Hindwings 1, rather dark grey. Has occurred lately in London near the Docks, not uncommonly, doubtless introduced, but perhaps establishing itself ; S. Europe, but lately established in France (Paris); 7-9. Larva has been stated to feed on lichens. 2. S. quadripuncta, Hw. {kin- Nourationofsmdripta. dermanniella, HS.) 12-16 mm. Fore wings narrower, blackish- fuscous ; extreme base, a spot or cloudy fascia near base, a moderately broad central fascia, and an irregular sometimes interrupted fascia at f pale ochreous-yellowish. Hindwings pale grey. S. England to Suffolk and Gloucester, E. Ireland, local; C. and S. Europe, WC. Asia to N. Persia; 7, 8. 3. OEOOPHOPJDAE. Head with appressed or sometimes loose scales, side-tufts often spreading. Basal joint of antennae usually with peetcn. Labial palpi more or less long, curved, ascending, terminal joint acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed. Posterior tibiae rough-haired. Forewings: lb furcate or rarely simple, 7 and 8 stalked, or rarely coincident. Hindwings 1 or less, ovate to lanceolate ; all veins present, 3 and 4 connate or approximated, 5 parallel or sometimes approximated to 4, 6 and 7 remote, nearly parallel, 8 free. This family is moderately numerous in all regions, but in Australia it is abnormally predominant, the number of known species from that region already exceeding 900, although the fauna is very incompletely explored. The structure is very constant throughout the family. Larva more or less elongate, with 10 prologs; feeding amongst spun leaves or seeds or
