514 Mr. J. H. Durrant’s descriptions of Tineina. 
Fore-wings leaden grey, ornamented with two transverse and 
four longitudinal vermilion stripes; the costa irregularly 
margined throughout with ochreous, commencing at the 
base, almost on the dorsum, and continued narrowly along 
the termen, but expanding above the tornus into an almost. 
circular blotch and ending in a large pretornal triangular 
patch—these ochreous spots are more or less suffused with 
blackish, and five or six blackish spots occur along the 
costa; before the middle of the wing the ochreous costal 
colouring blends with a transverse vermilion fascia, slightly 
angulate on the cubitus, and there is a somewhat con- 
spicuous ochreous triangular encroachment on the leaden 
ground-colour before the apex; parallel with the upper 
edge of the pretornal patch is a conspicuous vermilion 
length-streak, with another, somewhat bowed, midway 
between it and the costa; near the middle of the base is a 
short longitudinal vermilion streak, and below it a longer 
one reaches to a fasciaform stripe of the same colour, 
almost erect from the dorsum, but before reaching the 
radius gradually curving round, becoming nearly parallel 
with the costa, and ending abruptly before the base; 
cilia (injured) ochreous, apparently tipped with greyish. 
Exp. al.9 mm. Hind-wings fuscous; cilia pale at the 
base, with a dark dividing line. Abdomen fuscous. Legs 
greyish ochreous. 
Type & (6866 Drnt. Det. 1913), Oxf. Univ. Mus. 
Hab. Arrica, W.—Oni, near Lagos. The unique speci- 
men bred by W. A. Lamborn, Jan. 27, 1912, from a carni- 
vorous larva which fed upon Stcctococcus sjdstedte. 
Closely allied to Tortrix viridis, Wlsm. (Tr. Ent. Soc., 
Lond. 1891, 68-9, Pf. 3-4), but in general pattern even 
more like Hpagoge albardana, Snln. (Wlsm. Tr. Ent. Soc., 
Lond. 1891, 69-70, 131, Pf. 3:5). The type, which is 
somewhat injured, has been described at the request of 
Prof. Poulton to accompany Mr. Lamborn’s observations 
upon the life-history of the species as recorded on pp. 493-4.
