 Tortrix bimaculana, Donovan, Insects of New Holland. 

 Several specimens were taken. I have rcdescribed it as afford- 

 ing a second instance of the extremely near approach made by 

 the Tineadce of New Holland to our true Tortrices ; no one who 

 sees this pretty insect could feel the least surprise that Donovan 

 should describe it as a Tortrix, 



Sp. 3. CEcophora Isabella, Newman. (PI. XVUI. fig. 2.) 

 Jlis anticis flavescentibus, costdfasciisque obliquis daabus, extervd 

 tenuiori, fuscescentibus, ciliis pallidis ; posticis fuliginosis, con- 

 coloribus : subtus, alis omnibus fuliginosis, concoloribus. (Ala- 

 rum dilat. 'S unc.) 

 Head, labial palpi and thorax pale yellow ; antennae and ab- 

 domen dingy brown, the apex of the latter yellow ; fore wings pale 

 yellow, with the costa brown, the apical region of the wing is 

 adorned with two transverse oblique fasciae of a pale purplish 

 brown colour ; the specimens being evidently wasted it is difficult 

 to define the colour with greater precision ; the first of these fascite 

 commences on the inner margin, somewhat within the anal angle 

 and proceeds obliquely upwards to the costa, terminating near the 

 apex of the wing ; the second and smaller fascia is united with 

 the first at its base, and follows the outer margin of the wing 

 almost to its apex, leaving a slender marginal line of yellow, the 

 cilia are concolorous with the disk of the wing ; hind wings dusky 

 brown, with concolorous cilia: beneath, all the wings are uniformly 

 smoky brown, with concolorous cilia. 



There is but a single specimen of this insect ; it is referred with 

 doubt to the genus CEcophora and has no resemblance whatever 

 to any described species. 



Sp. 4 CEcophora Ellenella, Newman. (PI. XVHI. fig. 3.) 

 Alis anticis sericalo-fuliginosis, ciliis concoloribus ; posticis luteis, 



apice, margine postico, ciUisque fuscescentibus. (Alarum 



dilat. 1 unc.) 

 Head, palpi, antennae, thorax and abdomen pale drab brown, 

 with a satiny lustre which also pervades the entire upper surface
