TORTRICIDE. — SAllROTHRirUS. 147 



Sp. 5. Ilicana. Alis anficis uniformitlr fuscis, nitidis, punctin nigris sparsis 

 elevatis. (Exp. Alar. 9—11 liii.) 



Py. Ilicana. Fabric iius.—^a. llicaiius. Sfcph.CataL ii. 18*. No. 701.0. 



Anterior wings of an uniform glossy ashy-brown, with two approximating 

 blackish dots, on the disc, before the middle, a deep black solitary one 

 behind the middle, and near the hinder margin towards the anal angle, two 

 or three approximating brown ones, placed, as it were, in continuation of a 

 pale waved streak : on the extreme edge is a row of minute fuscous dots. 



Rather more frequent than either of the other species of this 

 genus ; found at Birch wood, Darenth, and Coombe, at the end of 

 July and beginning of August ; hkcwise in the New Forest. 



Sp. 6. Afzelianus. Alls ariticis tesfaceo-fuscis, hast maculdque trigond medio 

 cosie, pundisque paucis elevatis nigris. (Exp. Alar. 9 — 11 lin.) 



Ph. To. Afzeliana. Gmelin ?— Sa. Afzelianus. Steph. Catal. ii. 184. No. 7038. 



Anterior wings shining testaceous brown, with a short black fascia at the base, 

 a large triangular black patch on the middle of the costa, and some obscure 

 blackish dots on the disc. 



Taken with the preceding species, less common : it has been found 

 in March, probably the remains of the autumnal brood. 



Sp. 7. ramulanus. Alis anticis pallide testaceis, costa saturatiori, strigd longi- 

 tudinali atra ramosd a hasi pone mediuvi, punctisque elevatis nigris. (Exp. 

 Alar. 9—10 lin.) 



To. ramulanus. Hubner — Sa. ramulanus. Curtis, i. jd. 29. — Steph. Catal. 

 ii. 184. No. 7041. 



Anterior wings pale testaceous, darker at the costa ; the disc with a distinct 

 longitudhial black streak, giving off two twigs at the base, one about the 

 middle of the inner margin, and a bifid one at the apex, near which, on the 

 costal side, is attached a round black dot, and on the hinder margin are two 

 or three smaller ones, largest at the anal angle. 



Var. j8. Sa. Stonanus. Steph. Catal. ii. 184. No. 7042. — Rather larger, with 

 the black vitta on the anterior wings more ramose, the disc with a fahit 

 waved fuscous streak. 



I have seen but few examples of this pretty species, of which I took 

 one in July 1821 at Darenth ; a second (figured by Mr. Curtis) was 

 taken at Birch wood in July 1823, and two others, one of them the 

 variety, subsequently.
