228 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidce, 



length of the head beyond it, brownish ochreous, some- 

 what paler on their inner sides, the apical joint touched 

 with fuscous ; antennae pale fuscous ; thorax brownish 

 fuscous. Fore wings scarcely emarginate below the 

 apex, very pale whitish ochreous, with a distinct brownish 

 fuscous basal patch covering rather less than a fourth of 

 the dorsal margin, gradually widening towards the costa, 

 but not reaching it ; a conspicuous brownish fuscous 

 fascia beyond the middle, more clearly denned on its 

 inner than on its outer edge, and with a slight projection 

 on its inner side within the lower half of the cell; it is 

 slightly wider on the dorsal than on the costal margin, 

 and is indistinctly diffused outwardly below the middle 

 in the direction of the anal angle ; a diffused brownish 

 fuscous costal patch lies between the fascia and the 

 apex, and at the apical margin is a series of small 

 dentate spots of the same colour, followed by a slender 

 pale line along the extreme margin. Cilia brownish 

 fuscous, with a slight pale line along their middle ; a 

 slight ochreous shade lies immediately below the base of 

 the costa, running parallel to it along the upper edge of 

 the basal patch. The costa itself is brownish fuscous at 

 the base, with spots of the same colour unequally distri- 

 buted throughout its length, being smaller and more 

 frequent before the middle than beyond it. On the pale 

 portions of the wing between the dark markings are 

 some rather indistinct brownish fuscous dots and 

 streaklets, of which three arising on the dorsal margin 

 before the middle are the most conspicuous. Hind 

 wings very pale cinereous, spotted irregularly with 

 dilute greyish fuscous, giving them a reticulated 

 appearance. Cilia the same colour as the hind wings, 

 with a greyish fuscous line along the middle. Expanse, 

 1618 mm. 



Three specimens, of which one only is in good con- 

 dition, taken at light in October at Spring Vale. I have 

 also a specimen from Zululand.
