TORTRIX, 9] 
the costa straight, apex somewhat acute, termen oblique, not indented; brownish olivaceous, the space 
below the fold stone-ochreous ; the brownish ground-colour is traversed by a reduplicated rosy vinous line, 
leaving the costa at about one-fourth and tending obliquely downward to the fold, where it is strongly 
argulated and reverts nearly to the costa before the apex, whence it is again sharply bent downward, 
and, after nearly reaching the termen below the middle, curves back to the dorsum before the tornus; 
this line, although reduplicated at its origin, becomes single after leaving the fold, and is margined 
throughout by narrow lines of stone-white; the effect of this line is to leave the olivaceous ground- 
colour in a narrow basal patch occupying the space above the fold, in a very wide triangular costal patch, 
with some tawny mottling and with a shining white spot near its lower extremity, in an elongate patch 
communicating with the dorsum, but not the costa, and traversed by three or four pale ochreous lines 
following the course of veins 4 to 7; the termen and cilia are tawny reddish, mottled with some paler 
and darker scales. Eayp.al.14 mm. Hindwings rosy grey; cilia stone-grey ; underside considerably 
mottled with tawny reddish on their upper half. Abdomen olive-grey.

48. Tortrix triquetra, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 54.) 
Antennae cinereous, touched with ferruginous towards the base; basal joint whitish ochreous. Palpi very 
long, projecting nearly three times the length of the head beyond it, the terminal joint nearly half the 
length of the median, clothed with appressed scales ; whitish ochreous on their inner sides, suffused and 
speckled with reddish brown externally. Head whitish ochreous. Thorax reddish brown. Forewings 
shining, whitish, with a slight ochreous tinge ; a reddish brown shade arising from the base of the costa 
extends obliquely outwards to the tornus, covering the base and dorsum and leaving a narrow band of 
the pale ground-colour between it and a large reddish brown costal triangle, which contains some tawny 
red patches about the margin and on the cell, and also a shining, whitish, round spot at the lower edge of 
the cell ; beyond this triangle the white ground-colour extends to the apex, a narrow reddish brown band 
along the termen separating it from the mottled reddish brown and tawny grey cilia, the white space 
containing a slight olivaceous shade on its outer part. Hep.al.17-5 mm. Hindwings tawny grey ; 
cilia pale cinereous ; underside somewhat mottled. Abdomen greyish brown. Legs dirty whitish.
