4. Tortrix apertana, sp. n. 
Antennae shortly ciliate in the 9, probably much more strongly in the 3 ; pale rust-brown. Palpi pale 
rust-brownish. Head pale creamy ochraceous. Forewings, with the costa very slightly depressed 
beyond the middle, apex produced, termen concave below the apex, tornus rounded; pale creamy 
ochraceous, minutely reticulate throughout with sinuate, irregular, pale rust-brownish lines; at one-fifth 
from the base is a slender, outwardly oblique, inconspicuous, brownish costal streak, vanishing on the 
cell; this is followed, at about the middle, by a slightly wider parallel streak descending to the lower 
angle of the cell, where it becomes furcate and is deflected downward to the dorsum in two very slender 
lines, scarcely distinguishable from surrounding lines of reticulation ; at two-thirds is a shorter parallel 
streak, followed by three or four small rust-brown marginal spots; apical and terminal cilia reddish 
brown ; underside rather darker, subreticulate, with four small fuscous costal spots beyond the middle. 
Exp. al. 34 mm. Hindwings straw-whitish, with slight pale fuscous speckling beyond the middle ; 
cilia whitish, with six or seven small fuscous dots at their base along the termen. Abdomen pale bone- 
grey. Legs pale ochraceous, slightly stained with brownish.
