Farnham in Surrey, are recorded as its localities. It sometimes 

 comes to sugar. 



Genus X. (ENECTRA, GUENEE. 



Head covered above with hairy scales, which are somewhat directed 

 over the face. Eyes small. Antenna? with the basal joint long and 

 thickened, clothed with scales above, and pubescent beneath. Palpi 

 thrice as long as the head, somewhat drooping, thickly clothed with 

 short scales ; basal joint stout, ascending, truncate ; apical joint 

 long, slender, drooping, twice as long as the basal ; middle arcuated, 

 thickest in the centre, more than twice as long as the apical. Maxilla? 

 slender, not so long as the palpi. Thorax ovate, not tufted behind. 

 Anterior wings : length equals twice the width. Costa arcuated, 

 obtusely so at the base ; apical margin subtruncate, straight ; dorsal 

 margin slightly rounded. The apical vein gives out five nervures, of 

 which the first is furcate. Abdomen slender ; a small tuft at the 

 apex in the c? . 



The subject of this genus is by M. Guenee removed from 

 Tortrix, notwithstanding its general great resemblance. It is 

 still retained there by Herrich Schseffer. Like Dichelia, it has 

 but five apical nervures in the anterior wings, and the great 

 length of the palpi is very characteristic. 



1. Pilleriana, Schiff. Alis anticis stramineis aut ochraceis ; macula 

 basin marginis .dorsalis versus, fasciis duabus undulatis margine- 

 que apicali brunneis ; posticis fusco-griseis. <5 Exp. al. 8 lin. 



Head and face drab. Eyes black. Palpi above and at sides drab, 

 irrorated with pale fuscous straw-colour between and beneath. 

 Antenna? dull drab. Thorax drab. Patagia drab, with the bases 

 somewhat ferruginous. Anterior wings shining, pale ochreous, with 

 the apex slightly darker, and the markings more or less fuscous. 

 Near the base on the dorsal margin is a small patch ; this is some- 

 times wanting. At one-third from the base of the costa commences 

 a fascia, nearly straight in its anterior edge, slightly dilating, and 

 un-angulated posteriorly ; the subapical patch is here placed just be- 

 yond the middle of the costa, and is produced in an irregular and 

 interrupted manner to the anal angle ; the apex reticulated. Apical 

 scales and cilia straw-colour, the latter paler. Posterior wings pale 

 grey, clothed with coarse fuscous scales. Marginal scales and cilia pale 

 straw-colour. Abdomen grey, the caudal tuft straw- colour. Exp. 

 al. 8A- lin. Anterior wings ochreous ; in certain lights ivith a brassy 

 iridescence ; the markings somewhat as in the rf , but darker and 

 more clearly defined. Near the base, on the dorsal margin, is a 

 fuscous patch, followed by a very curved fascia, originating before 

 the middle, is widest at its termination ; its anterior edge concave,
