 PHALiENA GEMINANA. 



DOUBLE-DOT TORTRIX MOTH.

Antennae gradually tapering from the bafe to the tip : wings in ge- 

 neral deflected when at reft. Fly by night. 



* TORTRIX. 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Tortrix Gem i nana. Anterior wings pale with a broad fufcous 

 ftripe along the middle, edged interiorly with a jagged whitifh line :■ 

 a fmall teftaceous fpot, with two black dots near the anal angle. 



The prevailing colour of the upper wings in this fpecies, when the 

 infe6t is in perfect condition, is of milky yellowifh, varied with tef- 

 taceous. Befides the broad fufcous longitudinal made, and teftaceous 

 double dotted fpot behind, as mentioned in the fpecific character, 

 there are a variety of elegant markings and lineations of teftaceous 

 brown and black at the apex and along the outer edge. We fufpecl 

 that it is an uncommon infe6t, having hitherto only met with it once : 

 — this was taken in Kent.
