TORTRICINA. 171 



7. maccana, Treits. Alls anticis nitidis, cinereis; maciilis irregu- 

 laribus bnmneis marmoratis ; posticis, nitidis fusco-griseis. tf Exp. 

 al. 9-10 lin. 



Head and face fuscous, inclining to griseous, sometimes ferru- 

 ginous. Eyes black. Palpi griseous above and at the sides, at the 

 apex castaneous. Antennae fuscous, pubescent beneath. Thorax 

 mottled with dark grey and umber. Patagia castaneous. Anterior 

 wings glossy, dark grey, with umbreous or rich castaneous brown 

 markings. Towards the base is a broad brown patch, which does 

 not attain the dorsal margin ; at nearly one-third from the base is a 

 very oblique fascia, distinctly bordered anteriorly, and much un- 

 dulated, diminishing in intensity as it reaches the opposite margin, 

 near the anal angle ; posteriorly this fascia is undefined, and paler. 

 Towards the apex are two or three similar- coloured curved streaks, 

 forming together a somewhat trigonate patch. Along the apical 

 margin are several short intense brown streaks, and the pale portions 

 of the wing are more or less speckled with brown. The costa is 

 speckled throughout, as is also the dorsal margin ; the latter much 

 paler. Marginal scales mottled with eastaneous and pale grey, 

 darkest at the tips. Cilia tolerably uniform castaneous, somewhat 

 paler, with grey bases. Posterior wings glossy, grey with a fuscous 

 tinge, the dark markings of the underside showing through, giving 

 the upper surface a speckled appearance. Marginal scales and cilia 

 of similar colour, Abdomen glossy, fuscous-grey, the caudal tuft pale, 

 dull ferruginous. $ Exp. al. 9-9i lin. 



A variable species ; in general appearance very like P. Has- 

 tiana in its typical form, but somewhat more glossy ; it is, how- 

 ever, less obtuse on the costa at the base. It has also a very near 

 resemblance to the full and distinctly-coloured specimens of 

 P. favillaceana. 



The imago appears in the autumn, and has been captured by 

 Mr. Bentley at Epping Forest, and by the late Richard Weaver 

 in Scotland ; it occurs also near Manchester, but rarely. 



The larva feeds on the Whortleberry (Vaccinium Vitis Idced], 

 or the Bilberry (V. Myrtillus}. 



8. Hastiana, Linn. Alis anticis saturate fuscis marmoratis; basi
