288 HETEROCERA. 
chocolate costal patch, commencing before the middle, and margined on its inner edge by a narrow whitish 
ochreous line, contains a shining silvery white Y-shaped costal blotch, followed by a ferruginous spot, 
whence it emits a narrow chocolate band obliquely downwards to below the middle of the termen; a 
smaller chocolate streak crosses the apex, the basal half of the costa is marked by a series of very short 
oblique ferruginous streaklets, and the dorsum by a series of short straight blackish lines; cilia tawny, 
with chocolate-brown reflections. Exp.al.15mm. Hindwings 1, the apex rounded, the costa depressed 
before it; greyish fuscous, with a ferruginous tint towards the apex 5 cilia pale greyish, ferruginous 
at the apex. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs cinereous, tarsi shaded with fuscous.

Two specimens. 
39. Tortrix desmatana, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 28.) 
Antennae brownish. Palpi white, tinged with brownish externally towards the base. Head white. Thorax 
blackish, with some ferruginous scales. Forewings creamy white, with a short basal patch and a 
broad transverse fascia slightly beyond the middle—blackish, mixed with ferruginous and shining 
steel-grey ; some small fuscous spots on the dorsum, upon the fold, and on the costa between the fascia 
and the basal patch, parallel with the outer edge of the fascia, which is angulate at the middle; a 
broken blackish band crosses the wing before the apex; the apex and termen bright ferruginous, with 
several shining steel-grey specks; cilia brownish grey. Hap. al. 12 mm. Hindwings greyish fuscous ; 
cilia paler, a shade running through them near the base. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs greyish 
fuscous, with whitish tarsal and tibial annulations. 
Type 2 (66525) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: G@uERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
40. Tortrix asaphes, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 29.) 
Antennae pale ochreous, speckled with fuscous. Palpi white, shaded with ochreous and speckled with fuscous 
externally. Head white. Thoraw whitish ochreous, tufted behind. orewings narrow, elongate, the 
costa scarcely convex, the termen very oblique; pale creamy ochreous, with a broad, transverse, greyish 
fuscous band occupying nearly two-thirds of the middle of the wing, its inner edge, somewhat clearly 
defined, approaches the base more nearly on its lower than on its upper half, its outer portion being 
somewhat broken on the costa by the pale ground-colour, leaving a semidetached costal spot before 
the apex; three small fuscous spots near the base of the costa, from the centre one of which a slight 
ferruginous brown shade crosses the pale basal patch to the dorsum ; some similar ferruginous shading 
occurs before and about the apex; cilia pale whitish ochreous, a few scattered fuscous scales along the 
margin at their base. Hap. al. 13 mm. Hindwings pale greyish, faintly mottled with fuscous. 
Abdomen greyish. Legs creamy white, the tarsal joints faintly speckled.

Hab. Mexico: GUERRERO: Omilteme, 8000 ft., VIT. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
41. Tortrix druana, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 30.) 
Antennae simple in the d; pale fawn-ochreous. Palpi projecting only slightly beyond the head; pale 
fawn-ochreous. Head and Thorax pale fawn-ochreous. Forewings pale fawn-ochreous, very faintly 
irrorated with pale fuscous scale-points, which (in a bred specimen, and under the lens) may be seen 
to indicate a narrow central fascia angulated outward above the middle; a second fascia bent outward 
from the outer third of the costa to the tornus, and a third, outwardly angulated before the apex, - 
reaching the middle of the termen; there is perhaps a faint basal patch, but this is only noticeable on 
the costa which is a good deal irrorated at the base; cilia of the same colour as the wings, a slender
