and minute supramedian blackish dots near base; six small oblique marks of 
blackish irroration on costa between ^ and apex ; an oblique undefined narrow 
fascia of dark fuscous sprinkling from before middle of costa to dorsum before 
tornus, followed by a light greyish-ochreous streak from costa reaching half 
across wing, then by a grey-whitish streak, and then a trianguffir patch of

TORTRICIDAE 
Crothaema Butl. 
Tongue absent. Antennae ^ shortly ciliated. Palpi moderate, with 
oppressed scales, obliquely ascending, terminal joint very short. Thorax with 
large dense rough double crest. Forewings with 2 from near |^, 3 from angle, 
8 and 9 stalked, 8 to termen, ii from beyond middle. Hindwings without 
cubital pecten, but long discal hairs closely approaching vein beneath; 2-7 
remote, nearly parallel. 
I have elsewhere stated the generic characters wrongly, owing to mistaken 
inclusion of the following genus. The true characters are extraordinary and 
abnormal in the family, but Prodidactis is an undoubted connecting link with 
Epichorista. C. sericea and C. decovata are distinct species, and there is another 
undescribed in the British Museum.
