testaceis, sive stramineis, absque fascia, sed omnino rufo 

 pulcherrime reticulatis." 

 This is the first description of the ciliana form subsequent to 

 Donovan's very short inadequate explanation of his figure. 



Haworth. Lef.. Brit., pp. 418, no. 78. [1812 (ll).J Tortrix 

 rhomhana. Hb. 173. 



" AHs acutis ferrugineis subreticulatis fascia completa ainuosa 

 media nigricante." 



"Descriptio. T. bifidanae similis sed dignoscitur primo intuitu, 

 alis anticis apice acutis, nee obtusis, sive retusis." 

 Variat. 



" a. Alis anticis saturate ferrugineis, obsolete fusco reticulatis, 

 striga obsoleta ante medium ; fasciaqiie media sinuosa vix 

 obliqua completa ustulato-fuscis ; et inter banc fasciam et 

 marginem posticum, macula costali etiam ustulato-fusca; 

 posticis pallida fuscescentibus, vel albicantibus ; ciliis 

 omnibus albis, sed in anticis alis, ad angulum ani ustulatis. 

 " /3. Fere duplo minor, alis anticis magis ferrugineis; caeteris ut 



in a. 

 " y. Anticis pone fasciam mediam, maculis duabus fusco-ustulatis, 



una costali, altera opposita disci : caeteris ut in ^. 

 " 5. Alis anticis sordide ferrugineis fusco plus minus suftusis, 



fasciis maculisque obsoletis ; caeteris ut in ultimis. 

 " e. Alis anticis omnino fuscis, immaculatis, costa ipsa solum 



tenuissime ferruginea ; caeteris ut in 5. 

 " f. Alis, ciliis, costaque ipsa omnino fuscis immaculatis : caeteris 



ut in ultimis." 

 In the above description (the original description) Haworth says 

 " T. bifidanae similis." Subsequent authors recognise bifidana, Haw., 

 as ferni(/a)ia. 



In the above three descriptions and the varieties shortly diagnosed 

 Haworth gives a very fair summary of the aberration usually met 

 with in this species. But it must be noted that this is not the 

 rlioDihana, Hb. 173. 



In [1821] Charpentier, with Notes by the talented Zincken g. 

 Sommer, revised the micro-lepidopterous portion of the famous Verz. 

 Wien. of Schiffermiiller in his Zmi, Wick. Schab.etc, Verz. Wien., wath 

 the actual collection of the latter before him. 



A. Charpentier (Zincken). Zwi. Wick. Sc/iab., etc., Verz. Wien, 

 p. 47. [1821.] 



" Schiff. W.V., p. 128, no. 10. Tort. rosana = Tort. contmidnana, 

 Hub., 142. 



He says: — "I feel quite sure that Linn^'s Tortrix rosana, Sys. 

 Nat., xii., p. 876, and hn. Snec, no. 1314, belongs here, it cannot be 

 put to T. sorbiana, Hiib., as Lespeyres does in Illiger's Magazine. The 

 ' Fauna ' describes this Tortrix quite recognisably, especially the words 

 at the end : ' alae superiores postice emarginatae, margine nigricante.' 

 The shape of Hiibner's figure of this Tortrix, which I possees in 

 considerable variety, is not quite true to nature." 



Charpentier does not consider the whole description which, as 

 Zincken points out below, is quite exclusive of contaniinano. Linne 

 has confused the species in x. when editing xii.
