236 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidae, 
The remarkable fact with which we are at present 
concerned is that a species, differing in no essential 
particular from the South American representatives of 
the genus, has been found by Mr. Gooch in South 
Africa; and this is the more remarkable since it is 
known to be associated there with Hustizis flavivittella, 
Eccopsis wahlbergiana, Zell., and Compsoctena primella, 
Zell., as well as with several species of Cryptolechia, 
whose representatives in the New World are also so 
nearly allied to them in structure and appearance. 
I have received, through the kindness of Mr. H. Doer, 
of Rio Janeiro, amongst other interesting Lepidoptera, 
two specimens, which he considered to be male and 
female of the same species, the female being evidently a 
species of Tiquadra, the male(?) presenting the same 
peculiarities as the next species, figured and described 
in this paper under the name Ischnopsis angustella. To 
such a remarkable degree does it approach it that, on 
finding the same two forms in Mr. Gooch’s African 
collection taken in the same locality and within a few 
days of each other, I was induced to make some further 
enquiries into the sufficiency of the evidence from which 
the suspicion of their relationship to each other had 
arisen. Mr. Doer is unable to assure me on this 
point; and as both sexes of Tiquadra have been 
noticed, both by Prof. Zeller and Mr. Walker, I have 
been compelled to regard the supposition as erroneous, 
although I have placed them provisionally in juxta- 
position in systematic order. It is at least a very 
curious double additional instance of similarity between 
South African and South American Lepidoptera. Prof. 
Zeller states that the larva of a species of this genus is 
a case-bearer.
