new species of North American Tortricidse. 509 



Psddisca invicta, sp. n. 



Antennae biciliate (1) in the male; greyish ochreous. Palpi 

 fawn greyish at the sides, whitish above and beneath ; the apical 

 joint almost entirely concealed in closely appressed scales. Head 

 fawn-brown. Thorax whitish, with a pale pink suffusion. Fore- 

 wings white, mottled with pale leaden grey, except on a broad 

 quadrangular medio-dorsal patch, the grey mottling is more con- 

 centrated around the margins of this patch and before the upper 

 half of the apical margin than on the other parts of the wing ; the 

 quadrangular white dorsal patch has its inner edge almost straight, 

 a narrow pale fawn-brown line studded with groups of black scales 

 separating it from the grey mottled space which precedes it, its 

 outer edge is somewhat angulated, reducing its width above the 

 fold, here also it is bounded by a slender fawn-brown line and a 

 series of black dots ; the slight fawn-brown shade beyond it 

 precedes a curved line of black dots indicating the inner margin of 

 an obsolete ocelloid patch, and beyond this, parallel with the 

 middle of the apical margin, are three or four small black lunules 

 with some pale fawn-brown scaling which is repeated in an oval 

 spot at the extreme apex ; cilia rosy white, a grey line at their base 

 around the apex, and three grey spots about the middle of the 

 margin. Exp. al., $ 30 mm. ; $ 33'5 mm. Hindwings greyish 

 fuscous ; cilia white, with a dividing shade near their base. 

 Abdomen greyish. Legs white.

 (Smith). 



The description is taken from an extremely fine and 

 well-marked specimen, but two varieties occur which are 

 at least worth mentioning : in both, the lines of black dots 

 are obliterated and the grey mottling is much less dis- 

 tinguishable, in one the whole wing is suffused with rosy 

 pink as in fine specimens of the European Psedisca incar- 

 natana, Hb., in the other there is but the faintest 

 indication of the darker markings, the white ground- 

 colour prevailing throughout. 



(?) carolinana, sp. n. (PI. XII., fig. 5.) 



Antennce finely ciliate ; greyish fuscous. Palpi (broken). 

 Head purplish fuscous, mixed with grey brown scales. Thorax 

 purplish fuscous, posteriorly tufted with ferruginous and grey
