PCECILOCHROMA STABILANA, Step. MSS. 



This supposed species, which occurred during the past sum- 

 mer, in considerable plenty, with scarcely any variation, at Whittle- 

 sea Mere, appears upon a maturer examination, to be too closely 

 allied to some of the numerous varieties of P. Brunnichana, espe- 

 cially to var. e, to be considered as a distinct species, the name must 

 therefore be expunged from our lists. The Tortrices are peculiarly 

 disposed to vary, and in no genus more so than in the present, hence 

 the supposition that the so-called stabilana was distinct from the 

 general uniformity of the specimens ; but instances do occur, where, 

 from some unknown cause, an insect varies less in one locality than 

 another.

Front pale reddish ; crown, thorax, and anterior wings deep 

 shining chestnut brown ; the latter with three silvery streaks, placed 

 obliquely, the first about the middle of the costa, the other two equi- 

 distant from each other and the tip of the w^ing ; on the costa itself 

 are a few snowy-white spots, and some blackish streaks at the lip ;
