yellow reticulated with golden red, with two red-brown (or 

 purplish brown) narrow fascise — the first from about the 

 middle of the costal fold to the middle of the dorsum, adjacent 

 to which it is considerably widened, the second from the 

 outer end of the costal fold to the tornus widened at each 

 extremity ; a reddish brown streak along the termen to the 

 apex ; the costal fold is reddish brown, transversely striated 

 with darker reddish brown ; cilia shining pale yellow, clouded 

 with brownish fuscous at the tornus. Exp. al. 25 mm. Hind

Had I not fortunately possessed a maleof Fandemis sinapina, 

 Btl., I should have regarded this as Butler's species, but it 

 differs in its much stouter palpi and in the male having a costal 

 fold ; these cliaracters Avould place imitator in the genus 

 Archips, Hb., but it very strongly resembles sinapina, Btl., 

 and quercifoUana, Fitch (an American species).

In one strongly marked variety the oblique line of spots 

 which crosses the fold coalesce to form a fascia reaching 

 three parts across the wing, all the markings being of a rich 

 red chestnut-brown, and the hind wings also are somewhat 

 darker than in the ordinary forms ; but I cannot regard this 

 as more than a local variety, since in the Corean specimens 

 the markings tend to be more pronounced and browner than 

 in European specimens.
