of a few Australian Lepidoptcra. 293 



Genus Tortricopsis, Newman. 



Caput rolundatum, fronte laevigato ; antennae corpore longiores, 

 setaceae, simplices, nullo modo armatae ; maxillae elongatae ; labi- 

 palpi majores, porrecti, apice reciirvi, articnio basali inviso, 2(lo 

 magno, deltoideo, angulo basali ad orem extenso, producto, por- 

 recLo, subacute, apicali obtuso, articulum tertium erectum, paul- 

 lulo recurvum, gracilem, elongatum emittente ; alae anticae latae, 

 amplae, basim versus arcuatae, apice paullo falcatae, margine ex- 

 terno fere quadrate ; alae posticae latae ; cilia brevia. 



This pretty insect in the form and size of its wings closely 

 resembles a Torlrix, the short cilia also seem to indicate an 

 approach to that fannly ; but the labial palpi, which are fortu- 

 nately very perfect, much more nearly approach those of Upso- 

 lophus and Aplota, nevertheless it differs from these in the 

 smoothness and roundness of its head and foreiiead, and in outline 

 the quiescent insect has exactly the bell-shaped figure of a true 

 Tortrix.

 Maxillae ferruginous ; head, labial palpi and antennae mouse- 

 coloured ; thorax ferruginous ; fore wings ferruginous, with an 

 oblique, somewhat ill-defined, brown mark near the middle of the 

 costa, a suffused brown cloud near the middle of the inner margin, 

 and the external margin and cilia also brown ; hind wings yellow, 

 with a ferruginous tinge along the margin; each individual scale of 

 the fringe of the hind wings has the basal half ferruginous, the 

 apical half brown, so that the cilia have two distinct colours, next 

 the wing they are bright ferruginous, externally dingy brown : 

 beneath, the fore wings are bright ferruginous, slightly dusky at 

 the apt\ ; the hind wings yell;)W, with the costal margin, a broad
