uavy linos, some slightly raisod ; with a slender raised tawny-fuscous line from about 

 tlie miikllo of the costa, bulged outward^ and i-nnning to the dorsal margin before the anal 

 angle ; another from the costa before the apex to the anal angle^ nearly parallel to the apical 

 margin, and a very slender similar line along the apical margin itself. Hind wings with a 

 rufous tinge, very faintly mottled ; cilia paler. Underside of fore wings reddish ochreous.

"With a specimen from San Domingo and another from Ega are two specimens labelled 

 " United States, Donbleday." A marginal note in the British Museum register, by Mr. E. 

 Doubleday, states that the collection presented by him was made by himself in the United 

 States in 1837-1838, '' with a few additions from other sources,^'' — I presume, North-American 

 sources. In any case there seems to be no sufficient reason for doubting that two specimens 

 of the species above described are from North America. 



The species is most nearly allied to " Tortrix " laterana, Rob. ; but whereas in Robinson's 

 species the "central fascia is distinctly limited " and "filled in with blackish above and 

 deep ferruginous below the middle," Walker's rostrana has the raised margins of the central 

 fascia interrupted, and the interjacent space scarcely perceptibly darker than the ground- 

 colour of the wing j moreover the general arrangement of the lines is not the same in both 

 species, so far as I am able to judge from specimens in my own collection. Walker's descrip- 

 tions of his three species — rostrana, restitutana, and connexana — will be found to be, almost 

 word for word, the same, the only noticeable diflPerence being in the palpi. 



rostrana. " Third joint nearly half the length of the second." 



restitutana. " Third joint not more than one third the length of the second." 



connexana. "Third joint not more than one fourth the length of the second." 



I have been unable to perceive these differences in his type specimens, which appear to belong 

 without doubt to one and the same species.

Palpi short, thickened in the middle, projecting nearly the length of the head beyond it; 

 together with the head brownish ochreous : antennae with the basal joint thickened, paler. 

 Fore wings — with the costa rounded towards the base, deeply impressed beyond the middle ; 

 the apex produced, subfalcate ; the apical margin concave below the apex — shining pale reddish 

 straw-colour, thickly covered with minute detached transverse streaks of slightly raised black 

 and chestnut-brown scales : three subobsolete, abbreviated, oblique chestnut-brown fasciae 

 are faintly indicated — the first very indistinct near the base; the second from the middle of 

 the costa ; and the third beyond it, followed by four minute very oblique black streaklets in 

 the depressed portion of the costa : cilia at the apex chestnut-brown, below it paler. H[ind 

 wings very pale straw-colour, tinged with reddish towards the apical margin. Underside of
