98 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA. 



yellow or white in the middle; posterior wings ample, ovate-triangular: 

 legs short and slender. 



The chief peculiarity of the insects which I have here associated 

 together consists of the appearance of a cleft on the hinder margin of 

 the anterior wings, near the costa : it appears to arise from a defi- 

 ciency of the scales at that part : many other of the Tortricidae 

 possess a rounded spot at the apex of the costa, but in those the 

 hinder margin of the wings does not appear to be cleft or varied in 

 outhne, at least so conspicuously as in these insects : they also agree 

 in having the pale blotch or rudiments thereof, on the inner margin, 

 ■which adorns the species of the two former genera, but the outline of 

 the wings at once removes them therefrom, as well as the dissimilarity 

 in the palpi. 



A. Anterior wings rather narrow, varied, marked with silver streaks or spots, 

 and an indistinct dorsal blotch : — Eudemis, p. H'vbner. 



Sp. 1. obscurana. Alis ant ids obscure fuscis nebulis saturaiiorilms, inaculaque 

 geminata obsoletd medio margine tenuioris posticis fuscis. (Exp. Alar. 6 lin.) 



N. G. obscurana. Steph. Catal. ii. 175. No. 6916. 



Anterior wings obscure brown, with darker clouds, towards the apex of the 

 costa are a few rather indistinct whitish abbreviated lines, placed irregu- 

 larly, and on the middle of the inner margin is a faint whitish spot, com- 

 posed of two parallel lines, the extreme hinder margin with a slender black 

 line : cilia fuscous, with black tips : posterior wings fuscous, cilia paler. 



Very rare ; found in the summer within the metropolitan district, 

 but I forget the exact locality. 



Sp. 2. fraternana. Alis anticis longiusculis griseis, Jasciis duabus subrectis 

 cinereo-argenteis obsoletis, posticis cinereis fimbria fusca. (Exp. Alar. 5^ — 

 6 lin.) 



To. fraternana. Haworih. — N. G. fraternana. Steph. Catal. ii. 175. No. 6917. 



Anterior wings rather long and linear, griseous, with a straight silvery-ash 

 bar before the middle, an oblique angulated one behind, and some spots or 

 lines of similar hue on the costa ; the angulated fasciae terminating in a 

 faint palish blotch: towards the anal angle is a minute brown dot, and two 

 or three darker ones towards the hinder margin : posterior wings ashy, with 

 a brown border. 



Also a rare species, found in the spring at Coorabe wood, and I 

 believe also in Norfolk.
