THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 7 
orange spot placed at the anal angle of the hind wings. A smaller 
species, V. Sulpitia (about two inches in expanse), is brown, with 
a common greenish white band divided on the fore wings, beyond 
which, on the hind wings, is a more or less distinct tawny stripe. 
The upper side resembles that of Pyrrhogyra, but the under side 
is more like that of some species of Adelpha, being transversely 
banded with dull white, black and tawny. V. Hpaphus is a 
larger insect (three inches in expanse), brown, with a white 
stripe running from the middle of the costa of the fore wings to 
the root of the tail. The outer portion of the fore wings is 
tawny. V. Tvrayja closely resembles this, but the outer part of 
the fore wings is brown. The Mexican and Central American 
V. Superba may be known by the white band being bluish on the 
edges ; the fore wings beyond it are brown, with a slight tawny 
shade, and their hind margin is more emarginate than in any 
other species of the genus. 
[The next paper will be devoted to Hypolimnas and other Old 
World genera. I regret that in consequence of my transfer from 
the Dublin Museum to the British Museum I was obliged to 
discontinue my papers in the ‘ Entomologist’ for atime. I hope 
now to be able to continue them at intervals, though perhaps not 
quite regularly at present.—W. F’. K.]

Ptycholoma Lecheana, Linn.—Common everywhere among 
oaks (Quercus robur) and elms (Ulmus campestris), in the rolled-up 
leaves of which the larva feeds; the imago flies very freely and 
boldly towards dusk, when it is often rather a pest than otherwise. 
Ditula Hartmanniana, Linn.—A local species, butnot uncommon — 
where it occurs. The imago is to be found at rest on the trunks 
of willow trees, but it is not easy to box, as it runs quickly up the 
stem, keeping in the crevices of the bark, and when clear of the 
box flies to the topmost branches. In Kent it has occurred at 
Lewisham, New Cross, and near Gravesend; while the Surrey 
localities are Surbiton, Weybridge, and near Hammersmith. It
