LIST OF TORTRICINA AND TINEINA COLLECTED IN NORTH-WEST 
MOROCCO BY MR. TROVEY BLACKMORE, IN 1870-71. 
BY H. Tf. STAINTON, ESR-S.; 
Before proceeding to enumerate the species, it may be as well to 
preface my remarks with the following account of the localities, which 
I received from Mr. Blackmore, in the month of June, 1870. 
“The greater number of the specimens were obtained from the 
Marshen. This is a plateau about five or six hundred feet above the 
sea, extending from the Western side of the citadel of Tangier to the 
Jews’ river, a distance of a mile. At the end nearest the town, it is 
covered with short herbage, and is surrounded with gardens, having 
hedges of cane, aloes, or prickly-pears. Where it slopes down to the 
Jews’ river, it is very rocky, and amongst the rocks, Cistus, Coronilla, 
Myrtle, and a great profusion of shrubs and flowers, were growing. 
This was my principal collecting ground for the ALeros. 
“Past the Jews’ river is another hill, much loftier than the 
Marshen. I should fancy it must be over 1200 feet high. It is called 
Gibel-el-Kebir (Great Hill), and from the very great variety of vegeta- 
tion with which it it is covered, I should fancy that, if well worked, 
it would yield a goodly number of insects of all orders; but I had 
few opportunities of collecting on it, as it was almost too far for my 
walking powers. 
“ Swany is a small village about a mile and a-half out of Tangier ; 
and in a lane, uniting the two places, I captured a few things. This 
lane is bordered on both sides by gardens and orchards, fenced in by 
canes or aloes, but among them Clematis, Aristolochia, Sarsaparilla 
&c., &c., were growing. 
“The Wad-el-Halk locality is a meadow by the edge of a river of 
that name, East of Tangier, the only decent bit of grass in that neigh- 
bourhood. Between the Wad-el-Halk and Tangier are some extensive 
sand-hills, where scarcely anything but a peculiar kind of white brcom 
will grow.” 
TORTRICINA. 
Tortrix pronubana, Hiibner. One specimen from a hedge near the 
town of Tangier, April 25th, 1870. According to my own ex- 
perience, this is a common pest in the Mediterranean region, 
resembling in its omnivorous habits our Z. rosana and TP. xylosteana. 
Grapholita succedana, Frolich. Four specimens taken amongst broom 
on the sand-hills, January 4th to 20th, 1870, may, perhaps, be 
referable to southern forms of this species: they look, however, 
very different from our English wlicetana.
