Species 6. — Cochylis vectisana — (Plate C, Fig. 15) — Measures nearly 5 lines in expanse ; fore wings, 

 head and thorax of a pale fulvous buff-colour ; the former with a satiny gloss, with an oblique, moderately broad 

 and rather curved fascia ; of a rather more decided fulvous colour across the middle, and with the apical part of 

 the wing rather rudely reticulated with the same darker colour, as is also the tip of the wing ; hind wings grey

 in the Isle of Wight, flying over the grass, in the evening of the 5th August, 1843, by S. Stevens, Esq,, who has 

 favoured us with the species for illustration in this work.

 The palpi are rather long, subclavate ; densely squamose, with the terminal joint nearly concealed, the 

 antennas are but slightly pubescent in the males ; the head is densely inflated on the crown ; the thorax is not 

 crested ; the fore wings have the apical margin very obliquely truncate, the costa straight, and the disc pale- 

 coloured, generally straw-coloured or yellow, with indistinct, oblique, darker markings. 



Species 1. — Lozopeea alternana= — (Plate CI., Fig 1) — Measures from 10 to 13 lines in expanse; fore 

 wings ochreous or pale buff, with darker and lighter glossy patches ; about the middle of the wing is an 

 abbreviated, oblique, blackish striga, followed by a second near the apex, but fainter; the apical margin 

 reticulated with rusty brown, the costa dotted with brown ; hind wings brownish or pale-ashy. Taken about 

 the end of July in grassy plains on the heights near Dover.
