LOZOTiENIA. 13 



Lozotsenia retana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 4.) 



Palpi very short, scarcely projecting beyond the head ; apical joint slender, exposed, 

 together with the liead and antennae yellowish ochreous : thorax yellowish, inclining to 

 reddish ochreous, with some pale yellow appressed scales posteriorly ; a tuft of long whitish 

 hairs on each side at the base of the abdomen. Fore wings — with the costa slightly arched 

 (without a costal fold in the male) ; apex rounded ; apical margin convex — pale golden yellow, 

 with an irregularly margined basal patch widely reticulated with ferruginous lines, its outer 

 half tinged with pinkish ochreous, and an oblique pinkish ochreous central fascia, interrupted 

 above the middle and narrowly margined with ferruginous, irregulai'ly connected with a dorsal 

 spot of the same colour between them ; beyond these is another irregular fascia of the same 

 colour, margined with ferruginous, curved downwards towards the anal angle, and not reaching 

 the apical margin ; some ferruginous spots or streaks crossing the apex, the whole having a 

 widely reticulated appearance. Hind wings and cilia yellowish white. 2 cJ , 1 ? . Expanse 

 of wings 18 millims. 



Texas. 



Allied to " Tortrix" houstonana, Grote (Bull. Buff. Soc. i. p. 15, pi. i. fig. 5), of which 

 it may prove to be a variety, although it differs from Grote's figure in the absence of the 

 central shade along the cell and in the presence of a more decided fascia. 



Lozotaenia franciscana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 5.) 



Antennae pubescent, annulated with white and pale brownish fuscous : head, thorax, 

 palpi, and fore wings whitish, the latter more or less irrorated or suffused with pale brownish 

 fuscous, with an ill-defined and indistinct patch at the base of the wing ; an oblique fascia from 

 before the middle of the costa to within the anal angle, a triangular spot at the costa beyond 

 the middle, and a slight shade along the apical margin ; all minutely irrorated with brownish- 

 fuscous scales disposed in slender lines. Hind wings very pale brownish fuscous ; the cilia 

 whitish. Some specimens are much darker than others, the spaces between the dark markings 

 being more suffused with subfuscous scales. 2 ^ . Expanse of wings 15 millims.

Taken amongst plants of wild Lupin on the sand hills. 



Lozotaenia glaucana. (Plate LXIII. tig. 6.) 



Head, thorax, antennae, and palpi brownish grey ; the palpi with the second joint thickly 

 clothed with greyish scales, somewhat projecting above the base of the short apical joint. Fore 

 wings — with the costa arched before the middle and slightly indented before the apex ; the 

 apical margin oblique — shining pale brownish grey, sometimes minutely speckled transversely 

 with brownish fuscous ; a narrow, indistinct, brownish -fuscous fascia before the middle, 

 chiefly visible at the costa, sharply angulated internally below the middle of the wing ; a long
