268 Lord Walsingliam on the Tortricidce, 



& Nothris meridionella, n. s. (PL XIII. , fig. 38). 

 Capite palpis et antennis dilute ochreis. Alls anticis 

 ochreis ; puncto in finem cellulse majore, punctis tribus 

 ante medium minoribus, duobus discalibus uno in 

 plica, fuscis ; margine apicali subfusco adumbrate 

 punctis tribus minimis supra angulum analem ; ciliis 

 ochreis. Alis posticis cinereis ; ciliis subochraceis. 



Head, palpi and antennae pale ochreous, the palpi 

 with the second joint thickened, very slightly tufted at 

 its apex; apical joint slender, nearly as long as the 

 second. Thorax and fore wings ochreous, with four 

 small fuscous dots, the largest at the end of the cell, the 

 other three much smaller ; the first on the disc at about 

 one-fifth from the base, the second also on the disc just 

 before the middle, the third on the fold lying obliquely 

 below and before the second ; the apical margin slightly 

 shaded with fuscous, with two or three small marginal 

 fuscous dots above the anal angle. Cilia ochreous. 

 Hind wings cinereous, with pale ochreous cilia. Ex- 

 panse, 15 mm. 



Two specimens in Mr. Gooch's collection. 



This species is nearly allied to the European Nothris 

 Dwdhametta; Stn., but differs in the number and position 

 of the spots. 



TOPEUTIS, Hubner. 

 C Topeutis drucella, n. s. (PI. XIII., fig. 39). 



Capite cum flocco frontali cervine albido. Palpis 

 capite plus quam bis longioribus porrectis. Alis anticis 

 (costa arcuata) albidis, inter venas dilute cervino multi- 

 striatis ; costse dimidio basali conspicue albido ; punctis 

 duobus parvis discalibus brunneo-fuscis. Posticis dilute 

 cinereo-cervinis. 



Head fawn-white, thickly clothed with coarse scales 

 projecting forwards over the face. Labial palpi whitish 

 above, dusky beneath, projecting more than twice the 

 length of the head beyond it, less roughly clothed than 

 in the European species of this genus, the apical joint 

 especially being much less coarsely scaled. The struc- 

 ture of the whitish antennse is similar to those of 

 Topeutis larbella, Fab., but they are somewhat less 

 hairy in the male. Thorax whitish fawn-colour. Fore
