North American TortricidcB. 127 



brightly- coloured palpi, in the more orange hue of the 

 fore wings, and in their reticulated appearance visible to 

 the naked eye. I am still of opinion that Walker's 

 directana is a pale variety of C. testulana, ZelL, but, as 

 the locality from which the typical specimen was obtained 

 is unknown, it may yet be proved to belong at least to a 

 distinct local race. 



There is a peculiarity about the neuration of the 

 species above described which is especially worthy of 

 notice when comparing it with various species of the 

 allied genus Cenopis. In the male sex vein 4 of the fore 

 wings arises about equidistant from veins 3 and 5 ; 

 whereas in the female it branches from a common stem 

 with vein 3. The female of Cenopis testulana has these 

 veins situated as in the male of (Enectra distincta ; 

 whereas in both sexes of C. demissana, Wlsm., vein 4 of 

 the fore wings is decidedly nearer to 5 than to 3.

Platynota stidtana, n. s. 

 Head with very long palpi and antennae, half the length of the 

 fore wings, cinereous. Fore wings dull chestnut-brown towards the 

 base, paler beyond the middle. A large ill-defined blackish fascous 

 patch extends somewhat obliquely outwards from before the middle 

 of the costa, its lower extremity reaching to the fold ; beyond this 

 patch is a small triangular costal mark of the same colour. A 

 narrow chestnut-brown shade profusely speckled with blackish 

 fuscous scales extends along the apical margin before the brownish 

 ochreous cilia. Hind wings cinereous. Exp. al. 12 mm. 



This species is easily distinguished from others of the 

 same genus hitherto described by its smaller size and
