TORTlUt ID.K. I.OZOT EXIA. ^1 



little behind the middle, occasionally interrupted, between i\\\i and tlio a[)ex 

 is an ovate dark blotch on the costa : the surface is sometimes faintly reti- 

 culated : posterior wings dark fuscous, with the cilia fulvcscent. 

 Slightly variable in colour, and greatly so in size. Caterpillar feeds on the 

 nut, birch, oak, &c.: the imago appears in June. 



Found more frequently than the last, but fur from a common 

 species ; it occurs in Darcnth and Birch woods, and also near Hert- 

 ford : it is the largest of the legitimate Tortricidie.

Anterior wings retuse, testaceous-brown, faintly reticulated with brown, 

 with a somewhat waved conspicuous darker fascia at the base, a second 

 oblique one, dentate within, arising in the middle of the costa, and termi-. 

 nating near the anal angle, where it becomes rather widened ; between this 

 and the hinder margin is an ovate brownish spot on the costa; posterior 

 wings brown. 



Variable. — In some examples the wings are much darker, or of a dull red, 

 with the markings very indistinct : others are much paler or testaceous, 

 with indistinct minute darker transverse lines on the hinder margin, and the 

 fascia very obscure : others again have the fascia remarkably distinct and 

 clear, with the groimd colour of the wings pale testaceous : they also vary 

 much in size. 



Caterpillar feeds on the hazel, nut, oak, &c. 



Extremely abundant in woods and shrubby places within the me- 

 tropolitan district in June and the beginning of July ; frequent also 

 in other parts of the country. " Newcastle." — G. Wa'des, Esq.

Sp. 4. cinnamomeana. Ali's anticis cinnamomeis, hasi,fasciti media ohliqua ma-

Tor. cinnamomeana. Trcitschke Schmet.von Eur. v. viii. 61. 



Anterior wings cinnamon-colour, with a fascia at the base, darker and faintly 

 edged with pale cinnamon, a broad oblique entire dark band reaching from 

 the middle of the costa to the anal angle, also edged with pale cinnamon ; 

 and a small spot of similar hue on the costa towards the apex : posterior 

 wings brownish : head, palpi, and antennte whitish. 



I possess a single example of this conspicuous insect, which I 

 captured in Coombc wood in June 1832.
