270 TORTRICINA. 



$ Exp. al. 6 lin. This sex is altogether different from the <$ in ap- 

 pearance, being very like a small brightly -marked S. lacunana. 



A Scotch species, and not occurring very abundantly ; it was 

 first captured by the late Richard Weaver, at the Black Forest, 

 among Heath. The $ is exceedingly rare in cabinets. Both 

 sexes are in the collections of Messrs. H. Doubleday and Edwin 

 Shepherd. 



6. fuligana, Hub. Haw. Alis anticis albidis ; macula basi, fascia 

 media obliqua, altera ad apicem, brunneis ; posticis fuscis, apice 

 saturatioribus. tf Exp. al. 5 lin. 



Head dull, dark drab. Face dull ochreous. Eyes black. Palpi as 

 long as the head ; above pale ochreous ; apex and sides inclining to 

 fuscous. Antennae fuscous. Thorax drab. Patagia paler. Anterior 

 wings dull, very pale drab, with umbreous markings. At the base, 

 extending one-third along the costa, is a patch, with its posterior edge 

 rounded and sharply denned ; succeeding this, at the middle, is an 

 oblique, broadish, undefined fascia, somewhat paler in colour ; and 

 beyond this again is a similar- coloured cloud, occupying the apical 

 angle, and extending to the anal angle. On the costa are five gemi- 

 nations : one before, and four beyond the central fascia. Apical 

 scales narrow, umbreous. Cilia fuscous, with drab bases. Posterior 

 wings fuscous, slightly darker towards the margin. Marginal scales 

 fuscous, with pale bases. Cilia whitish, inclining to straw-colour. 

 Legs straw-colour, with the upper sides of the tarsi speckled with 

 fuscous. Abdomen umbreous, the apex drab. $ Exp. al. 5 lin. 



A rare species, and subject to considerable variations in the 

 ground-colour of the wings. 



The imago appears in July among Fleabane (InulaDysenterica), 

 and occurs in the Metropolitan district; in Norfolk ; at Folke- 

 stone, and at Dawlish, in Devonshire. 



7. cespitana, Hub. Alis anticis rufo-ochraceis ; fascia basi, altera 

 medio angulata maculaque apicali brunneis, strigis costalibus 

 pallidis geminatis ; posticis fuscis. tf Exp. al. 7 lin. 



Head chocolate-brown, paler behind. Face slightly paler. Eyes

 above. Antennas fuscous. Thorax and patagia dull brown ; the 

 latter paler at the apex. Anterior wings dull drab or cream-colour, 

 with rich chocolate-brown markings and lustrous streaks. At the 

 base is a patch, streaky and palish at its origin, extending one- 

 fifth along the costa, and one-third along the dorsal margin ; its 

 posterior edge convex to beyond the middle, where it is angulated 

 and indented ; the central fascia is narrow at its origin and termi- 

 nation ; its anterior edge oblique to an angle in the middle ; pos-
