302 TORTRICINA. 



inclining to ochreous, palest at the tips and between. Antennae 

 fuscous. Thorax and patagia pale ochreous. Anterior wings glossy, 

 ochreous, with a broad, deep, fuscous or unibreous fascia in the 

 middle. The costa at the base is brown. The fascia is oblique and 

 streaky ; on the costa it occupies one-third the whole length, and 

 covers one-fourth of the dorsal margin ; its anterior and posterior 

 edges somewhat wavy. The dorsal margin is speckled with umber : 

 within the anal angle is a small, sharply- denned, trigonate, umber 

 spot, and near the apical margin are one or two other minute 

 spots of similar colour. Apical scales and cilia ochreous. Posterior 

 wings pale, fuscous, slightly darker at the apex, with a grey tinge at 

 the base. Marginal scales pale, fuscous. Cilia very pale, fuscous ; 

 sometimes white. Legs dull straw-colour. Abdomen glossy, dull 

 ochreous. 



Exceedingly rare ; distinguished from its congeners by the 

 shape of the central fascia. It is the Tortrix roserana of Fro- 

 lich ; and on the Continent does much injury in vineyards, the 

 larva feeding on the flower buds of the Vine. 



The imago has been captured flying among Birch trees, by 

 Mr. J. J. Wier ; it has also occurred near Edinburgh .

Head dusky, smoky brown. Face grey, varying to pale ochreous. 

 Eyes black. Palpi as long as the head ; above pale primrose ; at 

 the sides, between, and beneath inclining to ochreous. Antennae 

 with the basal and few succeeding joints blackish ; dark grey beyond. 

 Thorax and patagia dusky, ochreous, paler behind. Anterior wings 

 glossy, pale straw- or primrose -colour, clouded at the base and towards 

 the apex with ochreous ; the central fascia and apical marks fuscous, 

 rich brown, and umber; the base broadly clouded with umber; 

 the central fascia speckled with the same colour, broadest at its 

 origin ; its anterior edge defined, concave, and bounded by a narrow 

 streak of the ground-colour; its posterior edge undefined, sud- 

 denly contracting, and forming an indentation one -third from its 

 commencement. On the dorsal margin, close to the fascia, is an 

 ochreous patch, and another above the anal angle. The apical angle 

 is occupied by an oblique, sharply-defined, dull, ochreous, and umber 

 patch, with one or two paler spots on the costa. The costa umber 

 at the base, and spotted with the same colour at, and beyond, the 

 middle. Apical scales umber, with paler bases. Cilia dark, iron- 

 grey, mixed with dusky, ochreous scales. Posterior wings with a 

 subdued gloss, rich fuscous. Marginal scales glossy, fuscous, with 

 the bases narrowly dusky, ochreous. Cilia dusky, grey. Abdomen 'at
