This species apjjears to vary considerably in size and in 

 the extension of the markings, as also in the amount of 

 shading and of yellowish colouring in the hind wings, but it 

 never possesses a tuft of darkened scales on the costa before 

 the apex of the hind wings in the female ; thus it is allied to 

 podanus, Sc, rather than to decrefanus, Tr. 



686 (I). Archips asiaticus, sp. n. 



Antenme smoky greyish. Palpi short, closely appressed 

 to the face ; greyish ferruginous. Llead and thorax smoky 

 greyish. Fore wings, ^ with the costal fold somewhat wider 

 and more strongly developed than in the European podanus, 

 Sc. ; tawny reddish, with a triangular streak from the base of 

 the dorsum pointing obliquely outwards and terminating in a 

 ])atcli of blackish scales on the upper edge of the fold, the 

 base of the triangle being developed into a projecting tuft on 

 the flexus ; a large costal patch of a darker shade than the 

 ground-colour, and having a somewhat purplish hue, spreads 

 downward to the fold, covering almost the entire middle third 

 of the wing, its inner edge narrowly pale-margined at the 

 apex (which is somewhat more strongly falcate than in 

 podanus), the costa being much depressed before it; a streak 

 of blackish scales runs downward along the upper third of the 

 termen, and within it is a second group of similar scales 

 blending with a tawny shade which is continued along the 

 lower half of the termen to the tornus ; cilia tawny reddish, 

 tipped at the apex with black, paler at the tornus. Under- 

 side brownish ferruginous on the costal fold, with a greyish 

 shade along the dorsum, the apical third of the wing bright 

 orange-ochreous, without reticulations. ? with the costa 

 deeply impressed on the outer half, the termen strongly 

 sinuate beneath the produced apex; tawny, with a strong
