306 TORTRIC1NA. 



at and beyond the middle. Apical scales fuscous, mixed with ochreous. 

 Cilia paler. Posterior wings dull, fuscous, inclining to umber. Mar- 

 ginal scales fuscous, their bases ochreous. Cilia dusky drab. Ab- 

 domen fuscous, the apex dusky ochreous. 5 Exp. al. 5^-6 lin. An- 

 terior wings marked as in the J , but darker, and more suffused with 

 iron-grey. 



Not common ; somewhat resembling Eup. griseana, being of 

 the same size, but darker in colour, and may be distinguished 

 from it by the ochr -eons-coloured cloud in the apical region. 



The imago appears in July, and occurs at Dover, at Brisling- 

 ton ; in Cheshire, in the Cambridgeshire Fens, and other places. 



13. Vectisana, Westwood. Alis anticis nitidis rufo-cinereis fusco- 

 strigatis ; medio fascia obliqua, macula pallidiori ad apicem costali 

 fuscis ; posticis cinereis. 3 Exp. al. 4 lin. 



Head ochreous at the sides, primrose- colour on the vertex. Face 

 primrose-colour. Eyes black. Palpi as long as the head ; above and 

 between primrose -colour, at the sides and beneath inclining to 

 ochreous. Antenna? fuscous, darker at the base; the basal joint 

 clothed with pale ochreous scales. Thorax dull brown. Patagia 

 slightly paler. Anterior wings glossy, drab ; the base clouded with 

 fuscous. At the middle of the costa is a broad, curved, fuscous 

 fascia, which attains the dorsal margin before the middle. Crossing 

 the apical angle is another mark, also fuscous, dilating in its centre. 

 At the anal angle are one or two small fuscous clouds, and a few 

 similar-coloured streaks lie along the apical margin. Apical scales 

 drab, alternated with fuscous. Cilia drab. Posterior wings and 

 marginal scales pale fuscous, the latter with drab bases. Cilia drab. 

 Abdomen fuscous, the caudal tuft drab. Exp. al. 4J lin. Anterior 

 wings of the same colours, but rather more distinctly marked than 

 in the tf . 



Local, and in but few cabinets. In general appearance it very 

 much resembles Eup. rupicola, but is much smaller, and de- 

 ficient of the ochreous cloud at the apex of the anterior wings. 

 It is perhaps still more closely allied to Eup. griseana, which it 

 resembles, by having the clouded mark on the dorsal margin at 

 the base. 



It occurs near Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, where it was first 

 captured, in August 1843, by Mr. S. Stevens; and the first notice 

 of it is in "Westwood and Humphrey's ' British Moths and their 

 Transformations/ vol. ii. p. 176, pi. 100, fig. 15, under the name 

 of Cochylis Vectisana.
