Tortrix fasciana. Fabr. Fut. Syjl. T. 3. p. 2.p. 261. n. 782 ? 



This infect approaches very nearly to Phalzena fafciana of Fabricius : 

 it is alfo allied to Phalaena Gerningana of the fame author, and it is not 

 unlikely, on future inveftigation, they may both prove to be accidental va- 

 rieties of the fame fpecies as our infect. The upper wings in our fpeci- 

 men is of a cinereous brown colour inclining to reddilh, and marked 

 with many fhort tranfverfe lines. Acrofs the middle is a broad band., 

 and at the tip another fmaller one, with a flexuous edge, leaving a pale 

 narrow fpot in the middle of the pofterior apex next the margin. 



Taken in Kent near Faveriham.
