In Phlogophora (from pXof flame, and to 
carr)', in allusion to the shape of the markings on 
the anterior wings) the antennsa are long, slender, 
;md ciliated ; the abdomen tufted at the base ; the 
anterior tvings rather nan'ow, with a sinuosity on 
the hinder margin and several ragged teeth ; the 
hinder wings very slightly dentate on the edge. 
The only British species is that figured. The upper 
wings, which usually measure nearly two inches 
across, are pale rosy-white, more or less clouded 
tvith olive-brown, each of them with a large tri- 
angular purplish mark in the centre, beyond which 
there is a white band, the margin more or less 
marbled with olive-brotra. The hinder wings are 
whitish, sometimes with a faint rosy tinge pos- 
teriorly, having a dusky central crescent, and two 
or three faint transverse waved dusky lines.
