TORTRICINA. 219 



grey, with a reddish tinge, the caudal tuft reddish luteous. Exp. 

 al. 10-11 lin. Somewhat brighter in colour than the tf . 



Equally common with the preceding, but it does not appear 

 to be known on the Continent. It resembles R. Buoliana, but is 

 rather larger, and more deeply coloured; the markings also are 

 more distinct, and the costa more rounded. 



The imago appears in July and August among Fir-trees ; more 

 frequently in young plantations. It occurs round London, and 

 in the south of England ; in Norfolk ; also near Manchester, and 

 in Yorkshire. 



The larva resembles that of R. Buoliana, and feeds in the same 

 manner ; but we have not met with it. 



3. Pinivorana, Zell. Alis anticis cinereis, subargenteis strigis maeu- 

 lisque numerous fusco-ochraceis ; posticis fuscis. <$ Exp. al. 

 7-9 lin. 



Head olive-drab on the vertex, inclining to dull fermgineous above 

 the eyes. Face darker than the head. Eyes black. Palpi as long 

 as the head, dusky drab above and at the sides, paler beneath and 

 between. AntennaB dusky ochreous brown. Thorax pale olive - 

 brown, a few iron-grey and drab scales behind. Patagia : at the base 

 dusky ochreous brown, the tips broadly drab aud iron-grey. An- 

 terior wings dusky ochreous brown, with dirty white streaks, some- 

 times mottled and irrorated with dark grey scales. Near the base is 

 a direct whitish streak, followed by several others irregular and wavy, 

 before the middle ; beyond the middle, are two streaks more or less 

 regular in their course, passing from the costa to the anal angle; these 

 are succeeded by another at the apex. Apical scales dusky ochreous, 

 mottled with white and brown. Cilia dusky drab. Posterior wings 

 and marginal scales pale fuscous, with paler bases. Cilia shining, 

 pale drab. Abdomen and caudal tuft pale fuscous grey. $ Exp. 

 al. 9-10 lin. The ground-colour of the anterior wings darker, and 

 the streaks whiter and more numerous than in the tf ; the irroration 

 more decided, and sometimes thickly freckled with blackish scales in 

 patches along the folds. 



A rather uncommon species, and very variable in the markings 

 on the anterior wings, and also in size. Is like R. Resinella in 

 general appearance ; but the markings of this latter species are 

 umbreous, not dusky ochreous. 



The imago appears in June and July among Fir-trees. It 

 occurs in Kensington Gardens, near Croydon, Birch Wood, near 

 Ripley, and other places round London ; near Dover, in Glou- 

 cestershire, Lancashire, &c. ; also in Scotland and at Holywood, 

 County Down, in Ireland.
