Antennae 4/5 ; labial palpi from porrect to ascending, third joint 2/3 as long as second, pointed, second roughly haired. Head, palpi, scapulae, thorax, abdomen and legs a medium fawn-brown. Basic color of fore wings greyish-white, with no discernible pattern but with a dense and uniform irroration of fawn-brown scales which almost form a double, vertical pair of spots at end of cell. Ciliae grey, with the brown scales protruding on them along termen. Hind wings a light brownish grey, semitranslucent, ciliae grey, long. Differs from the allied vetustella Zerny by its patternless fore wings and coloration. Its male organ supports two large appendages of which the costal one is distinguished by its strongly protruding base, the dorsal by its blunt, rounded head (fig. 7 : H), thereby differring from vetustella Zerny, and especially molitor Wlsghm. Holotype male: Bithynia, Bolu, 11-20. VI, 1934, leg. Schwinge n s c h u s s, Museum Vienna, gen. prep. 523. Type in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. oxybiella Milliere 1872. Its male organ distinguished by the highly recurved and pointed, sickle-shaped dorsal appendage, which is a form I have not met with in any of the species examined by me. Amse l's oxybiella Mill, specimen, on which he erected the genus Symmocoides Ams., is a curiously aberrative specimen, which I have seen. It is indubitably an oxybiella Mill.
