282 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidce, 



basal portion of the wing in a narrow streak along the 

 upper edge of the second lobe, leaving the cilia along 

 the margin of the cleft, as well as the dorsal half of the 

 lobe, and the cilia upon it, fawn-brown. Hind wings 

 shining fawn-colour, with no projecting scales, but 

 apparently a slightly darker streak in the cilia of the third 

 lobe just before the middle. Legs pale stramineous, 

 with a dark slender line along their upper sides and on 

 the pale spurs, which are almost equal in length. Ex- 

 prinse, 19 20 mm.

The type of this species is stated by Mr. Walker 

 to have been received from Sierra Leone. I find 

 one specimen in Mr. Gooch's collection which seems 

 to agree with it in all particulars. It was taken at 

 Spring Vale in March.
