A handbook of British lepidoptera CUbiodiversity1126142 Year: 1895 ( goniodoma] orange ; a slender costal streak from base to middle, a discal streak from to a spot at 3, a streak along fold throughout, a dorsal streak from base to near tornus, three inwardly oblique marks on costa posteriorly, a streak along tcrmen, and an apical dash golden-metallic, edged with dark fuscous scales. Hind wings rather dark grey. Kent, I. of Wight, local; other records doubtful; 7, 8. Larva pale yellow; head, two spots on 2, and four on 3 brown : in a case made of a dead flower, on flowers of Staiice limonium; 9. It bores into a stem for pupation, leaving the case attached outside. 2. Coleophoba, Mb. Antennae j, porrccted in repose, often thickened with scales towards base, in £ simple, basal joint long, usually with rough scales or projecting tuft. Labial palpi rather long, recurved, second joint more or less rough- scaled or tufted towards apex beneath, terminal shorter, acute. Posterior tibiae rough - haired. Forewings with costa often long- haired beneath; lb furcate, 4 sometimes absent, 5 absent, 6 and 7 connate or stalked, 7 to costa, 8 absent. Hindwings I, linear-lanceolate, cilia 3-4 ; transverse veins sometimes partly absent, 4 usually absent, 6 and 7 closely approximated or stalked. A very large genus, but apparently confined to the Northern hemisphere, with the exception of two or three stragglers ; it seems to reach its greatest development in Southern Europe, but is numerously represented throughout Europe, N. and C. Asia, and N. America. The species arc often extremely similar and hard to distinguish accurately unless the habits of the larvae are known. Many are unicolorous; hardly any show a trace of the stigmata, and noue have any transverse markings, but longitudinal lines oil the veins are frequent. Imago with forewings very elongate-lanceolate. Larva mining when very young, afterward
