TORTRICID.E. ACT.ERIS. l(jl 



of fuscous or black elevated scales, and the dark fascia on the disc are also 

 adorned with the same : posterior wings ashy-brown. 

 Excessively variable ; the base of the anterior wings is sometimes brownish, 

 at others reddish, or ochraceous, or deep brown, rarely glossy black, with 

 a tint of umber ; the usual markings are, however, apparent, and in the black 

 variety there are three distinct, elevated, darker curved fasciae; cilia dull 

 red : posterior wings brownish, or dusky-black. 



Extremely abundant in hedges, woods, and gardens, within the 

 metropolitan district ; found also in oilier parts of the country.

Anterior wings ochreous, with a more or less intensely black tuft of elevated 

 scales, towards the base, adjoining the inner margin, and on the costa 

 behind the middle, extending nearly to the apex, a large dusky black spot, 

 irregularly bilobed towards the disc, and reaching i'ainter considerably 

 down the hinder margin to the anal angle, where it vanishes : posterior 

 pale brown. 



The central spot is less intense in colour in some specimens than others, and 

 the base of the anterior wings is sometimes paler. 



Rather scarce ; found in the metropolitan woods in August, and 

 also in the New Forest, &c.

 Anterior wings hoary-white, with very minute scattered black dots, and a 



faint ashy patch on the middle of the costa ; posterior whitish-ash. 



The only specimens I have seen of this insect were captured in 

 September 1823 at Greenhithe ; they are now in Mr. Bentley's col- 

 lection.
