92 TORTRICINA. 



produced into oblique streaks, directed to a point in the apical margin 

 below the apex. Apical scales drab, thickly speckled and black. 

 Cilia drab. Posterior wings with a subdued gloss, fuscous, and a 

 greyish tinge, palest at the base. Marginal scales fuscous, the bases 

 drab. Cilia drab, with a fuscous tinge. Abdomen fuscous ; the 

 apex yellowish drab. $ Exp. al. 8i-10i lin. 



Not very commonly distributed ; varies in size and colour, and 

 is abundantly distinct from any of the preceding. In dimen- 

 sions it approaches nearest to C. Scopoliana, but is darker, and 

 more speckly in its markings. The nearly total absence of lon- 

 gitudinal markings in the ocelloid patch is the best character by 

 which to distinguish it from its allies. 



The imago appears in July and August among mixed herbage, 

 mostly upon the chalk. It occurs rather commonly at Headley 

 Lane, Mickleham ; also in Sussex. 



6. expallidana, Haw. Alis anticis ad costam rufo-fulvis ; margine 

 dorsali pallide ochraceis ; macula ocellari subargentea lineolis 

 atris ; posticis fusco-griseis. tf Exp. al. 7-| 8-^ lin. 



Head slightly ochreous on the vertex and behind ; pale yellow in 

 front. Face whitish. Eyes black. Palpi as long as the head, drab, 

 at the sides inclining to grey. Antennae pale fuscous. Thorax and 

 patagia pale ochreous, sometimes primrose colour. Anterior wings 

 dull ; pale ferruginous brown on the costal, and pale ochreous yellow 

 or primrose on the dorsal half. The costa is ochreous towards the 

 apex, and is marked with geminations before and beyond the middle ; 

 those towards the apex being produced and slightly lustrous ; the 

 line of demarcation between the dark- and light-coloured portions 

 proceeds straight to near the middle, then arches slightly, but 

 broadly, finally encountering the ocelloid patch, which is of moderate 

 size, of primrose colour, and with a pale brassy lustred border, and 

 two longitudinal black lines within. A few small dusky marks are 

 sometimes visible on the extreme dorsal margin. Apical scales pale 

 ochreous, mixed with dusky scales. Cilia pale ochreous or primrose, 

 paler at the anal angle. Posterior wings grey, with a violet tinge 

 at the base, merging into pale fuscous at the margins. Marginal 

 scales dusky ochreous, with pale bases. Cilia drab. Abdomen 

 fuscous ; the apex pale ochreous. 



Not a common species, tolerably constant in size and colours, 

 considerably smaller than C. Scopoliana, and distinguished from 

 the rest of the genus by the pale dorsal portion of the anterior 

 wings. 



The imago appears in July flying at sunset on grassy banks, 

 and among clover. It occurs near London, also in Gloucester- 

 shire and Worcestershire. This species conies to light.
