TORTRICINA. 213 



purplish brown, inclining to umber, the latter with paler bases. 

 Cilia glossy, dark grey. Abdomen umber. $ Exp. al. 6-7 lin. 



Not uncommon in June and July among Scotch Fir-trees in 

 the north of England and in Scotland, occurring occasionally in 

 the south. It has been captured at Chat Moss, near Man- 

 chester, at West Wickham Wood, and at Mickleham. In ap- 

 pearance it resembles A. cosmophorana, but is larger and darker 

 coloured. 



2. cosmophorana, Treits. Alls anticis nitidis cinereo-bmnneis, 

 strigis duabus lineolisque argenteis ; macula ocellari ad angulum 

 analem punctis atris ; posticis fusco-cinereis. tf Exp.al. 4-i 5 lin. 



Head and face dusky olive-brown, the latter paler below. Eyes 

 black. Palpi scarcely so long as the head ; above grey, at the sides 

 and beneath fuscous. Antenna? dark fuscous, inclining to umber. 

 Thorax and patagia umbreous. Anterior wings glossy, rich golden 

 brown, inclining to umber, with a greyish tinge at the base, and 

 light silvery-lustred streaks. Before the middle is a conspicuous 

 silvery streak, most denned on the costa, convex, undulate, and 

 attaining the dorsal margin. Beyond the middle, on the costa, are 

 four other silvery marks, the first and second uniting, and after- 

 wards produced to, and joining with, the lustrous silvery anterior 

 edge of the ocelloid patch ; the third is produced in like manner, but 

 joining to the posterior edge of the said patch ; the fourth encloses 

 the apical spot, and is continued through the apical scales and cilia. 

 In the ocelloid patch are three or four irregular longitudinal jet- 

 black lines. The silvery streaks are whitish on the costa, and 

 assume a bluish tinge as they approach the dorsal margin. Apical 

 scales deep umber, becoming pale at the anal angle. Cilia glossy, 

 drab, with a slight violet tinge. Posterior wings and marginal 

 scales fuscous, the latter with the bases drab. Cilia glossy, dirty 

 white. Abdomen glossy, umbreous, the apex silvery grey. $ Exp. 

 al. 5|-6 lin. 



A rare species, and seemingly confined to Scotland, where it is 

 taken in the Black Forest, in Perthshire, flying round young 

 Pines. It very closely resembles A. conifer ana, but is con- 

 siderably smaller, and the ground-colour of the anterior wings is 

 paler, 



3. Strobilella, Linn. Alls anticis atris, squamis ochraceis irroratis 

 pone medium praecipue ; strigis flexuosis, ad costam geminatis 

 argenteis ; posticis brunneo-ustulatis ; ciliis aibis. tf Exp. al. 

 4-6 lin.
