new species of North American Tortricidse. 499 



elongate, slightly widened outwardly, costal margin straight, apical 

 margin oblique, apex rounded ; creamy white, with some shining 

 white scales and rosy fawn-brown markings ; the costal margin 

 shaded with rosy fawn to beyond the middle, more widely at the 

 base, this colour is diverted from the middle of the costal margin 

 obliquely backward, but almost obliterated on the cell forming an 

 indistinct fasciaform band which terminates in an oblique quad- 

 rate ferruginous spot, resting widely on the dorsal margin, reaching 

 to the fold and narrowly margined with black on both sides, a 

 small black spot lying beyond it at the commencement of the 

 dorsal cilia ; a fawn-brown shade, leaving the costal margin at its 

 outer fourth, curves outwards and reverts parallel to the apical 

 margin in the direction of the anal angle, and contains a patch and 

 line of black scales below its middle ; this is preceded and followed 

 by sinuous broken bands of silvery white, the outer one ending in 

 a fork before the apex ; apical margin narrowly fawn- brown with 

 some ferruginous scales ; cilia mottled throughout with pale rosy 

 fawn and blue-grey scales, which at the apex are darker than 

 towards the anal angle. Underside leaden grey, the costal margin 

 narrowly rosy fawn, with white and grey speckling towards the 

 apex. Exp. al., 20 mm. Hindwings pale grey ; cilia whitish grey. 

 Underside paler than in the f orewings, with darker reticulations on 

 the outer half. Abdomen fawn-grey. Legs greyish, the tarsi 

 banded with fawn- brown.

- Phtheochroa macrocarpana, sp. n. (PL XII., fig. 3.) 



Antennce cinereous. Palpi projecting three times the length of 

 the head beyond it ; creamy white. Head creamy white. Thorax 

 grey, mottled with whitish. Forewinga shining white, with grey 

 bands ; a broad grey basal patch, containing a few black scales at 

 its outer edge, and some white about the base of the fold and on 

 the dorsal margin, spreads obliquely outwards from the costa to 

 the fold, thence reverting at an angle to the dorsal margin ; an 

 irregular central fascia of the same colour is indented before and 

 behind at the upper edge of the cell and is less well defined on its
