228 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
length of the head beyond it, brownish ochreous, some- 
what paler on their inner sides, the apical joint touched 
with fuscous; antenne pale fuscous; thorax brownish 
fuscous. Fore wings scarcely emarginate below the 
apex, very pale whitish ochreous, with a distinct brownish 
fuscous basal patch covering rather less than a fourth of 
the dorsal margin, gradually widening towards the costa, 
but not reaching it; a conspicuous brownish fuscous 
fascia beyond the middle, more clearly defined on its 
inner than on its outer edge, and with a slight projection 
on its inner side within the lower half of the cell; it is 
slightly wider on the dorsal than on the costal margin, 
and is indistinctly diffused outwardly below the middle 
in the direction of the anal angle; a diffused brownish 
fuscous costal patch les between the fascia and the 
apex, and at the apical margin is a series of small 
dentate spots of the same colour, followed by a slender 
pale line along the extreme margin. Cilia brownish 
fuscous, with a slight pale line along their middle; a 
slight ochreous shade hes immediately below the base of 
the costa, running parallel to it along the upper edge of 
the basal patch. The costa itself is brownish fuscous at 
the base, with spots of the same colour unequally distri- 
buted throughout its length, being smaller and more 
frequent before the middle than beyond it. On the pale 
portions of the wing between the dark markings are 
some rather indistinct brownish fuscous dots and 
streaklets, of which three arising on the dorsal margin 
before the middle are the most conspicuous. Hind 
wings very pale cinereous, spotted irregularly with 
dilute greyish fuscous, giving them a reticulated 
appearance. Cilia the same colour as the hind wings, 
with a greyish fuscous line along the middle. Lixpanse, 
16—18 mm. 
Three specimens, of which one only is in good con- 
dition, taken at ight in October at Spring Vale. I have 
also a specimen from Zululand.
