TORTRICIDE. ARGYROTOZA. l^S 



Anterior wings of a deep brownish or reddish chestnut, and very glossy, 

 irregularly and very prettily marbled with whitish or white, sometimes with 

 a few blackish irrorations, or entirely immaculate ; in general the white 

 clouds are disposed in two oblique fasciae : posterior wings whitish, or very 

 pale brownish. 



Extremely variable both in colour and in the disposition of the whitish markings 

 on the anterior wings ; some specimens being almost entirely of a deep im- 

 maculate chestnut, others red-chestnut, and occasionally almost white, with 

 a few chestnut spots and dots. 



Extremely abundant in the New Forest, during the autumn, and 

 found also in Sussex, near Ashdown Forest, during the winter: 

 rare near London. " Lord Rosebery's Park, Dalmcny."" — Rev.

Genus CCCVI. — Augyrotoza* mihi. 



Palpi very short, divaricating and depending, clavatc, densely clothed with 

 elongate scales, which terminate abruptly, and leave the terminal joint, 

 which is small, exposed : maxillce short. Antennw short and very slender, 

 simple in both sexes, but very faintly pubescent in the males : head small, 

 with a dense tuft between the antennae : eyes moderate, globose : thorax 

 stout in proportion, not crested : wings without elevated scales, anterior 

 elongate-triangular, truncate at the apex, the disc yellow, fulvous, or 

 reddish, with more or less distinct streaks, composed of minute silvery dots: 

 posterior wings ample, rounded at the apex : body short and slender, with 

 a small tuft at the apex in the males, rather stouter in the females, and 

 obtuse. 



The species which I have included in this genus may be readily 

 known by their anterior wings being more or less adorned with 

 curved silvery lines upon an orange or yellowish ground, united at 

 the same time to their shortness, truncate hinder margin and straight 

 costa : all the species are very small.
