TORTRICINA. 237 



costa, are two geminated streaks before the middle, and five more 

 beyond ; the three nearest to the basal patch are produced, and reach 

 the dorsal margin, the rest (except the apical and subapical ones, 

 which are directed to a point below the apical spot) are intercepted 

 by the chestnut-brown mark which occupies the apical region of the 

 wing, covering one-third of the dorsal margin ; the anterior edge of 

 this mark is rounded, and passes off at the apex. The ocelloid patch 

 is large, distinct, and bounded by three unequal, curved, bright, eop- 

 pery-lustred patches ; at the anterior edge of the apical mark is an 

 intense umber- coloured, curved, and somewhat wedge-shaped streak. 

 Apical scales intense umber, sometimes irrorated with grey. Cilia 

 glossy, dark dusky brown, somewhat mottled. Posterior wings 

 golden brown, darkest at the margin. Marginal scales dark fuscous, 

 .with straw-colour bases. Cilia at the apex grey, merging, towards 

 the posterior angle, into straw-colour. Abdomen glossy, fuscous 

 brown. Exp. al. 8|-9| lin. 



A common insect in Apple orchards. Of the same size as the 

 two preceding (C. splendana and grossana), and distinguished 

 from both by the smoky appearance of the anterior wings, and the 

 copper-coloured markings of the anal angle. 



The imago appears in June and July, wherever Apple-trees 

 abound. This species occurs in Ireland. 



The pupa is about 4| lines long, of ferruginous-brown colour. 

 Head, wing, and limb cases shining ; the abdomen dull. 



The larva feeds in the fruit of the Apple and Pear ; and a 

 very lucid and interesting account of its habits is to be found in 

 the ' Letters of Rusticus/ pp. 85 and 86. When full-grown, it 

 is from 6-7 lines long, of a pinkish colour, and sluggish in its 

 movements. Head pale brown, with four irregular, darker 

 brown, longitudinal stripes ; shield luteous, shining and trans- 

 parent, with a pale dorsal division, and a small heart-shaped, 

 dusky-coloured mark on each side, placed transversely near the 

 base. The tubercles raised, shining, oval, and of the same 

 colour as the body. When young, it is of a bright pink colour. 

 In September or October they cease to feed, and spin a cocoon, 

 remaining quiescent therein till April or May, when they as- 

 sume the pupa state.
