Steganoptycha flavocellana. n. s. — Fore wings copperish-brown. The costa is 

 striated from the middle to the tip with dark brown, the geminations faint and 

 dull ochreous, those near the tip forming a dull ochreous spot. One of the cos- 

 tal strise, which is dark-brown or luteous-brown, is extended very obliquely 

 from the apical third of the wing to the hinder margin and curves behind the 

 ocelloid spot. The ocelloid spot is pale ochreous, with a dull silvery spot along 

 its inner margin and a small one on its upper, outer margin, with a black, cen- 

 tral dash, and one on its costal edge. Hind wings dark fuscous.

Other specimens from Virginia, in Col. Ent. Soc. Philad., and one 



in my own, are not more than half the size of the imago described. 



Their general hue is paler than the specimen I have chosen for the 



typical one. 



TORTRIX, Treit. 



Tortrix lutosana, n. s. — Fore wings ochreous, or pale-ochreous. The basal 

 patch is scarcely indicated, but the wing at the base is more or less speckled 

 with dark brownish. The central fascia is well indicated and is dark-brown 

 from the costa to the middle of the wing, and thence to the dorsal margin red- 

 dish-brown. Between the central fascia and the tip of the wing, is a dark 

 brown costal spot. The terminal portion of the wing is of the general hue. 

 Hind wings pale-fuscous. 



In the dark specimens the general color of the wing is whitish, particularly 

 towards the terminal margin and the basal patch is indicated and more or less 

 defined by dark brownish lines. 



Col. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia. — Virginia, and Author's Collection. 



Tortrix incertana, n. s. — Fore wings cinnamon-brown ; along the hinder mar- 

 gin pale ochreous. The basal patch is not indicated. The central fascia is 

 broad, reddish-brown and on the dorsal margin interior to the central fascia, 

 is a small, semi-oval dark ochreous spot, and the dorsal margin thence to the 

 base is discolored with dark-brownish. The subapical patch on the costa is 

 dark brown and beneath it. in the ochreous portion of the wing is a testaceous- 

 brown spot. Hind wings dark fuscous.

These species are of small size, and were it not for the fact that the 

 costal fold is absent, they might with propriety be included in Lozo- 

 fsenia. 



The following species, I acknowledge frankly, I am unable to locate. 

 It belongs to the family or group, Tortriciifse, but I cannot satisfy my- 

 self that it is a member of any genus in thij? group. The only work T 

 have that treats of the Tortricina, is Mr. Wilkinson's British Tortrices, 

 and his generic diagnoses are so peculiarly written, his tables of genera 

 founded upon a fanciful comparison of the length of the middle joint 

 of the labial palpi with the apical joint, that the location of a specimen 

 is very troublesome and diifieult. At some subsequent day, I will review 

 what I have done in this group, as soon us T can obtain types of European
