126 TORTRICINA. 



The pupa is chestnut-brown and shining, about three lines 

 long, and enclosed in a dull white silken web, in consistence 

 and appearance resembling the webs spun by spiders under and 

 among leaves, as a nidus for their eggs. 



The larva, when full-grown, measures from 5 to 6 lines in 

 length, and is of a pale olive-green colour ; the head shining, 

 black, and hairy ; the shield black, shining, divided by a dorsal 

 line ; the second and third segments each with a row of four 

 oval, greyish spots placed in a transverse line, with two smaller 

 ones on each side. The anal segment has two transverse rows of 

 spots, followed by an oval patch of minute greenish dots, slightly 

 darker than the ground-colour. It feeds on Ulmus campestris, 

 spinning the terminal leaves together. It does not touch the 

 broad-leaved Elm (Ulmus montana) : vide Edwin Lankester, in 

 the " Entomologist," p. 143. These larvae assume a yellow ap- 

 pearance before going into pupa.

Head ochreous behind, dusky in front. Pace ochreous. Eyes 

 black. Palpi shorter than the head, grey at the sides, the tips and 

 beneath drab. Antennae iron-grey, alternated with drab. Thorax 

 dark fuscous, streaked transversely with dusky ochreous. Patagia 

 dusky at the base, the apex ochreous. Anterior wings pinkish ochre, 

 with intense brown and ferruginous streaked markings ; the base is 

 occupied by a streaked rhomboid patch, darkest at its posterior edge, 

 followed by one (sometimes two) interrupted angulated streak, ex- 

 tending from the costal to the dorsal margin ; in the middle of the 

 costa commences a broad undulating fascia, terminating near the 

 anal angle, suffused on its inner, but sharply defined on its outer 

 edge ; the colouring of this fascia is of a rich brown, inclining at 

 places to dark violet. The costa beyond this fascia to the apex, is 

 closely and very obliquely streaked with rich brown markings, the 

 second of which, counting from the central fascia, is continued to 

 the middle of the apical margin, where it is further produced, along 

 the margin itself, to near the anal angle : an eye-like mark at the 

 apex. The ocelloid patch at the anal angle is very distinct, and in 

 the middle are from five to seven well-defined longitudinal black 

 streaks, with iron-grey irrorations between them. Apical scales black, 

 with very narrow ochreous tips and bases. Cilia black at the apex, 

 then brown, merging into pinkish-drab at the anal angle and iron- 

 grey beyond it ; bases pale. Posterior wings dull, dark fuscous, 

 deepest towards the apex. Marginal scales dark fuscous with straw-
