TORTRICINA. 299 



longer than the head, above and between pale straw-colour ; at the 

 sides and beneath fuscous. Antennae umber- coloured. Thorax dark 

 umber, mixed with grey scales. Patagia same colour as the thorax, 

 the tips whitish. Anterior wings glossy, pale drab (sometimes flesh- 

 coloured), clouded with pale ochre and with umber- coloured mark- 

 ings. At the base is an umber- coloured patch, extending one-fourth 

 along the costa, but only half so far upon the dorsal magin. At the 

 centre of the costa is an oblique quadrate patch of umber- colour, 

 sharply denned, except at its apex, where it softens, and suffuses 

 into the ground-colour. Opposite to this, but nearer the base, 

 on the dorsal margin, is 'a large, somewhat triangular, mottled cloud. 

 A curved umber streak originates on the costa at the apical region, 

 and attains the anal angle ; this is succeeded by a dusky cloud at 

 the apex, marked with lustrous blue streaks. The costa and dorsal 

 margins maculated, and towards the anal angle, between the apical 

 and central markings, is a pale ochreous cloud. Posterior wings and 

 marginal scales dull fuscous, the latter with drab bases, and glossy. 

 Cilia glossy, pale fuscous. Abdomen fuscous. $ Exp. al. 6^-7 lin. 



An uncommon species ; discovered near Bristol by Mr. Sircom, 

 about ten years ago. Like its congeners, constant in size and 

 colour ; allied to Eup. atricapitana, but distinguished by its white 

 or pale drab head, smaller size, and paler drab anterior wings. 



The imago appears in July and August ; it occurs locally near 

 Bristol; it has also been taken at Farnham, frequenting the 

 Sallow, and at Probus in Cornwall. Stephens, in his c Illus- 

 trations/ vol. iv. Haust. p. 183, says, it has occurred in the north 

 of England and in Scotland.

Head and face white. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the head ; 

 above white ; at the sides white, with an irroration of dusky scales ; 

 beneath, slightly ochreous at the base, grey in the middle, and 

 whitish at the apex. Antennae pale fuscous. Thorax white, some- 

 times with a longitudinal black line on the vertex. Patagia white, 

 with one or two black spots on the shoulder. Anterior wings glossy, 

 white, with ferruginous, fuscous and umber marks and specklings ; 

 the base streaked narrowly and sharply with umber. On the costa, 

 near the base, is a deep umber quadrate patch, with another at the 

 middle, triangular in shape and paler in colour ; beneath this is a 

 black crescent, followed by a somewhat conical, fuscous patch, 

 streaked with umber, darkest anteriorly, and originating on the dorsal 

 margin. At the anal angle, on the dorsal margin, is another paler
