X. North American Tortricidce. By Lord Walsingham,

Plate IV. 

 In the course of the last two years I have received from 

 a "well-known collector, Mr. H. K. Morrison, several boxes 

 of J'ortricidcB, Tineidce, and Pteroplwridce from North 

 America. The Tortricidce, of which I propose to give a 

 complete list, so far as they can be properly identified, 

 include specimens from Arizona, Mexico, Florida, North 

 Carolina, Wisconsin, and Montana. These several col- 

 lections are interesting, not only on account of the rather 

 numerous undescribed species represented in them, but 

 more especially as illustrating the subject of geographical 

 distribution. 



In the following list I propose to adopt the provisional 

 arrangement and classification followed in Prof.Fernald's 

 Catalogue, published in the * Transactions ' of the 

 American Entomological Society, Philadelphia, in 1882 ; 

 but I trust that the time is not far distant when the 

 results of those more mature studies which he has fore- 

 shadowed may be made known. The collection from 

 Arizona contains a large proportion of species which 

 range northward to California, some even to Oregon, 

 and which exhibit no important degrees of variation 

 within these limits. The fe"v^ Mexican specimens belong, 

 with one exception, to undescribed species. 



From Florida we get two species, originally figured 

 by Hiibner under the names Eucosma circulana and 

 Pharmacis sartana ; the reappearance of the latter is 

 interesting as dispelling the illusion that it was equiva- 

 lent to Eobinson's Conchylis himacidana. 



North Carolina yields many species described by 

 Clemens and Eobinson ; but, with very few exceptions, 

 these, as well as those from Wisconsin and Montana, are 

 found to be exclusively representatives of the fauna ol 

 the Eastern States, although not a few of them have
