48 TORTRICINA. 



ginal scales paler fuscous, with pale bases, especially at the apex. 

 Cilia pale grey at the anal angle, merging into dirty white or very 

 pale grey at the apex. Abdomen fuscous grey, darkest towards the 

 apex ; the caudal tuft concolorous. Exp. al. 8^11 lin. Anterior 

 wings coloured and marked as in the tf , except that the fasciae are 

 somewhat darker, and the transverse irregular lines appear more as 

 reticulations; but the pale lines at the edges of the chief markings are 

 less distinct, and are frequently wanting. Posterior wings with the 

 cilia darker. 



This species much resembles L. Ribeana, but does not vary, 

 except as to size, and may readily be distinguished by the larger 

 palpi, by its darker and redder colour, and by the sharper an- 

 gulation of the anterior edge of the central fascia. 



The imago appears from end of June to middle of July, but 

 not so commonly as L. Ribeana, and is generally distributed. 



The pupa is 5^-6 lines in length, of dark brown colour, most 

 intense upon the dorsal region, particularly on the thorax. This 

 state endures about fourteen days. 



The larva is full-fed about the middle of June, and varies from 

 10 to 12 lines in length, is of a bright green colour, the dorsal 

 region darker, and with elevated shining spots. The head is 

 green, semitransparent, and immaculate. The shield of same 

 colour, sometimes immaculate, and at others with two or four 

 small spots towards the base. The anal segment dotted with 

 black punctures. 



7. Ribeana, Hub. Alis anticis testaceo-flavis (aliquando reticu- 

 latis) fascia basi, altera media obliqua, maculaque costali postica, 

 saturatioribus, brunneo marginatis ; posticis fuscis. <3 Exp. al. 

 7-9 lin. 



Head and face dull testaceous yellow, or inclining to brown. Eyes 

 dull, intense purplish brown. Palpi : above, at sides, and between, 

 same colour as the head, paler beneath. AntennaB dull brown 

 above and beneath. Thorax and patagia fuscous. Anterior wings 

 dull pale brown, inclining to yellow, more or less streaked, reti- 

 culated, and marked with fuscous. At the base is a patch, with its 

 posterior edge nearly straight ; at the centre of the costa is a broad 

 oblique fascia, which contracts on both edges shortly after its origin, 

 then dilates, and proceeds to the dorsal margin, but again gradually 

 and slightly contracting towards its termination ; that part of its 

 posterior edge near the dorsal margin frequently indistinct. A 

 semilunate patch is upon the costa near the apex ; the pale portions 

 of the wing are marked with fine wavy transverse lines towards 

 the base, and reticulated towards the apex. The edges of the prin- 

 cipal markings are deepest in colour, and frequently bounded out- 

 wardly with a paler line. Apical scales shining, fuscous. Cilia
