TORTRICINA. 153 



Genus VII. CRCESIA, HUBNER. 



Palpi longer than the head, slender, appressed, porrected horizon- 

 tally ; basal joint elongate, drooping, pyriform, truncate ; apical ovate, 

 minute, not so long as the basal ; middle ascending, curved, slightly 

 thickened towards the apex, more than five times as long as the 

 apical. Maxilla3 as long as the palpi. Thorax stout, ovate. Anterior 

 wings : length equals twice the width ; costa arcuated, somewhat 

 abruptly so towards the base ; apex obtuse ; apical and dorsal 

 margins nearly straight ; anal angle produced. The discoidal cell is 

 situated towards the middle of the wing, and extends scarcely two- 

 thirds of its length. The costal vein reaches to the middle of the costa ; 

 the subcostal nervures equidistant. Posterior wings ample; apex 

 obtuse ; apical margin concave. Abdomen tufted in the rf ; stoutest 

 and obtuse in the $ . 



The species comprised in this genus differ structurally from 

 the preceding by the obtusely-produced anal angle of the an- 

 terior wings (except in C. Holmiana), and by the greater length 

 of the middle joint of the palpi. The insects in Section B., and 

 part of Section A., of the following table, are ornamented with 

 streaks and clouds of a metallic lustre. The species 1 and 2 are 

 well associated, both in the form of the imago, and in the habits 

 of the larvae ; but it may, hereafter, be found requisite to find 

 some other location for species 3. 



The three species included in this genus are thus tabulated : 



A. Ground-colour of the anterior wings yellow, reticu- 



lated with red brown or fulvous. 



a. With metallic lustred markings Species 1 



b. Without metallic lustred markings Species 2 



B. Ground-colour of the anterior wings ferruginous or 



brownish red, with leaden clouds, and a white tri- 

 angulate mark at the centre of the costa . . . Species 3 



1. Bergmanniana, Linn. Alis anticis laete flavis, nubilis strigis 

 fulvis lineisque argenteis impositis ; posticis fusco-griseis. tf Exp. 

 al. 6 lin. 



Head and face lemon-yellow, the latter sometimes orange below. 

 Eyes black. Palpi above lemon-colour, sometimes pale orange ; at 

 sides rich orange ; pale lemon beneath. Antenna : above drab, with 

 the basal and a few succeeding joints lemon-colour, beneath fuscous. 

 Thorax lemon-colour ; the crest behind rich orange. Patagia lemon- 

 colour. Anterior wings lemon -colour, reticulated, and suffused with 

 rich orange and ochreous brown, with pale violet lustrous markings. 

 The costal and apical margins more or less ferruginous brown ; the 

 reticulations are towards the apex of the wing, and follow the vena-
