260 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
scaled instead of being slender and naked, as in that 
genus, and the suddenly arched, almost angulated costa, 
are the chief characters which appear to separate it. 
It has much the appearance of the genus Jeras, Lin., 
among the Tortricide. 
Teratopsis tunicella, n.s. (Pl. XII., fig. 28). 
Capite thorace palpis et antennis schistaceo-griseis. 
Palpis articulo tertio squamis rudibus ante apicem 
acuminatum paulo incrassato. Alis anticis schistaceo- 
griseis plaga basali externe arcuata et squamis erectis 
perspicue marginata purpurascente, lunula auriforme ad 
finem cellule atomis atris circumjacentibus, margine 
apicali punctulis atris indicato. Posticis dilute schistaceo- 
griseis subnitentibus. 
Head, thorax, and antenne slaty grey; the palpi 
slaty grey, mottled with a few dusky scales on the outer 
sides, having the second joint of even width thickly 
sealed ; the third joint half as long as the second, some- 
what thickened in the middle, with rough scales nearly 
reaching to the apex, which is acuminate. Fore wings 
slaty grey, with a conspicuous and distinct basal patch 
of bronzy purple covering the basal third of the wing, 
except on the dorsal margin, rounded at its outer edge, 
which is distinguished by a line of strongly-raised 
blackish purple scales, reaching nearly, but not quite, 
to the dorsal margin. An ear-shaped spot lies at the 
end of the disc, its narrow blackish margin interrupted 
on the side immediately opposite to the anal angle, and 
separated by a slight interspace from its reddish purple 
centre. Around it are a series of minute blackish dots, 
which seem to be continued downwards on its inner side 
to the dorsal margin and anal angle, becoming more 
conspicuous along the apical margin, and reaching 
around the apex to the costa. Hind wings rather 
shining pale slaty greyish, lighter on the costa towards 
the base, with a slender pale line along the base of the 
cilia. Hxpanse, 18 mm. 
A single specimen in good condition is in Mr. Gooch’s 
collection.
