Type species: Phalaena dodecella Linnaeus, 1758 , by monotypy. Description. Imago ( Fig. 58 ). Labial palpus third segment shorter than second. Clypeus with ventral margin truncate. Antenna flattened laterally, longer than half forewing length. Ocellus present ( Fig. 1 ). Posterior area of sitophore with four campaniform sensilla in asymmetrical trapezoid pattern; anterior area with two or four campaniform sensilla. Forewing (length/width ratio 4.3) with tufts of raised scales, male with black sex scales on underside between R1 and R5; R5, M1, M2, and M3 separate, CuA1 and CuA2 present; median fascia transverse or directed from base of costa toward posterior margin. Hindwing (length/width 4.7) with R5, M1, M2, and M3 separate; M3 and CuA1 connate. Male abdominal sternum VIII with length 0.75 width; tergum VIII distinctly longer than sternum VIII, with pair of anterolateral hair pencils. Male genitalia ( Fig. 30 ): uncus mitre shaped, longer than wide and widest near base; ventral part of gnathos stout, hook shaped, with median articulation, dorsal part absent; costal and saccular parts of valva present; tegumen basal width/length ratio 1.1; vinculum a sclerite; saccus well developed; fulcrum of phallus well developed, phallus widened basally, curved below middle or near apex, without cornuti.

Female genitalia: apophyses anteriores about 2.5 x length of abdominal segment VIII; antrum not developed; combined length of ductus and corpus bursae shorter than in Recurvaria , extending nearly to about apex of apophyses anteriores; signum absent. Larva. Length approximately 4.5 mm ; head brown to black; prothoracic shield with small black pinacula; prolegs with 4 to 5 crochets ( Keifer 1932 ; Meyrick 1895 ). Pupa. Proboscis not reaching the end of pro- and mesothoracic legs; prothoracic legs exceeding mesothoracic legs ( Patoèka and Turcáni 2005 ). Diagnosis. Exoteleia species superficially resemble those of Coleotechnites . Both genera are known to feed on coniferous and deciduous hosts. Exoteleia species are distinguishable from Coleotechnites by the bilaterally symmetrical male genitalia and the mitre shaped uncus. Hosts. Fagaceae : Quercus dumosa Nutt. ( E. graphicella ). Pinaceae : Larix decidua Mill. ( E. dodecella ), Picea abies (L.) ( E. pinifoliella ), Pinus spp. ( E. anomala , E. burkei , E. dodecella , E. burkei , E. nepheos , E. pinifoliella , E. succinctella ).

Diversity and distribution. This genus includes eight species occurring in eastern and western United States , eastern Canada , and throughout Europe ( Fletcher 1929 ; Freeman 1960 , 1963 , 1967 ; Hodges 1983 , 1985 ; Huemer and Karsholt 1999 ; Meyrick 1925 , 1928 ; Patoèka 1987 ).
