50 TORTRICINA. 



dish cinnamon-coloured, with a broad, obliquely margined, pale ferru- 

 ginous patch at the base, followed by a similar coloured fascia, broad 

 and slightly dilated on its posterior edge, shortly after its origin at 

 the costa ; before the apex, on the costa, is a semilunate mark, most 

 denned towards the base of the wing ; the apical region reticulated ; 

 the edges of the basal patch, the central fascia, and the inner edge 

 of the lunate mark are bounded by a pale line. Apical scales rich 

 pale ferruginous. Cilia concolorous, merging into greyish at the 

 anal angle. Posterior wings pale fuscous, with a greyish tinge at 

 base, and a ferruginous hue towards the apex. Marginal scales 

 fuscous at the anal angle, gradually assuming a ferruginous hue at 

 the apex. Cilia shining pale grey. Abdomen pale fuscous, with a 

 ferruginous tinge ; the caudal tuft pale fuscous. Exp.al. 10-12 lin. 

 Head and face pale ferruginous. Palpi pale ferruginous at the sides 

 and above, whitish beneath from base to near the apex. Anterior 

 wings marked as in the tf , but warmer tinted, and the reticula- 

 tion stronger. Posterior wings with the apex broadly and distinctly 

 yellow. 



This species is very closely allied to L. Ribeana and L. hepa- 

 rana, but is readily distinguished from either by the narrowness 

 and rich cinnamon-colour of the anterior wings, and the more 

 uniform width of the central fascia. 



The imago appears in June and July, among Beeches at 

 Mickleham, Coombe Wood, Weybridge, Black Park, in Wor- 

 cestershire, &c. ; but until the last few years was only of occa- 

 sional occurrence : it is now in most collections. 



The pupa is 4|- lines long, glossy chestnut-brown. 



The larva is green, darker above than beneath. Head yellow ; 

 shield with a black mark round the hinder margin ; and has 

 been bred from Larch and Maple by Mr. Thomas Boyd.

Head pale reddish yellow behind, straw-colour in front. Face 

 straw-colour. Eyes intense purplish brown, with a velvety appear- 

 ance. Palpi twice the length of head ; above, beneath, and be- 

 tween, straw-colour; at sides pale ferruginous, sometimes dusky. 

 Antenna3 straw-colour above, brown and pubescent beneath ; basal 

 joint densely clothed above and beneath with straw-coloured scales. 

 Thorax pale reddish yellow. Patagia of slightly deeper colour than 

 the thorax. Anterior wings pale yellow, inclining to orange, streaked 

 and reticulated with rich ferruginous brown ; near the base is an 

 oblique streak from the costa to the dorsal margin, the space enclosed 

 being more or less marked with irregular lines, which do not attain
