60 TORTRICINA. 



7. fulvana, Schiff. ? Alls anticis marts ochraceis ; basi macula mar- 

 gine dorsali elongata obliqua, fascia media lata irregulari apice- 

 que brunneis saturatis ; foemince testaceo-flavis, brunneo reticu- 

 latis ; strigis tribus undulatis saturatioribus ; posticis basi cine- 

 reis, apice auranteis subreticulatis. J Exp. al. 8-11 lin. 



Head smoky purplish brown on vertex, ochreous over the eyes. 

 Face smoky purplish brown. Eyes black, slightly shining. Palpi 

 long as the head, dull brown. Antennae dull brown, paler beneath. 

 Thorax and patagia dull, reddish brown in front, somewhat paler 

 behind ; the crest dark brown. Anterior wings of a dull, smoky- 

 pink colour, with the apical region ochreous ; at the middle of the 

 costa commences a deep brown oblique fascia, well-defined and 

 nearly straight on its anterior edge, narrow at its origin, dilating 

 posteriorly into a broad suffused patch, and narrowing again before 

 attaining the dorsal margin ; the subapical costal lunate spot is in 

 this species much wider, not sharply defined, but suffusing with, and 

 of the same colour as, or slightly paler than, the central fascia ; the 

 basal portion of the wing towards the costa is clouded with pinkish 

 brown ; and near the base of the dorsal margin is a reniform deep 

 brown spot of a velvety appearance, edged with yellow scales, as is 

 also the anterior edge of the central fascia ; on the apical margin is 

 a black, somewhat wedge-shaped streak, preceded by another streak, 

 brow r n and irregular in shape, falling into the apical margin towards 

 the anal angle ; the apical portion of the wing reticulated. Apical 

 scales and cilia variable, dull, in different specimens ranging from 

 deep dusky brown to dull ochreous, sometimes ochreous tipped with 

 brown, both becoming ochreous at, and dusky brown beyond, the 

 anal angle. Posterior wings dull fuscous at the base, with the apex 

 broadly yellow and more or less speckled with dusky markings. 

 Marginal scales fuscous at the base, yellow at the apex, with pale bases. 

 Cilia dusky. Abdomen fuscous ; the caudal tuft fulvous. $ Exp. 

 al. 10-13 lin. Head and face dull pinkish drab. Eyes dark brown. 

 Palpi dull brown above, ferruginous at sides and beneath. Antennae 

 dark brown. Thorax and patagia dull pinkish drab, the crest of the 

 former concolorous. Anterior wings dull drab, with a rosy hue ; the 

 whole surface, particularly at the apex, reticulated with chocolate- 

 brown ; near the base is a curved line, followed by another before, 

 and a third beyond the middle of the costa, both attaining the dorsal 

 margin, the last often very irregular in its direction ; a fourth line 

 runs along the apex, nearly parallel with the apical margin, followed 

 by a curved wedge-shaped mark on the latter, of a black or dark 

 brown colour; on the dorsal margin are two fuscous clouds, one 

 near the base, and a larger one beyond the middle ; on the costa near 

 the base is a fuscous patch, filling up one of the reticulations, and 

 beyond the middle the semilunate mark is present, its inner edge 

 suffusing with the ground-colour of the wing. Apical scales and 

 cilia dull, deep brown, with paler bases, both becoming ochreous at.
