AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS. 179 



Species 5. — Xanthosetia ? Inopiana ^ — (Plate CI., Fig. 15) — Measures 9 lines in expanse ; fore wings 

 glossy buff, with an ochraceous red tinge, and destitute of markings, with a faintly raised spot at the extremity 

 of the discoidal cell ; hind wings glossy, also concolorous ; fringe obscure shining ochreous. Taken in the New 

 Forest, Ripley, &c. I possess Jlr. Haworth's series of this very rare species, which ill associates with the 

 present group, the fore wings being narrower than in the preceding species.

Species 6. — Xanthosetia lutedlana • — (Plate CI., Fig. 16) — Measures 9 lines in expanse ; fore wings 

 luteous brown, and very glossy ; slightly marked beyond the middle with transverse irrorations, and with two 

 very indistinct rather broad fascire, one before and the other a little beyond the middle, each ending in a dark 

 patch on the costa ; close to the apical margin is a slender dark streak; costa at the base marked with dark dots; 

 bind wings brovni and glossy. Described from Mr. Bentley's collection. New Forest, in July.

PHIBALOCERA, Stephens. 

 This genus differs from all the preceding genera of the present family in having very long and slender 

 antennae ; the palpi are also very long and recurved, with the last joint half as long as the preceding, the head 

 slightly tufted in front, and the fore wings sub-triangular-ovate, with the apical margin truncated. 



Species 1. — Phibaloceka Quercana " — (Plate CI., Fig. 17) — A^iries from 7 to 9 lines in expanse ; fore 



wings orange-yellow or rich buff, sometimes very finely irrorated with purplish brown, with a small oblique dark 



streak near the base, and two small dark dots placed on a central yellow dash, the costa at the base, and a large 



patch in its middle, of bright yellow ; fringe yellow ; hind wings nearly white. Common in August.

Tortrix Fagana, Hiibner. 



HYPERCALLIA, Stephens. 

 The antennae in this genus are of moderate length, but the palpi are greatly elongated and bent outwards 

 and upwards, the terminal joint being half the length of the preceding, and perpendicular ; the antennae are 

 pubescent beneath in the males ; the head is tufted in front, the fore wings elongate triangular, of pale yellow, 

 with rich scarlet markings. This and the preceding genus appear to form the passage from the Tortricidfe to 

 the next family, possessing the general form of the former, but having the long recurved palpi of the following. 



Species 1. — Htpercallia Christiernana" — (Plate CI., Fig. 18.) — Measures from 7 to 9 lines in 



expanse ; fore wings yellow, with five strigaj arising from the costa, of bright crimson, the one towards the 



base being angulated outwards in the middle, the three following more or less abbreviated, and connected 



together by an irregular transverse streak : hind wings brownish or whitish. Very rare. Taken by Mr. 



Stephens, at Darenth Wood, in July.
