TORTRICIDvE. — TEEAS. 167 



species, one having the inner margin of the anterior wings fulvous, 

 the other concolorous ; but it is evident that these characters will not 

 hold good, as both varieties occur in each of the species. I may here 

 take occasion to remark that the continental Lepidopterists appear to 

 take comparatively little cognizance of the smaller species, as in 

 Treitschke's work, which professes to describe all the European 

 Lepidoptera, there are only 185 species of Tortricidae, nearly one- 

 third of which are not yet recognised as British, and that in Britain 

 alone there are decidedly upwards of 300 species discovered ; so that 

 this country possesses more species, not described by him, than he 

 allowed to all Europe ! 



Sp. 1. emargana. Plate SS.f. 1. — Alls antlcis pallide testaceis brunneo reticu- 



latis, postice fascia latissimafusco-brunnea. (Exp. Alar. 9 — 10 lin.) 

 Py. emargana. Fabricius. — Gl. emargana. Steph. Catal. ii. 188. No. 7100. 



Anterior wings from the base to the middle and the hinder margin pale testa- 

 ceous, reticulated with brown ; with a deep brown or ustulated fascia 

 extending from a little before the middle to the hinder margin, where it 

 vanishes; the inner margin is slightly reddish: the costal notch arises 

 beyond the commencement of the fascia, and extends nearly to the apex, 

 being a little sinuated within and very deeply excavated : posterior wings 

 pale brownish, with darker nervures, and faintly reticulated with fuscous 

 towards the apex. 



As before alluded to, this is supposed on the continent to be a mere variety of 

 Te. effractana, but its form and characters will scarcely admit of such a 

 supposition being correct. 

 Taken, but rarely, within the metropolitan district in the autumn; 



found also near Dover in Bere wood, and also in the New Forest, 



Devonshire, &c. " Gibside.''— G. Wailes, Esq. " Raehills."—

Sp. 2. excavana. Alts anticis praeferrugineis lineolis transversis obsoletis fus-

To. excavana. Haworth — Gl. excavana. Steph. Catal. ii. 183. No. 7101. — 

 Ph. To. emargana. Donovan, iii. pi. 106. f. 5. 



Anterior wings deep ferruginous, with two obscure transverse fuscous streaks 

 towards the base, and a fascia of the same, very much waved, and abbre- 

 viated towards the inner margin, behind the middle, extending on the costa 

 towards the apex, which is very faintly reticulated with fuscous : costal 

 notch not very deep: posterior wings whitish-ash, or brownish. 



Also supposed to be a variety of the following species on the continent, but I 

 think improperly.
