tibife grey-whitish. Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa 

 gently arched, apex obtuse, termen straight, vertical; rather dark 

 fuscous, closely and suffusedly sti'igulated with grey-whitish; 

 basal area tinged with brown-reddish, with some blackish scales; 

 a broad dark fuscous streak running in an even curve from \ of 

 costa to below middle of disc and back to costa at apex, included 

 costal space rather dark fuscous but almost covered by confluent 

 pairs of oblique purplish-leaden strigae rising from short whitish 

 costal strigula} separated with dark fuscous; a small dark fuscous 

 spot on middle of termen; ocellus narrow, edged with pale leaden- 

 grey whitish-margined stride, and crossed by three dark fuscous 

 dashes : cilia whitish-brownish, with traces of grey bars, especially 

 in middle, above apex dark fuscous. Hindwings grey, somewhat 

 darker towards apex; cilia whitish, rather elongated on doi'sum, 

 with grey subbasal line round apex and upper half of termen. 



Q.: Brisbane (Turner); in January and April, two specimens. 



408. A. discana Feld. 

 [Tortrix discana Feld., Reis. Nov. pi. cxxxvii., 41). 



(J^. 16-18 mm. Forewings blackish, anteriorly closely striated 

 Avith leaden-metallic except on a broad band margining costal 

 patch; a triangular ochreous-white costal patch extending on 

 costa from before middle to |, strigulated with dark fuscous on 

 costa; ocellus narrow, enclosed by two subtriangular patches of 

 leaden-metallic striae : cilia dark fuscous, at tornus with an 

 ochreous-white patch. Hindwings fuscous, becoming dark fuscous 

 posteriorly, in ^ with a large round patch of modified black scales 

 in disc extending almost to base; dorsal mai'gin in ^ somewhat 

 expanded, white, dorsal and tornal cilia in ^ white. 



Solomon Is.: Choiseul, Bougainville (Meek)— Moluccas : 

 Amboina (Felder); five specimens. Also from the island of 

 Hainan, China. There are several similarly coloured species, 

 from all of which the ^ is obviously separated by the secondary 

 sexual characters of hindwings; the 9 is very like A. amcebcea, 

 but may be distinguished by the less extent of costal patch, which 

 is also much whiter.
