TORTRICINA. 189 



7. oppressana, Treits. Alls anticis albidis, cinereo nebulosis ; basi 

 macula rhombea, fascia media interrapta fusco strigata, apice 

 puncto fusco ; posticis fuscis. tf Exp. al. 7 lin. 



Head fuscous in front, drab behind. Face drab. Eyes black. 

 Palpi as long as the head, drab. Antennae drab, with a fuscous tinge. 

 Thorax drab, streaked with pale umber. Patagia drab, with the base 

 umbreous. Anterior wings dull drab, with umbreous and fuscous 

 markings ; at the base is a streaky patch of fuscous colour (sometimes 

 umbreous), extending one-fifth along the costa, and one-third along 

 the dorsal margin ; its posterior edge is darkest, and forms an obtuse 

 retreating angle beyond the middle. At the centre of the costa com- 

 mences an irregular, oblique fascia ; this proceeds two -thirds across 

 the wing, where it is interrupted, and appears again within the anal 

 angle ; in colour it is deep fuscous, speckled with umber. In the 

 apical region is an oval, fuscous spot, streaked longitudinally with 

 dark umber ; the pale portions of the wing are clouded and streaked 

 with fuscous. The costa is geminated, the interspaces pale umbreous ; 

 a distinct spot at the apex. Apical scales umbreous, the tips drab. 

 Cilia fuscous, interrupted by two white streaks running through 

 them below the apex. Posterior wings pale fuscous, rather darker 

 at the apex. Marginal scales fuscous, with yellowish bases. Cilia 

 long and paler. Legs drab. Abdomen pale fuscous. $ Exp.

Unique in the cabinet of Mr. Henry Doubleday, who has a 

 pair, taken, years ago, in Epping Forest. 



In general appearance this species is most nearly allied to Pcec. 

 signatana, but readily distinguished from it by the absence of the 

 longitudinal, wavy, umbreous line in the apical region of the an- 

 terior wings of the latter species. It likewise bears some resem- 

 blance to Spilonota dealbana and its congeners, but it has not 

 the solid basal patch characteristic of those species. 



Genus II. ANISOTJENIA, STEPHENS. 



Antenna? two -thirds the length of the anterior wings. Palpi 

 stout, longer than the head, ascending, remote, densely clothed 

 with long scales towards the apex ; basal joint stout, drooping, 

 pyriform, truncate. Apical slender, obovate, as long as the basal ; 

 middle not so stout at the base as the basal, slightly thickening to- 

 wards the apex, curved, ascending, not quite three times as long as the 

 apical. Maxilla3 as long as the palpi. Thorax slender in the tf , stout 

 in the $> ; ovate, tufted behind. Anterior wings : length more than 

 twice the width. Costa arcuated, apex obtuse ; apical margin slightly 

 concave ; dorsal margin nearly straight ; venation normal. Posterior
