A handbook of British lepidoptera CUbiodiversity1126142 Year: 1895 ( TINEINA [STATHMOPODA J, linear-lanceolate, cilia 6; transverse vein partly absent, G and 7 connate. A rather extensive genus, occurring especially in Australia, New Zealand, the Indo-Malayan and African regions; only two species have been found in Europe. Larva feeding in fruits or galls. Pupa in a silken cocoon. Imago with forewings narrow, broadest near base, long-pointed. All the species in repose often carry the posterior legs semierect, projecting between the anterior and middle pairs. 1. S. pedella, L. 10-14 mm. Forewings ochreous-yellow; costal edge fuscous ; three irregular fuscous fasciae at base, \, and f, first and second connected by a dorsal streak, second and third not quite reaching costa, connected in disc by a fine longitudinal line; a small fuscous apical spot; cilia fuscous. Hindwings dark grey. Kent to Norfolk, local; C. Europe; 7. Larva stout, pale reddish-brown ; head brown; plate of 2 dark brown : in fruits of alder; 9. 7. Elaohista, Tr. Antennae f, in $ simple. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint smooth, terminal shorter, acute. Posterior tibiae rough-haired. Forewings: lb simple, 4 sometimes absent, 5 absent, 6 out of 7, 7 to costa, 8 out of 7 or absent, 9 sometimes out of 7. Hindwings |-|, narrow- lanceolate, cilia 3-5; 4 sometimes absent, 5 absent, transverse vein sometimes partly absent, 6 and 7 stalked. A large cosmopolitan genus, apparently most characteristic of Europe. The species are often very similar and difficult to dis- tinguish. Imago with forewings lanceolate. Larva mining in leaves of Gramineae or Cyperaceae. Pupa usually ex- posed, fastened by tail and median belt, but sometimes in cocoon. 1. Markings of forewings pale golden-metallic . 2. >> ,, not golden-metallic . 3. 2. ForewiDgs with thick fascia near base 3. magnificella. „ without subbasal fascia 4. gleichenella. Nonrat
