TORTRICINA. 9 



FAMILY IX. LOZOPERIDJE. 



The costa always regularly arcuated. The ground-colour of 

 the anterior wings mostly yellow or straw-coloured. The basal 

 patch frequently wanting, or but little developed. The central 

 fascia sometimes entire, but mostly abbreviated, or expressed on 

 and towards the dorsal margin ; ALWAYS running in a direction 

 more or less parallel with the apical margin. Sometimes the 

 central fascia is represented by two similarly directed streaks, 

 which are sometimes abbreviated, at others entire. Ocelloid 

 patch never present. 



By a careful perusal of the above, it will be seen that the 

 ocelloid patch offers the best character for generalization ; thus, 



In four of the families it is wholly wanting, viz. in the Pero- 

 neidce, the Cnephasida , the Sericorida, and the Lozoperida. 



It is almost wholly wanting in the Tortricida. 



It is more or less present in the Plicata, the Anchy lop er idee, and 

 in the Stiff mono tides. 



It is well defined in the Carpocapsida. 



There are, however, other simple characters by which some of 

 the families may be distinguished ; viz. the 



Plicata by the costal fold in the c? . 



Anchyloperida by the produced apex of the anterior wings. 

 Peroneidce by the tufts of elevated scales on the anterior wings. 

 Lozoperida by the ground-colour of the anterior wings being of 



a yellow colour, and by the direction of the central fascia 



being parallel with the apical margin. 



The group contains 298 species, which are located in the 

 several families as follows : 

 Family 1. TORTRICID^E contains 12 genera, comprising 37 species.
