to the hinder margin, and branches off obliquely near the base to the 



middle of the costa : posterior wings brownish. 

 Variable in tint, some specimens being of a very bright grassy green, others 



very dingy ; some much spotted and clouded, others less so ; some with 



white freckles. 



Rare : taken at Darenth wood in August and September ; also in 

 the New Forest, and in Devonshire, and in other parts of the west 

 of England.

Le. fulvomixtana. Steph. Catal. ii. 188. No. 7098. 



Anterior wings rough, of a light green, the disc with darker clouds, irregularly 

 mixed with fulvous and black ones ; in general there is a conspicuous black 

 spot at the base of the inner margin, and another on the costa towards the 

 apex, with smaller ones on the disc, more or less distinctly mixed up with 

 fulvous clouds or spots : posterior wings brownish. 



Some examples are destitute of the black clouds, and are only adorned with 

 pale fulvescent spots on a green ground. 

 Apparently not uncommon, in the New Forest, in August and 



September, whence I have received numerous fine specimens : it has 



likewise occurred at Darenth and Birch woods. 



Genus CCCII. — Tekas, Treitschke. 



Palpi rather long, parallel, densely clothed with short scales below and long 

 ones above, reaching to the base of the terminal joint, which is exposed, 

 elongate-conic : maxillce rather short. Anteniice slender, rather stoutest in 

 the males and pubescent within: head with a smooth bundle of scales 

 between the antennae : eyes small : thorax subovate, faintly crested behind : 

 7^'«w^j-.5 slightly deflexed; anterior falcate, long, the costa deeply excised a 

 little beyond the middle, the base rounded ; posterior acute at the anterior 

 angle : cilia moderate : body moderate, rather stout and depressed in both 

 sexes, with a small tuft at the apex. 



I applied the name Glyphisia to this genus, in my Catalogue, in 

 allusion to the deep excavations on the costa of the anterior wings, a 

 character which at once distinguishes it from all the other Tortricidae; 

 but as the genus is synonymous with the first section of Teras of 

 Treitschke (Rhacodia of liiibner), I have adopted his name, 

 although his genus, in the main, is nearly the same with Peronca. 

 Treitschke and other continental writers conceive there arc only two
