AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS. 135 



Species 1. — Eoxana arcuana'' — (Plate LXXXVI., Fig. 1) — Measures 7 or 8 lines in expanse; fore 

 wines fulvous, irrorated with brown scales ; the costa near the base with a silvery patch ; a silvery transverse 

 striga before the middle of the wing ; the space between the middle and the anal angle occupied by a pale buff 

 dash, and a black patch crowded with silvery scales, which is followed by two other silvery more oblique strigas, 

 the innermost of which is interrupted in the middle : hind wings dark brown. Taken in woods, at the end of 

 June.

CARPOCAPSA, Treitschke. SEMASIA, Stephens, (olim.) 

 The palpi are clothed with short scales, not forming a clavate mass, and with the apical joint exposed ; the 

 antennsB are short and setaceous ; the head is densely clothed with short scales ; the fore wings are slightly 

 convoluted in repose ; they are oblong, with the apical margin with a faint emargination towards the costa ; the 

 disc beyond the middle generally marked with a metallic patch, inclosing several black transverse dashes. 



Species 1. — Carpocapsa pomonella' — (Plate LXXXYI., Figs. 2, 3) — Measures from 8 to 10 lines in 

 expanse ; fore wings ashy-brown, the base darker, and with numerous dusky strigas ; the costa marked with 

 dark lineolffi, and the anal angle with a large golden-red subocellated patch, clouded with darker coppery shades; 

 hind wings dark brown, the base rather paler. The caterpillar feeds within the fruit of the apple, causing it to 

 fall prematurely, and by this means occasioning much damage in apple districts. — See my article on this species 

 in Loudon's Gardeners' Magazine, vol. xiv., p. 234. The perfect insect appears in June and July, and is found 

 in gardens and orchards, but not very abundantly.
