276 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
patch at the apex extending through the apical cilia, 
and much mottled with shining dark purple scales. The 
cilia on the middle of the apical margin are white. 
Hind wings pale cinereous, somewhat shining, with 
scarcely paler cilia. First and second pairs of tibie 
white, with strong thick tufts doubly barred on the 
upper side with brown; the feet spotted with fuscous. 
Third pair of tibie densely hairy, together with the feet 
outwardly spotted with brownish. Expanse, 19 mm. 
One specimen in Mr. Gooch’s collection, with no record 
of its capture.

Lecithocera maculata, n.s. (Pl. XI., fig. 18). 
Capite levi, fusco. Palpis externe fusco suffusis in- 
terne albido-ochraceis. Antennis crassiusculis ochreo- 
flavidis. Alis anticis fuscis subnitide purpurascentibus 
macula discali minore macula in finem cellule majore et 
macula subobsoleta costal in terno apicali ochraceis. 
Posticis et abdomine fuscis quam anticis paulo diluti- 
oribus. 
Head smooth, fuscous. Palpi whitish ochreous on 
their inner sides, touched with fuscous externally. An- 
tenne very thick yellowish ochreous. Fore wings 
fuscous, slightly shining, and with a purplish tinge; a 
small faint ochreous discal spot on the outer edge of the 
basal third ; a larger roundish faint ochreous spot at the 
end of the cell, and another less conspicuous spot of the 
same colour (sometimes scarcely visible) on the costal 
margin above and beyond it, from which an outwardly 
angulated line of very famt ochreous scales crosses 
the wing to the dorsal margin. The hind wings and 
abdomen fuscous, slightly paler than the fore wings. 
Expanse, 13 mm. 
Two specimens taken at Spring Vale, ‘in bush and at 
light, December and March. 
This differs from other species of the genus with which 
I am acquainted in the presence of pale ochreous spots 
on the fore wings.
