230 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
margine abdominali incrassato.” Char. natur.—‘‘ Ale 
anteriores late, in femina acutiores quam in mare, 
pictura sericoridis; posteriores, anguste, acuminate 
margine postico maris ante angulum analem late et 
rectangulariter exciso, margine interiore incrassato 
rigido.”” ‘‘Distinguitur alis posterioribus et in mare et 
in femina multo angustioribus magisque in apicem pro- 
ductis, atque in mare juxta angulum analem late 
excisis.” 
Exartema, Clemens (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1860, 
p- 356). 
“Fore wings with the costa regularly arched; tip 
obtuse and rounded; hind margin rounded, very slightly 
oblique, dise with secondary cell. Hind wings rather 
broader than the fore wings, obtusely angulated on the 
hind margin opposite the median nervules ; inner margin 
deeply and sharply excised, with a cylindrical appendage 
along the inner margin from the base, the lower portion 
of which is free.” 
The close resemblance of the specimen now before me 
to the North American species of Hxartema, both in form 
and in ornamentation, is remarkable, and it would be 
interesting to ascertain for certain if the hind wings of 
the male exhibit any resemblance to the pecular structure 
which distinguishes that genus; in which case only 
could Herr Lederer be held to be justified in interpreting 
the original description of Hecopsis as applicable to 
venustana, Hiib., which would probably justify also the 
substitution by priority of that genus for Hzartema, 
Clemens.*

* Since writing the above I have received, through the kind 
assistance of Mr. W. F. Kirby, a slight sketch of the hind wing of 
the original male specimen of Eeccopsis wahl- 
bergiana, described by Zeller, for which I am 
indebted to Mr. C. Aurivillius, Assistant in 
the Entomological Department of the State 
Museum at Stockholm. Although the wing 
is somewhat narrower and more tapering towards the apex than 
those of the American species of Hxartema, this sketch tends 
strongly to confirm the view that the genera Hccopsis, Zeller, 
and Hwartema, Clemens, are identical.
