186 TORTRICINA. 



3. Bouchardana, Doubleday. Alls anticis cinereis, apice fusco- 

 ochraceis ; basi macula brunnea, medio fascia indistincta fuscis ; 

 margine dorsali macula sub-trigona alba ; posticis fuscis margine 

 saturatioribus. rf Exp. al. 5 lin. 



Head varies from dull drab to smoky black. Face drab. Eyes 

 black. Palpi dull drab. Antennae dark brown. Thorax smoky 

 black. Patagia ochreous drab. Anterior wings variable from cine- 

 reous to dull fuscous-ochre, with dark brown streaks and markings. 

 At the base is a brown patch, with darker transverse streaks; it 

 extends one-third along the costa, and the same distance along the 

 dorsal margin, having its posterior edge straightish. At the middle 

 of the costa originates an undefined fuscous fascia, dilated and 

 widest on the dorsal margin. The apical region fuscous-ochre. At 

 the middle of the dorsal margin is an irregular, somewhat triangular, 

 white blotch. On the costa, before the middle, are two, and beyond 

 four, whitish geminations. Marginal scales black. Cilia smoky 

 black, with cinereous bases. Posterior wings fuscous, darker towards 

 the margins. Marginal scales fuscous, with drab bases. Cilia yel- 

 lowish white. Legs drab, speckled with fuscous. Abdomen um- 

 breous, the apex fuscous. $ Exp. al. 5^ lin. The colouring darker, 

 and the markings more defined. 



This species was taken by the late Richard Weaver a few 

 years back, and subsequently by Mr. Bouchard in Moray shire, 

 N. B., amongst fir-trees, and is, as yet, in but few cabinets. 



It is allied to Pcec. tenerana, but is slightly larger in size, and 

 readily distinguished from it by the white blotch upon the dorsal 

 margin of the anterior wings. 



4. tenerana, Dup. Alis anticis fusco-ochraceis ; maculis, strigisque 

 nigris, punctis argenteis sparsis ; macula dorsali pallida triangu- 

 lata ; posticis fusco-griseis. J Exp. al. 7 lin. 



Head olive drab. Face somewhat paler. Eyes black, with a vel- 

 vety appearance. Palpi as long as the head, fuscous, pale at the 

 base beneath. Antennae brown. Thorax and patagia dull ochreous, 

 immaculate. Anterior wings slightly glossy, dull ochreous; with 

 black or intense brown markings ; on the costa are eight or nine 

 geminated pale streaks with triangular umber interspaces, especially 

 on the basal half, where two of them are very strongly marked ; one 

 situated about one-fifth from the base, the other just before the middle, 

 the former is produced as an umber streak to near the centre of the 

 disk, where it forms an acute angle, and recedes to the dorsal margin 

 (softening towards the base), which it attains one-third from the 

 margin; an irregular, undefined, and interrupted streak proceeds 

 from the subcentral costal mark, ultimately reaching the dorsal mar- 

 gin. The apical region clouded with ochre towards the margin.
