TORTRICINA. 309 



the pith, and at the end of April, or beginning of May, goes into 

 pupa at the top of the stem, first spinning a loose white silken 

 web. 



17. subroseana. Haw. Alis anticis fusco punctatis ; ante medium 

 marginis dorsalis fascia obliqua abbreviata fusca ; posticis griseis, 

 subtus cinereo punctatis. rf Exp. al. 6 lin. 



Head and face pale drab. Eyes brown. Palpi longer than the 

 head ; pale drab, dusky at the base. Antenna? pale fuscous, drab at 

 the base. Thorax pale drab. Patagia inclining to fuscous. Anterior 

 wings pale drab, with fuscous specklings, and an ochreous, fuscous, 

 oblique, abbreviated fascia. Costa speckled with pale fuscous through- 

 out ; the base of the wing clouded with dusky, and the apical region 

 with fine fuscous specklings, arranged somewhat in streaks. Before 

 the middle of the dorsal margin originates the central fascia, which 

 is darkest at its commencement, dilating slightly towards its apex. 

 Apical scales fuscous. Cilia pale subochreous. Posterior wings 

 pale grey, with a slight ochreous tinge, and having a mottled ap- 

 pearance, from the speckled under-surface showing through. Cilia 

 white, glossy. Legs pale straw-colour, or whitish. Abdomen pale 

 fuscous ; the caudal tuft slightly ochreous. Exp. al. 6-6-1- lin. 



An uncommon species, and not liable to variation. Allied to 

 Eup. roseana, but distinguished from it by the absence of the 

 rosy tints of that insect. It likewise bears a superficial resem- 

 blance to Eup. affinitana, griseana, and Anthemidana. From the 

 first it may be separated by the more strongly-expressed central 

 fascia; from the second by the absence of the small pale basal 

 patch ; and from the last by the nearly entire central fascia. 



The imago occurs mostly in the north of England, and in 

 Scotland, among Colluna vulgaris (Common Heather), in sub- 

 alpine situations. 



18. Anthemidana, Curtis. Alis anticis albido-roseis nubiliscinereis; 

 fascia medio marginis dorsalis obliqua abbreviata ; macula apicem 

 versus strigaque costali ferrugineis; posticis pallide griseis. 



<$ Exp. al. 4-5 lin. 



Head and face cream-colour, inclining to rosy. Eyes black. Palpi 

 as long as the head ; above pale cream- colour, dusky ochreous at the 

 base and at the sides. Antenna? fuscous. Thorax and patagia pale 

 cream -colour, irrorated with cinereous. Anterior wings glossy, pale 

 rosy colour, with pale fuscous (inclining to ferruginous) markings. 

 The costa, at the base, is cinereous, and speckled with the same 

 colour throughout, especially at and beyond the middle ; some 

 similar- coloured nebula3 lie towards the anal angle. Before the 

 middle of the dorsal margin arises an oblique ferruginous fascia.
