PHILEDONE, HtTBNER; Stephens, AMPHISA, Curtis. 

 The antennse in this genus are either bipectinated, the bipectinations being hairy, or the joints have tufts of 

 hairs on each side ; the spiral tongue is short ; the fore ■wings narrowed at the base, truncated very obliquely, 

 and with the costal margin slightly emarginate ; the disc bearing an oblique fascia, and a patch at the extremity 

 of the costa. 



Species 1, — Philedone gerningiana '^ — (Plate LXXXI., Fig. 1) — Measures from 6 to 8 lines in expanse 

 fore wings pale fulvous or brownish, irrorated with tawny-orange ; an oblique chesnut brown bar across the 

 middle, followed by a pale streak and an apical brown patch ; hind wings brown. Found near Birmingham, 

 and in several parts of Scotland, in June, * 



^ Synonymes. — Tortrix Gemingiana, Fabricius ; Stephens ; Wood, fig. 876 (but not of Haworth). 

 ToTtrix peclinaria, Hubner ; Curtis. 



Species 2. — Philedone Walkerana ' — (Plate LXXXI., Fig. 2) — Measures 8 lines in expanse ; fore 

 wings pale, sometimes dark gray-brown towards the base, with a large triangular dusky red spot, broadest 

 towards the costa, where it bears an oblique oblong gray spot, and a small one at the apex ; hind wings 

 ochraceous, spotted with brown, darkest at the base. Taken near Lanark, by H, "Walker, Esq, 

 ' Symonyme, — Amphisa Walkerana, Curtis, Brit, Ent,, pi, 209; Wood, fig, 877, 



P^DISCA, Treitschke, DITULA, Stephens, 

 The antennae are setaceous, clothed beneath with scales ; the spiral tongue short : the palpi porrected and 

 bent upwards ; the fore wings slightly deflexed whilst at rest ; the costa arched, and the apical margin rounded, 

 the disc marked with oblique bars or lines, the thorax with a bifid crest behind ; the first three species are 

 arranged by Curtis with the Lozotoenise, to which they are certainly much nearer allied than the remainder of 

 the genus. 



Species 1. — Pcedisca rotundana °° — (Plate LXXXI,, Fig, 3) — Measures about | an inch in expanse ; n o n 



fore wings obtusely rounded, smoky-brown, with a rusty-brown mark at the base ; an oblique central fascia also 



brown, and beyond this an oblique, posterior, abbreviated, undulated fascia : hind wings black. Widely 



dispersed ; but not common. 



" Synontmes — Torlrix rotundana, Haworth; Stephens; Wood, fig. 878.
