TORTRIX, 293 
53. Tortrix cremnobates, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 2.) 
Antennae brownish cinereous. Jalpi projecting more than the length of the head beyond it; cinereous. 
Head brownish cinereous. Zhoraw brownish cinereous. Forewings brownish cinereous, suffused with 
ashy grey, with a few slender transverse brownish lines ; a small patch of pale ochreous projecting scales 
on the middle of the costa, followed by a dark brownish fuscous patch extending along the excavate 
portion of the margin nearly to the apex ; a small transverse streak-like spot, also dark brownish fuscous, 
lies at the end of the cell ; cilia ashy grey at their base, pale ochreous beyond. Axp.al. 26mm. LHind-

Type 2 (66566) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. GUATEMALA: TOTONICAPAM: Totonicapam, 8500-10,500 ft., VIII. 1880 (G4. C. 
Champion). Unique. 
54. Tortrix orycta, sp. n. 
Antennae, Palpi, Head, and Thoraw mouse-grey. Jorewings with costa d:eply sinuate beyond the middle, 
termen sinuate below the apex ; mouse-grey, with some darker (more brownish), sinuate, transverse lines ; 
@ basal patch, an outwardly oblique central fascia (arising from before the costal depression), and a 
triangular patch (in the depression) being chiefly indicated by their brown marginal lines, one of which (in 
the case of the latter marking), is produced downward to the tornus, throwing indistinct branchlets inward 
toward the lower half of the preceding fascia; the apex and termen are also somewhat streaked with 
brownish ; cilia mouse-grey ; underside much reticulated, especially along the costa and termen. Exp. al. 
17mm. Hindwings pale cinereous, reticulate with brownish grey shade-spots ; underside much reticu- 
lated, especially along the costa and termen. Abdomen mouse-grey. Legs pale cinereous. 
Type Q (65976) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. [P7. (65978) US. Nat. Mus.] 
Hab. Mexico: vera cruz: Jalapa (I. Trujillo). ‘Three specimens. 
55. Tortrix ecclisis, sp. n. 
Antennae dull fawn, Palpi fawn. Head and Thorax fawn—in some specimens fawn-grey. Forewings fawn, 
or fawn-grey, with waved transverse lines of fawn-brown, enclosing spaces a shade darker than the 
ground-colour—these consist of an ill-defined basal patch ; an oblique central fascia, much widened and 
angulate outward on the cell, and a lunate costal patch before the apex—this patch lies in a depression 
on the costa which is preceded by a strong tuft of costal cilia, giving the insect the appearance of 
Oxygrapha effractana, from which it is readily distinguished by vein 7 in the forewings ending below 
the apex; at the end of the cell (at the outer angle of the median fascia) is a small fuscous spot, 
sending out a curved fawn-brown line to the dorsum before the tornus (thus enclosing a portion of 
the pale space beyond the lower half of the fascia), a similar line running parallel with it from the lower 
edge of the lunate costal patch, from the outer end of which a short line joins it, forming the letter Y 
—the darker lines are accompanied by slender whitish lines throughout, and a slight grey gloss is visible 
on the paler portions of the wing; cilia greyish. xp. al. 19 mm. Hindwings whitish grey; cilia 
paler. Abdomen greyish. Legs dirty whitish. . 
Type 2 (66568, Cerro Zunil); 3 (66567) Mus, Wism. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. [PT. (66569) US. Nat. Mus.] 
Hab. GUATEMALA: QUEZALTENANGO: Cerro Zunil, 4000 ft., VIII-IX. 1880 (G@. ¢. 
Champion); Costa Rica: Rio Sucio (H. fogers); PANAMA: CHIRIQUI: Volcan de 
Chiriqui, 2000-3000 ft., 1881-2 (G. UC. Champion). ‘Three specimens. 
The description is taken from the ¢ from Cerro Zunil, the other specimens not 
being in sufficiently good condition to exhibit any clear markings.
