Description of TORTRIX 1,1 M XEK1 A \ A. 



BY AUG. R. GROTE. 



This is a species allied to Tortrix gurgitana, Robinson, but differing 

 at once by the shape of the costal incision. The two species belong to 

 Hiibner's genus Rhacodia. T. Lintneriana differs at once from T. 

 gurgitana by the shoulder of the primaries being more produced and 

 the incision more prolonged. It is a larger species and of a paler, 

 more yellow shade. The fore wings are similar in general color, but 

 are paler, not rusty ; the usual reticulations are distinct, but the wing 

 is entirely without the customary transverse darker shade bands. The 

 usual extra basal and median lines, which latter ordinarily limits in- 

 wardly the median band, are here distinct, similar in shape to those in 

 T. gurgitana, but of an obscure golden hue. The hind wings are pale 

 lemon-yellow with the usual large blackish shade inferiorly over the 

 internal margin and here distinct and extended. Beneath of a pale 

 lemon-yellow tint, a little darker towards the external margins where 

 are interrupted ochrey lines. The type specimen expands 28 m. m., 

 and I am indebted to Mr. J. A. Lintner for its communication. It is 

 from New York.
