margined at its inner edge, is followed by a similar patch nearer to the apex, along the inner edge of 
which runs a slender darker line which is continued downward nearly to the tornus, the space between 
it and the termen being also shaded with greyish fuscous; cilia fawn-grey, mottled with greyish

27. Tortrix hypocrita, sp. n. 
Antennae shining, pale cinereous. Palpi not projecting beyond the head ; obtuse ; dark fawn-brown. Head 
and Thorax dark fawn-brown. Forewings, costa somewhat convex, termen distinetly sinuate below the 
produced apex; pale reddish grey, with dark fawn-brown markings ; a slender curved line, leaving the 
costa at one-fourth, ends in a tuft of projecting scales on the dorsum nearer to the base ; beyond it, a 
little before the middle of the dorsum, arises a broader streak tending obliquely outward to the upper 
edge of the cell; an angulated streak before the apex, its upper half reaching the costa at one-fourth 
from the apex, its lower half nearly parallel with the termen but not reaching to the tornus; beyond 
this are three short costal streaks before the apex, and a few less conspicuous, short transverse striae 
are visible between the larger markings; cilia pale ochreous, mixed with fawn-brown, a dark line 
running along their base and overspreading them at the extreme apex. Hep. al.14mm. Hindwings 
pale, shining, greyish, much speckled and reticulated with darker shades; cilia shining, greyish, with a

half as long as the median. Head fawn-whitish. Thoraw very pale fawn; the tegulae with a small 
chocolate spot in front, whitish behind. orewings shining, whitish, suffused across their middle with 
rosy lilac; with four conspicuous chocolate-brown patches, two costal, two dorsal, the first costal 
slightly before the middle, and the second dorsal before the commencement of the dorsal cilia, short and 
evenly quadrangular, an irregular curved spot of the same colour lying between them on the cell; the 
first dorsal, at one-fourth from the base, tending obliquely outward, irregularly quadrangular, sending 
an excrescence to the upper edge of the cell; the second costal patch, larger and irregularly quadrangular 
tends obliquely inward, its outer edge parallel to the oblique termen; a few dark chocolate spots aloiig 
the costa and some narrow streaks above the tornus ; there is alsoa rosy lilac patch on the middle of the 
termen and a few golden yellow scales between the dorsal and costal patches, especially around their 
extremities ; cilia yellowish white, broken by a dark grey patch about the middle of the outer margin
