294 TORTRICINA. 



tawny. Anterior wings : the ground-colour pale drab or tawny, in- 

 clining to ochreous, much streaked and speckled with dusky or fus- 

 cous, not arranged in denned markings; the ground-colour has a 

 slight lustrous appearance, and the costa is maculated throughout ; 

 the spots smallest and darkest towards the base. Apical scales drab, 

 or tawny, alternated with dusky patches. Cilia drab, with greyish 

 bases. Posterior wings whitish at the base, much speckled with dull 

 fuscous at and towards the margins, where they are darkest. Mar- 

 ginal scales fuscous, with pale drab bases. Cilia grey at the apex, 

 whitish towards the anal angle. Abdomen tawny. 5 Exp. al. 

 7-7-J lin. Anterior wings marked as in the <3 , but mostly with a 

 yellower tinge. 



Also a coast species ; variable in the intensity of its colours, 

 and somewhat in size. The 6 appears to be the rarer sex. 

 Allied to A. Dubrisana, but is larger, more coarsely freckled, and 

 the posterior wings in BOTH sexes broadly mottled round the 

 margins. In the latter species the posterior wings of the J are 

 only slightly maculated towards the apex ; those of the ? plain 

 pale fuscous. 



The imago appears from May to August, and occurs near 

 Deal. This species was first discovered in England by Mr. H. J. 

 Harding, who detected the larva feeding in the roots and stems 

 of the Sea Holly (Eryngium maritimum) in 1854, from which he 

 bred the perfect insect the following year. 



The pupa is reddish brown. 



The larva is yellowish white, with black spots; and an in- 

 teresting account of its habits is to be found in the ' Ento- 

 mologist's Annual' for 1856, p. 35. 



Genus VI. CALOSETIA, WILKINSON; MSS. 



Palpi longer than the head, ascending, remote, diverging ; basal 

 joint moderately stout, drooping, pyriform, truncate ; apical straight, 

 slender, ending in a point, as long as the basal ; middle ascending, 

 thickening from the base, stoutest near the apex, four times as long 

 as the apical. Maxillaa stout, shorter than the palpi. Thorax sub- 

 globose, robust. Anterior wings : length equals twice the width ; 

 costa regularly arcuated ; apex acute ; apical margin concave ; dorsal 

 margin rounded. The costal vein attains the margin one-third from 

 the base. The discoidal cell lies in the upper half of the wing, 

 extends to half its length, and receives an internal nervure which 

 is inserted between the first and second subcostal nervures, and 

 passing to the second apical nervure ; the subcostal nervures equi-
