228 TORTRICINA. 



The British species are six in number, and their sequence is 

 thus tabulated : 



A. Anterior wings with the streaks or geminations on 



the costa faintly indicated Species 1-3 



B. Anterior wings with bright yellow spots, strealcs or 

 geminations on the costa Species 4-6 



1 . saturnana, Guen. <3 saturnana, Guen. ; $ = senectana, Guen. 

 Alis anticis nitidis, saturate olivaceo-bninneis, squamis ochraceis 

 irroratis ; ad costam septem strigis geminatis ; margine apicali 

 pnnctis atris ; posticis fusco-griseis. $ Exp. al. 6^7 lin. 



Head and face dusky drab, approaching to brown. Eyes black. 

 Palpi longer than the head, ochreous at the base, dusky brown at the 

 apex. Antenna? fuscous. Thorax and patagia dusky olive-brown. 

 Anterior wings glossy, dusky olive -brown, with a general irroration 

 of ochreous scales. On the costa are faint indications of geminations, 

 seven in number. At the apical margin is a row of minute black 

 dots. Apical scales umber. Cilia very glossy, dusky brown, with 

 drab bases. Posterior wings fuscous, with a greenish-grey iridescence. 

 Marginal scales umber, with drab bases. Cilia glossy, fuscous grey. 

 Abdomen fuscous. $ Exp. al. 7 7J- lin. Anterior wings darker than 

 those of the <5 , and slightly more acuminate ; the gemmations on the 

 costa more produced and distinct. Posterior wings also darker. 



This is an uncommon species, and was first introduced into 

 the British lists by Mr. H. Doubleday. It is very closely allied to 

 D. simpliciana, plumbagana, and Tanaceti; but distinguished from 

 all by its longer, narrower anterior wings, and the straighter 

 costa; and until now has been associated with them in that genus, 

 but we think its present position more fitting. The non-folded 

 costa, at all events, separates it from the true Dicrorampha. 



The imago appears in July and August, in grassy places in the 

 south of England. It has occurred at Musselburgh and Aber- 

 deen, in Scotland ; also at Brislington in Somersetshire. 



2. Ulicana, Guen. Alis anticis brunneis obscuris, squamis ochraceis 

 irroratis sparsis ; strigis costalibus in lineis curvis casruleis pro- 

 ductis ; margine apicali punctis atris ; posticis maris fuscis mar- 

 gine saturatioribus ; fcem. brunneis obscuris. tf Exp. al. 5-5i lin. 

 Head and face smoky brown. Eyes black. Palpi smoky black at 



the apex, ochreous at the base and between. Antenna? shining, oli- 

 vaceous brown. Thorax and patagia smoky olivaceous brown, the 

 latter paler. Anterior wings umbreous, sparingly irrorated with 

 ochreous scales, and slightly lustrous pale markings are disposed over 

 the surface. On the costa are five silvery, scarcely-geminated streaks
