276 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidce, 



patch at the apex extending through the apical cilia, 

 and much mottled with shining dark purple scales. The 

 cilia on the middle of the apical margin are white. 

 Hind wings pale cinereous, somewhat shining, with 

 scarcely paler cilia. First and second pairs of tibiae 

 white, with strong thick tufts doubly barred on the 

 upper side with brown ; the feet spotted with fuscous. 

 Third pair of tibiae densely hairy, together with the feet 

 outwardly spotted with brownish. Expanse, 19 mm. 



One specimen in Mr. Gooch's collection, with no record 

 of its capture.

Lecithocera maculata, n. s. (PI. XI., fig. 18). 



Capite levi, fusco. Palpis externe fusco suffusis in- 

 \terne albido-ochraceis. Antennis crassiusculis ochreo- 

 flavidis. Alis anticis fuscis subnitide purpurascentibus 

 macula discali minore macula in finem cellules majore et 

 macula subobsoleta costali in terno apicali ochraceis. 

 Posticis et abdomine fuscis quam anticis paulo diluti- 

 oribus. 



Head smooth, fuscous. Palpi whitish ochreous on 

 their inner sides, touched with fuscous externally. An- 

 tennae very thick yellowish ochreous. Fore wings 

 fuscous, slightly shining, and with a purplish tinge ; a 

 small faint ochreous discal spot on the outer edge of the 

 basal third ; a larger roundish faifft ochreous spot at the 

 end of the cell, and another less conspicuous spot of the 

 same colour (sometimes scarcely visible) on the costal 

 margin above and beyond it, from which an outwardly 

 angulated line of very faint ochreous scales crosses 

 the wing to the dorsal margin. The hind wings and 

 abdomen fuscous, slightly paler than the fore wings. 

 Expanse, 13 mm. 



Two specimens taken at Spring Vale, in bush and at 

 light, December and March. 



This differs from other species of the genus with which 

 I am acquainted in the presence of pale ochreous spots 

 on the fore wings.
