*CHARACTER NOTES 
#4. This character is not reliably applicable to female specimens.
The data are mostly taken from Meyrick, who rarely refers directly
to the situation in females. 
#11. Published descriptions of wing colours and patterns are often very
inadequate and misleading, with later efforts comparing poorly with
Newman's. For example, compare the latter's genuinely informative
description of The Beautiful Carpet with Meyrick's inadequate and
boring attempt to be scientific. \par{}Ferrugineous: rust-coloured,
reddish-brown. \par{}Fuscous: sombre brownish grey. \par{}Ochreous: pale
yellowish- or orangish-brownish, straw-coloured. \par{}Umber: greenish
brown. Burnt umber: dark (as if charred) greenish brown. 
#24. Published descriptions of wing colours and patterns are often very
