TORTRICINA. 31 



beneath and between. Antennae pale fuscous. Thorax dark brown. 

 Patagia fuscous at base and apex, darker below the shoulder. An- 

 terior wings dull, cream-colour, the dark cloud extending two-thirds 

 along the costa and three-fourths along the dorsal margin ; it con- 

 sists of an angulated basal patch and a broad central fascia, with the 

 space between somewhat paler. The basal patch is fuscous, streaked 

 with umber posteriorly, and edged with cream-colour. The central 

 fascia is rich brown, with umber markings ; its posterior edge 

 sharply defined and nearly straight ; its anterior is angulated with a 

 cream-coloured border, and constricted before attaining the dorsal 

 margin ; the space, between, is fuscous, becoming cream- colour on the 

 margins. Within the anal angle is an elongated patch with a rounded 

 apex, of the same colours as the fascia, edged with white, and above 

 it a somewhat pyriform mark, with a sharply denned edge, and 

 curving downwards, along the margin at the anal angle ; the apical 

 angle is clouded with brown. The costal and dorsal margins are macu- 

 lated throughout ; on the former, beyond the basal cloud, are three 

 distinct triangular dark brown marks, succeeded by the apical spot. 

 Apical scales umber, at the tips and bases narrowly cream-coloured. 

 Cilia mottled brown, becoming, with the marginal scales, pale cream- 

 colour at the anal angle. Posterior wings white at the base, with a 

 pearly lustre, merging into fuscous at the margins, darkest at the 

 apex ; the nervures of the wing fuscous, and more distinctly marked 

 than in A. marginana. Marginal scales fuscous, with rich cream- 

 coloured bases. Cilia straw-colour. Abdomen fuscous, the caudal tuft 

 pale drab. 5 Exp. al. 6 lin. In colour more sombre than the tf : the 

 pyriform mark at the apex is here replaced by several clouded black 

 marks, and in the pale portion of the costa there is only a single spot 

 preceding the apical one. Posterior wings fuscous ; cilia whitish. 



An uncommon species. Very closely allied to A. marginana, 

 hence the specific name, but smaller, and with the apical 

 markings larger and more distinct. It is in the cabinet of 

 Mr. J. J. Weir, who took it near Tunbridge ; and in those of 

 Messrs. Bond, Shepherd, and Waring, who took them in the 

 New Forest in June. 



11. Sauciana, Hiib. Alis anticis ochraceo-albidis, basi pone medium 

 cinereo, nigro, brunneo caeruleoque varicgatis ; apice brunneo 

 fuscoque strigato ; posticis nigro-fuliginosis. $ Exp. al. 6|-7 lin. 



Head and face ferruginous brown ; the latter darker below. Eyes 

 black. Palpi above and at sides fuscous, alternated with drab ; fuscous 

 beneath, drab between. Antenna dark brown. Thorax and patagia 

 ferruginous, banded -with black. Anterior wings dull, cream-colour ; 

 the dark portion of the wing extends two-thirds along the costa, and 

 to the anal angle on the dorsal margin ; its posterior edge recedes to 

 the middle, then proceeds in an undidating and advancing course to
