TORTRICINA. 65 



Note. Besides the foregoing ten species there is another 

 (L. Piceana), of which a single specimen, a $ , is said to have 

 occurred in this country at the New Forest many years ago : it 

 was originally in the possession of Mr. Stone, from whom it 

 passed into the collection of Mr. Bently, and ultimately to that 

 of Mr. Edwin Shepherd, where it now is at present unique ; but 

 as its claims to rank as an indigenous species must be received 

 with doubt, it is merely mentioned here provisionally, lest here- 

 after it be admitted to our list. Upon the Continent it is a 

 well-known species, and inhabits the Pine-forests of Germany, 

 Sweden, &c., and in size and appearance much resembles 

 L. fulvana. 



Genus II. DITULA, STEPHENS. 



Antenna3 in the $ subserrate and plumose, very hirsute in the 5 

 Palpi as long as the head ; basal joint moderately stout, curved, 

 slightly narrowing and truncate ; apical stout, short, nearly globose, 

 half the length of the basal, and very densely clothed with short 

 scales ; middle joint three times as long as the apical, nearly 

 straight, ascending, cylindrical, and scarcely stouter than the basal. 

 Maxillae longer than the palpi. Thorax stout, subglobose, with a 

 tuft behind. Anterior wings : length exceeding twice the width. 

 Costa regularly arcuated in both sexes ; in the tf with a broad 

 rounded fold at the base, which extends nearly to the middle. Apex 

 obtuse. Apical and dorsal margins slightly rounded. The costal 

 vein does not reach beyond the fold. The discoidal cell is situated 

 in the upper half of the wing, and extends beyond the middle. 

 There are Jive apical nervures, the first being furcate midivay beyond 

 its origin. Posterior wings : apex obtuse ; apical margin concave, 

 dorsal margin rounded. Abdomen moderately stout in both sexes ; 

 tufted at the apex in the rf . 



At present there is but one British species in this genus, 

 which is separable from the Lozot&nice by the subserrate and 

 plumose antenna, and the shorter rounded and appressed fold at 

 the base of the anterior wings, and by the crested thorax. The 

 middle joint of the palpi is only twice the length of the apical, 

 whilst in Lozotcenia it is three limes. In repose the wings are 

 more deflexed. The habits of the larva are very similar. 



1. angustiorana, Haw. Alis anticis fuliginoso-testaceis ; macula 

 basi fasciisque obliquis saturatioribus ; posticis fuliginosis. < Exp. 

 al. 6-7J lin. 



Head and face dull ustulated brown. Eyes black. Palpi as long- 

 as the head, dull ustulated brown, slightly paler beneath. Antennae
