transverse fascia from the middle of the costa to the tonius is 

 bounded on its inner ed2:e by a narrow greyish ochreous line, 

 and is much mottled with reddish brown, it has also a few 

 fuscous scales at its upper end about the edge of the costal 

 fold, and others at its lower extremity adjacent to the tornus ; 

 a subapical patch of the same colour is diffused with some 

 slender streaks along the termen ; between the basal patch 

 and the central fascia the wing is much shaded with greyish 

 fuscous scales, and the outer edge of the fascia itself is scarcely 

 defined, almost blending with the general colour of the wing- 

 surface; indeed, the markings throughout are not very con- 

 spicuous ; cilia pale shining cinereous, tinged with brownish 

 towards the apex. Ex]). al. (^ 22-25, ? 23-29 mm. Ifmd 

 wings brownish fuscous; cilia shining whitish. Abdomen 

 rather robust, brownish fuscous. Legs whitish ochreous.

The female has the wings much more elongate than the 

 male, the apex produced, the termen concave below the apex 

 and bulging in the middle ; the costa is much arched as in the 

 usual forms of Archips, which the male also strongly re- 

 sembles. The neuration agrees with that of Archips in having 

 all the veins separate in the fore wings ; the neuration of the 

 hind wings is also similar; but it differs from all species with 

 which I am acquainted in its unusually long discal cell in the 

 fore wings, which reaches to four-fifths the wing-length ; the 

 discal veins are therefore very short, vein 3 from near the 

 lo"wer angle of the cell being much recurved, a difference 

 which might well be regarded of generic value. The cell in 

 the female is scarcely, if at all, longer than in the ordinary 

 forms of Archips, but vein 3 arises rather nearer to vein 4 

 than is usual.

Extremely nearly allied to, if not identical with, piceanus, 

 L. ; it is distinguished only by its larger size and brighter 

 coloration. This is probably the species recorded in Staud- 

 inger and Wocke's ' Catalog ' (235. No. 685) as piceana, L., 

 from East Siberia.
