Sp. 8. Lozot\enia Roborana, Steph. 1. c. 77. 



Tortrix Roborana, Hubner, PI. xx., fig. 126, male. T. Cratagana, 



Hubner, PL xvii. fig. 107, female. T. Branderiana, Haworth, 424. 



Measures 9 lines to 1 inch. Anterior wings cinereous, tinged with 

 testaceous, and having a distinct brown spot on the inner margin, 

 near the base, and a large irregular patch of the same colour in the 

 centre of the wing, extending to the inner margin, but remote from 

 the costa ; on the costa near the apex is a third patch, from which a 

 narrow streak arises, and terminates near the middle of the posterior 

 margin ; posterior wings fuscous. The foregoing description is taken 

 from a male. The wings of the female are caudate, producing a 

 hook at the apex ; the spots on the wings are similar to those of the 

 male, except the patch in the centre of the wing, which is found in 

 some examples extending to the costa, and forming an oblique fascia : 

 posterior wings fuscous, with the apex luteous. Hubner has figured 

 a variety of this species, under the name of Tortrix Crataegana, and 

 Haworth has described another under that of T. Branderiana ; the 

 latter is a light variety, with obscure markings : I have a fine inter- 

 mediate variety before me which belongs to the rich collection of 

 Mr. Henry Doubleday, of Epping ; its anterior wings are testaceous, 

 with a small spot on the inner margin near the base ; there is an ob- 

 lique fascia of rich brown in the middle much dilated towards the 

 anal angle, and a patch of the same colour at the apex extending 

 obliquely from the costa to the middle of the posterior margin. 



This is, evidently, a rare species. I have taken it at Darenth in 

 July ; also, at Brockenhurst, in Hampshire. 



Sp. 9. Lozot^enia Xylosteana, Steph. 1. c. 76. 

 Phalana Tortrix Xylosteana, Linn. Faun. Suec. 1313. Tortrix Xy- 

 losteana, Haworth, 428. T. Xylosteana, Fischer, PI. xlv. T. 

 Character ana, Hubner, PI. xx. fig. 125. 



Measures 7 to 11 lines. Varies much in size and in the intensity 

 of its markings. Anterior wings usually testaceous and glossy, with 

 a brown spot on the inner margin near the base, extending towards 

 the middle of the wing ; an oblique fascia extending from the mid- 

 dle of the costa to the anal angle, and a spot on the costa near 

 the apex. In some examples this spot is united to the medial 

 fascia, leaving near the middle of the costa a distinct testaceous spot : 

 posterior wings fuscous : the cilia in the male are usually tinged with 

 yellow. 



Common in woods and lanes in July.
