back. Abdomen pale dull yellow. Legs yellowish- white, anterior 

 and middle tibiae and tarsi suffused with dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wings rather broad, costa rounded especially towards base, costal 

 fold very short and quite rudimentary, hindmargin rather oblique, 

 rounded ; clear white, with sharply-defined blackish-fuscous, 

 almost black, markings ; a small triangular spot on inner margin 

 at base, extending nearly to costa ; a slender nearly straight 

 fascia from costa at one-fourth to inner margin at one-third, its 

 posterior margin with a very short tooth on submedian fold ; 

 between this fascia and base the extreme costal edge is blackish ; 

 a second narrow fascia from middle of costa, becoming bifurcate 

 in middle of wing, where its anterior edge is more or less sharply 

 excavated, the first branch running to inner margin beyond 

 middle, the second to inner margin just before anal angle ; a 

 third narrow fascia from costa at three-fourths to hindmargin 

 above anal angle, connected with the second by a slender streak 

 from middle of second to third near costa ; a narrow streak from 

 apex, connecting with third fascia below middle ; sometimes a 

 small dot on costa before apex ; cilia dull whitish-ochreous. 

 Hindwings pale dull yellowish, often deeper and more greyish- 

 tinged posteriorly ; cilia whitish-yellow, with a faint yellowish- 

 grey line. 



This handsome and conspicuous insect is very similar in type 

 to Tortrix amcenana, but the markings will be found on comparison 

 to be very different in position, and I am not sure that the 

 resemblance indicates anything more than an analogy. 



I took five specimens amongst low heathy scrub at Blackheath 

 on the Blue Mountains, at an elevation of 3,600 feet, in February.
