90 TORTRICINA. 



tions become simple, and are produced obliquely to a point in the 

 margin below the apex. Apical scales drab, the cilia paler, both 

 inclining to ferruginous towards the apex. Posterior wings and 

 marginal scales pale fuscous, the bases of the latter drab. Cilia 

 grey, palest at and towards the apex. Abdomen glossy grey ; the 

 apex drab. Exp. al. 10-10^ lin. Anterior wings darker than in 

 the c? , arising from a streaky irroration of iron-grey scales, and the 

 costa is streaked throughout. 



In the Museum Catalogue this species is merged into C. Ho- 

 henwarthiana, although formerly considered distinct; and we 

 think, after a careful investigation of a series of both species, it 

 should be restored : hence its insertion here. It differs from 

 C. Hohenwarthiana in being a larger, paler, and plainer insect in 

 both sexes, and is tolerably constant. 



The imago appears in August, and occurs in the same 

 localities as the preceding, particularly at Headley Lane near 

 Mickleham, but less commonly. 



3. Hohenwarthiana, Schiff. Alls anticis cinereis, basi medioque 

 fusco-rufis, macula dorsali angulari cinereis, ultima lineolis atris ; 

 eosta pone medium strigis fuscis albidisque obliquis ; posticis 

 griseis ; apice fuscescentibus. c? Exp. al. 8-J 9 lin. 



Head drab, sometimes approaching pale ferruginous, palest on the 

 vertex. Face paler. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the head ; 

 above cream-colour ; at the sides and between greyish or drab ; be- 

 neath drab. Antenna? fuscous. Thorax and patagia pale ochreous 

 drab, sometimes approaching pale ferruginous. Anterior wings glossy 

 ochreous drab, with pale fuscous clouds, and slightly lustrous drab 

 streaks on the costa beyond the middle. At the middle of the dorsal 

 margin is a pale oblique blotch, streaked or irrorated with iron-grey, 

 preceded towards the base by a darkish cloud, which softens as it 

 recedes. At the anal angle is a distinct ocelloid patch, which is 

 large, oval, and bounded by a dull leaden-lustred border, broadest 

 anteriorly ; the enclosed space drab, and bearing three interrupted 

 longitudinal black lines. Before the middle the costa is pale drab, 

 and scarcely maculated ; beyond are five lustrous drab, produced 

 geminations, with dark fuscous interspaces ; the geminations become 

 simple, and are then directed to a point in the margin below the 

 apex. Apical scales drab, mixed with black, and inclining to ferru- 

 ginous towards the apex. Cilia paler. Posterior wings and margi- 

 nal scales grey, the latter with drab bases. Cilia drab, with a 

 leaden gloss. Abdomen glossy grey ; the apex drab. $ Exp. al. 

 7-9 lin. Anterior wings darker, but marked like the <$ , and the 

 costa is streaked throughout. 



A very common insect, varying in size and colour. It is
