TORTRICINA. 253 



6. pascuana, Hiib. Alls anticis nitidis, cinereis, basin versus fas- 

 cia angusta angulata, medio altera, apice macula fuscis ; posticis 

 fusco-griseis. <5 Exp. al. 7-8 lin. 



Head and face dull cinereous. Eyes black. Palpi as long as the 

 head, cinereous, sometimes drab. Antennae fuscous. Thorax and 

 patagia dull cinereous. Anterior wings glossy, cinereous, with fus- 

 cous markings. Near the base is a narrow, angulated fascia, darkest 

 towards the costa, and attaining the dorsal margin. At the middle 

 of the costa is an oblique, irregular fascia, which reaches the anal 

 angle ; at the apex is a fuscous cloud. Apical scales fuscous, with 

 drab bases. Cilia paler. Posterior wings and marginal scales fus- 

 cous grey. Cilia drab. Legs dull, straw-colour. Abdomen fuscous ; 

 the apex subochreous. $ Exp. al. 7|-8-i- lin. 



Not a very common species, and tolerably constant in size and 

 markings. It much resembles C. alternella, but is distinguished 

 from it by the basal fascia being entire and attaining the dorsal 

 margin. The anterior wings are more elongate than in either 

 that species, C. subjectana, or C. Virgaureana. 



The imago appears in July, and occurs round London; in the 

 neighbourhood of Box Hill, in Cheshire, &c. It is not uncommon 

 near Dublin. 



7. sinuana, Steph. Alis anticis cinereis, basi fascia curva, medio 

 altera obliqua angulata, macula ad apicem costalem, fuscis, brun- 

 neo punctatis; in medio nebula indistincta subaurea; posticis 

 griseis. c? Exp. al. 8^ 9 lin. 



Head drab. Pace slightly paler. Eyes black. Palpi longer than 

 the head ; above and at the sides dusky drab, paler beneath and be- 

 tween. Antennae grey. Thorax and patagia dusky drab. Anterior 

 wings glossy, pale grey, with a slight fuscous tinge. The base is 

 clouded with pale fuscous, followed by a very curved and angulated 

 fuscous fascia, with a golden tinge, and edged with umber, widest at 

 its origin, narrowing to the angle, then narrowing still more to its 

 termination. At the middle of the costa is a paler and less di- 

 stinctly-defined, oblique, angulated fascia, sometimes interrupted 

 before reaching the anal angle, and having in the middle a dull 

 golden cloud, clearly visible when viewed obliquely. Between the 

 central fascia and the apex is a fuscous cloud, more or less suffusing 

 the apical region. Apical scales fuscous, with the tips hoary. Cilia 

 pale fuscous grey. Posterior wings pale fuscous, lighter at the base. 

 Marginal scales fuscous, with luteous bases. Cilia paler. Abdomen 

 fuscous grey, the caudal tuft inclining to ferruginous. $ Exp. al. 

 10-10^ lin. Anterior wings darker and more distinctly marked 

 than in the rf . 



Somewhat rare ; of the size of O. octomaculana, but with the
