TORTRICINA. 305 



straw-colour. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the head ; above, 

 between, and beneath, straw-colour, dull ochreous at the sides. 

 Antennae pale fuscous at the base, pale ochreous. Thorax and patagia 

 dull, ochreous drab. Anterior wings pale drab, with a pinkish tinge 

 and fuscous markings speckled with umber. At the base is an oblique, 

 pale fuscous, streaky patch, darkest towards the dorsal margin. At 

 the centre of the costa commences a broad oblique fascia ; its anterior 

 edge undulate, its posterior extending at right angles with the costa 

 to the centre of the disk, there forming an obtuse angle, by receding 

 and attaining the dorsal margin in an oblique direction ; in colour 

 this fascia is darkest posteriorly below the angle. A broad band 

 originates near the apex ; darkest on the costa, and speedily merging 

 into the ground-colour of the wing, but in certain aspects its course 

 may be traced to near the anal angle. The costa is speckled with 

 pale fuscous, and the dorsal margin with pale umber, as is also the 

 apical margin. Apical scales pale ochreous. Cilia pale drab. Pos- 

 terior wings fuscous, the base greyish. Marginal scales and cilia 

 drab. Abdomen fuscous, the apex drab. $ Exp. al. 5-|~ 6^ lin. 



An uncommon species ; scarcely so large as Eup. angustana, 

 but in colouring similar to Eup. Vectisana, and still more closely 

 resembling Eup. sub-roseana. 



The imago appears in July and August, at Darenth Wood, 

 St. OsytVs in Essex, and in Sussex ; at Probus in Cornwall, at 

 Lewisham, and various places round London. It frequents Inula 

 dysenterica (Fleabane). 



12. rupicola, Curt. Alis anticis rufo-cinereis, nubilis subochraceis ; 

 fascia media, altera apicem versus ochraceis, fusco-strigatis ; costa 

 punctis fuscis ; posticis brunneo-fuliginosis. rf Exp. al. 5i lin. 



Head straw-colour on the vertex, pale, dusky ochreous behind the 

 eyes. Face pale straw-colour. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the 

 head ; above and between straw-colour, at the sides and beneath 

 ochreous. Antennae fuscous. Thorax ochreous, mixed with dusky 

 or iron-grey. Patagia iron-grey at the base, ochreous at the apex. 

 Anterior wings dull, pale drab, clouded with pale ochreous, with 

 darker ochreous markings, speckled or irrorated with iron-grey. 

 Costa from the base to the middle clouded with iron-grey. Base 

 clouded with pale ochreous. At the middle of the costa com- 

 mences an oblique ochreous fascia, broad and nearly isometric ; its 

 edges irrorated with iron-grey, and most denned on the dorsal margin. 

 A similar- coloured, curved, but narrowish band, lies towards the 

 apex, originating on the costa, diminishing in width as it approaches 

 the anal angle. A large ochreous cloud occupies the whole apical 

 region. The principal markings with a border of the ground-colour ; 

 near the anal angle, on the dorsal margin, is a small, sharply-defined, 

 triangular spot. Costa spotted with fuscous throughout, especially
