscous, with the 
extreme base, a rather oblique blotch on the costa near the base, a 
nearly straight but indented fascia in the middle, and two opposite 
spots (of which the larger is on the costa) towards the hinder margin, 
pale yellowish; cilia pale grey. Posterior wings whitish-grey, with 
paler cilia. 
Sometimes occurs in houses, in July and August. 
Genus XXIII. ENDROSIS. 
Endrosis p., Wiib. V. 401 (1816). Weophora p., Zell. 
Capilli appressi, fronte lata. Ocelli nulli. Antenne: setacew, articulo 
basali elongata, subclavato. Haustellum mediocre, squamatum, 
Palpi maxillares breves, filiformes. Palpi labiales reflexi, compressi, 
articulo terminali tenui, acuto. Ale elongate, anteriores subtus 
penicillo xudlo, posteriores angulo anali distincto, plaga basali nuda ; 
anteriores: _venz apicalis ramus inferior supra apicem exit; median 
ramus primus a secundo valde distat; subdorsalis simplex sed fur- 
cata indicata; posteriores: cellula costalis adéreviata (ante medium 
venze subcostalis subito definit) ; e venula transversa vena unica pro- 
cedit ; vena apicalis simplex. 
Head smooth ; the forehead broad. Ocelli none. Antenne setaceous, 
with the basal joint elongate, subclavate. ‘Tongue of moderate length, 
clothed with scales. Maxillary palpi short, filiform. Labial palpi re- 
flexed, compressed; the terminal joint slender, pointed. Wings elon- 
gate; the anterior with xo drush beneath; the posterior with distinct 
anal angle, with a naked patch at the base. In the anterior wings the 
lower branch of the apical vein runs into the costa defore the apex ; the 
first branch of the median vein is remote from the second; the subdorsal 
vein is simple, but there are indications of a fork ; in the posterior wings 
the costal cell is abbreviated, ceasing abruptly in the middle of the 
subcostal vein; a single vein proceeds from the transverse vein; the 
apical vein is simple. 
There is only one species in this genus; if a rarity it would be 
considered extremely beautiful, but unfortunately being excess- 
sively abundant, and in all our houses, it is despised for less 
beautiful insects of greater rarity. It is however rarely seen in 
good condition, which may account for the neglect it experiences,
