206 TORTRICINA. 



lustrous streak. Near the anal angle, on the dorsal margin, is a pale 

 mark, and in the region of the ocelloid patch are a few lustrous blue 

 scales. Apical scales dark umber, in some lights scarcely discernible 

 from the wing. Cilia mottled brown, paler. Posterior wings grey at 

 the base, softening into fuscous at the margins, darkest at the apex. 

 Marginal scales fuscous brown, with pale bases. Cilia iron-grey, 

 with pale-grey bases. Abdomen purplish brown. 



Not uncommon ; slightly smaller than E. compusitella, but in 

 appearance resembling E. Weir ana. 



The imago appears in June, and occurs at Darenth Wood, and 

 other places within the Metropolitan district ; also at the New 

 Forest. 



2. Weirana, Douglas. Alis anticis fusco-nigris ; ante medium fascia 

 angulata obscura subplumbea, punctis tribus costalibus gemi-

Head and face dull smoky-brown, the latter merging into white 

 below. Eyes black. Palpi as long as the head, whitish. Antennaa 

 fuscous. Thorax and patagia dull brown, with a slight ferruginous 

 tinge. Anterior wings dull smoky-brown, with a faint indication of 

 an angulated fascia before the middle. On the costa, before the

 more distinct. Apical scales umbreous, with paler bases. Cilia paler. 

 Posterior wings fuscous, with an umbreous tinge. Marginal scales 

 and cilia of the same colour, but paler, and the bases of the former 

 paler still. Abdomen umbreous, the caudal tuft pale. $ Exp. al . 5 lin. 

 Anterior wings of richer colour than in the < ; the cilia of the pos- 

 terior wings whitish. 



An uncommon species ; allied to E. nitidana, but is larger, of 

 paler colour, and not so glossy. First recorded by Mr. J. W. 

 Douglas, who captured it in June, flying in the sunshine at 

 Mickleham, among Beeches. It has since been taken by Mr. F. 

 Bond at Horndean, Hants.
