TORTRICINA. 291 



the central fascia, which are produced into silvery streaks running 

 along the borders of the markings. Near the apex is a streak, which 

 is followed by a series of silvery dots along the apical region. The 

 pale portions of the wing are suffused with ochreous, and the dorsal 

 margin is maculated throughout with the same colour. Apical scales 

 ferruginous, with pale bases. Cilia pale ferruginous, with a rosy 

 tint ; sometimes both are alternated with ochreous. Posterior wings 

 grey, with a violet tint ; darkest on the margin, of mottled appear- 

 ance, in consequence of the speckling of the under-surface showing 

 through. Marginal scales dark viole,t-grey, the bases with a pearly 

 lustre. Cilia of pearly lustre, with a slight violet tinge. Abdomen 

 iron-grey ; the apex drab. $ Exp. al. 77^- lin. Anterior wings 

 marked as in the 3 . 



More common than the A. Baumanniana ; smaller in size, and 

 paler in colour : the central fascia not attaining the dorsal margin 

 so near the base. 



The imago appears in June and July, in dry chalky situations, 

 among mixed growth. It occurs at Darenth Wood, at Mickle- 

 ham, on the Downs beyond Croydon, near Brighton, and other 

 places in the south. 



6. badiana, Schiff. Alls anticis nitidis stramineis, nebulis fusco- 

 ochraceis ; medio fascia obli qua interrupta brunnea ; ante apicem 

 altera pallidiori ; posticis fusco-cinereis. tf Exp. al. 8-8|- lin. 



Head pale primrose-colour behind, paler in front. Face whitish. 

 Eyes dark brown. Palpi longer than the head, very pale yellow 

 above, between, and beneath, fuscous at the sides. Antennae brown. 

 Thorax primrose-colour. Patagia pale brown ; the apex primrose- 

 colour. Anterior wings glossy, pale primrose -colour, with ochreous 

 clouds, and chocolate-coloured markings. On the costa at the base, 

 at the middle, and towards the apex, are ochreous-brown markings, 

 of more or less intensity in different specimens ; the middle one is 

 produced into a quadrate patch directed towards the anal angle, and 

 softening into the ground-colour of the wing. At the base is an 

 ochreous cloud, and before the middle of the dorsal margin is an 

 oblique, produced, chocolate-coloured mark, extending beyond the 

 centre of the disk towards the central costal patch, its apex rounded, 

 and its posterior and anterior edges slightly constricted in the middle. 

 Within the anal angle is a small, similar-coloured, sharply-defined 

 triangular patch ; the pale portions of the wing broadly clouded 

 with ochreous ; a slight silvery lustre borders the principal markings, 

 and there is also a curved lustrous streak proceeding from the anterior 

 margin of the apical costal mark to the anal angle. Apical scales 

 and cilia pale primrose- colour. Posterior wings and marginal scales 

 dull, of violet-brown colour ; the latter with drab bases. Cilia glossy,
