TORTRICID.E. — COCHYLIS. 185 



Anterior wings ashy-white, rugged, with irregular fuscous clouds, forming an 

 abbreviated streak on the costa towards the base, a fascia in the middle, 

 interrupted by an oblique ovate white spot near the costa, a lunate spot 

 towards the hinder margin, beyond which is an oblique incurved fascia ter- 

 minating in the middle of the hinder margin ; besides these are some whitish 

 markings, and a bright flesh-coloured fascia behind the middle of the wings, 

 which fades almost entirely upon the death of the animal, and completely in 

 old cabinet specimens : posterior wings ashy. 



Found in hedges about the middle of June, but not common : I 

 have taken it at Darenth wood and in Copenhagen fields : it also 

 occurs at Coombe wood. 



Genus CCCXII. — Cochylis, Treitschke. 



Palpi short, slightly ascending, subclavate, densely clothed with rather long 

 scales, especially at the apex above, and nearly concealing the terminal 

 joint, which is very short and slender : maxillw very short. Antenna mo- 

 derate, rather slender, finely pubescent within in the males, simple in the 

 females : head rounded, densely clothed with long scales above : e^es small, 

 globose : thorax moderate, not crested : jvings entire ; anterior elongate- 

 triangular, with the costa straight, the hinder margin is generally obliquely 

 truncate, the disc reddish or griseous, with an oblique central fascia ; pos- 

 terior wings ample, ovate-triangular, with the apex slightly angulateil : 

 cilia rather long: body short, slender, with a distinct tuft at the apex, 

 rather stouter in the females. 



The pretty insects belonging to this genus are generally of fine 

 tints of red, flesh-colour, or griseous, with a very oblique, generally 

 abbreviated, darker fascia on the anterior wings, which last are 

 obliquely truncate on the hinder margin ; the species are usually of 

 small size, and appear towards the end of spring and in the summer, 

 and are apparently in some instances double-brooded : they appear to 

 be very local.

To. roseana. Haworth.—S. G. roseana. Steph. Catal. ii. 191. No. 7136. 



Anterior wings bright rosy-red, palest at the base within, with an oblique 

 linear red-brown fascia rather before the middle, darkest on the inner 

 margin, and vanishing towards the costa, near the apex of which are some 

 dusky spots; cilia rosy, with the apex brownish: posterior brown, cilia 

 paler.
