240 TORTRICINA. 



the apex. Anterior wings glossy, pale chocolate -brown at the base, 

 ochreous at the apex, and the latter marked with pale lustrous streaks; 

 the dark or brown portion of the wing is ochreous at the base, and 

 pale towards the costa, to the middle of which it extends, and nearly 

 to the anal angle on the dorsal margin, its posterior edge being 

 rounded and undulate, and includes a darker fascia proceeding from 

 the middle of the costa, which dilates slightly before attaining the 

 dorsal margin, is edged posteriorly with a distinct, leaden, lustrous 

 streak, and anteriorly with another of the same nature, but less denned. 

 The costa, beyond the middle, is marked with four lustrous, leaden 

 streaks, edged anteriorly with dusky, and below them is another, 

 apparently produced from the second costal one, but not always con- 

 nected thereto. The ocelloid patch is distinct, and formed of lustrous 

 leaden patches ; the space enclosed is ochreous, marked with black 

 spots or longitudinal lines. Apical scales ferruginous brown at the 

 apex, becoming paler at the anal angle. Cilia ochreous to the middle, 

 then pale brown to the anal angle, where they again become ochreous, 

 and iron-grey beyond. Posterior wings shining, pale grey at the 

 base, merging into dusky, very pale fuscous, with an ochreous tinge, 

 especially at the apex. Marginal scales grey. Cilia drab. Abdomen 

 dark brown, the apex ochreous. $ Exp. al. &J- lin. The anterior 

 wings slightly richer in colour. 



Not of very frequent occurrence. Constant in colour, but 

 variable in size. In general appearance it resembles Antithesia 

 ochroleucana, only very much smaller; but the golden and metallic- 

 lustred markings at once distinguish it. 



The imago appears in May and June, and occurs at Dulwich 

 and West Wickham Woods, and other places near London ; at 

 Fox's Wood, Brislington ; in the New Forest, &c. 



The larva may be found in August, feeding on the Honey- 

 suckle, the leaves of which it folds forwards, longitudinally, the 

 whole length, or turns down the tips, and feeds on the upper 

 surface within the chamber thus formed. It is greenish grey in 

 colour, the head large, yellowish, with a black spot on each side. 

 Mandibles brown. Shield the same colour as the head, but 

 rather wider, with two black dots on each side, one large, the 

 other small, and placed close together ; the tubercles are whitish. 

 Legs yellowish; pro-legs yellowish, except the anal pair, which 

 are whitish.
