TORTRICID.E. A\CHVLOPER A.l ]09 



blotch on the middle of the inner margin of the anterior wings approaches 

 to a snowy white : again, the oblique costal streaks are occasionally absent, 

 or very strong and elongated: the black ones on the anal speculum are 

 frequently very apparent. 



An abundant insect in hedges near woods, within the metropolitan 

 district, especially near Darenth in June. 



Sp. 12. subuncana. Alls unficis suhcaudatis rufis, semifascia recta basi satura- 

 tiore marginis tenuioris a/bo postice marginato. (Exp. Alar. 6 — G§lin.) 



To. subuncana. Haworlh. — An. subuncana. Steph. Catal. ii. 177. No. 6951. 



Anterior wings slightly caudate, pale red, with a fascia of a deeper hue on the 

 base of the inner margin, shading off towards the costa, and bordered on 

 its straight posterior edge with a white line ; costa prettily streaked with 

 oblique white lines, the apex slightly recurved, with a brownish-red dot; 

 the anal angle of the hinder margin has a faint ashy patch : cilia reddish- 

 brown : posterior wings rather dark fuscous. 



Not uncommon in June in the woods within the metropolitan dis- 

 trict, especially in those of Kent. 



Genus CCLXXXVI. — Anchylopera* mihi. 



Palpi longer than the head, porrected nearly horizontally ; clothed with elon- 

 gate scales, which leave the terminal joint visible, the latter small conic, 

 elongate and slender when denuded: maxUlae short. Antennoe simple, 

 densely scaly : head small, with a tuft between the antennae : eyes rather 

 large, globose : thorax slender, not crested : wings entire ; anterior elongate, 

 falcate, and the costa in some species slightly waved ; marked in general 

 with an undulated longitudinal streak ; posterior faintly eniarginate on the 

 hinder margin : abdomen slender, tufted at the apex in the males, slightly 

 acute in the females : legs rather short and stout. 



Although the insects of this pretty genus, which nearly cor- 

 responds with Ancylis of Hiibner, may in general be recog- 

 nised by having the anterior wings more or less falcate, there are 

 other genera of this family which possess that character ; but from 

 these the present insects may be at once known by the generality of 

 them having the wings adorned with pale longitudinal waved or 

 curved lines, sometimes intersecting the wing with two discolorous 

 surfaces, at others a broken longitudinal series of streaks only exists.
