A New Tortricid. 



BY C. H. FERNALD, ORONO, MAINE. 



Eccopsis footiana, Robs. Mss. 



Palpi pale yellow; second joint with the terminal hairs touched 

 with reddish-brown, and with two dark brown spots on the upper 

 part of the outside, one near the base, the other towards the end; 

 last joint small, dark brown; head and thorax above, rust-red, with 

 some transverse dark brown marks on the thorax and patagia?; fore 

 wings light reddish-brown, with a faint metallic luster under the lens, 

 and minute, irregular cross streaks; basal part of costa to central 

 band, pale, reddish-yellow, with about eight very small dark brown 

 spots on the costal edge; basal patch, concolorous with the thorax, 

 beginning on the subcostal vein extends across the wing, the outer 

 edge running obliquely to the fold, then inward to a point near the 

 humeral angle on which is a small tuft of rust-red scales like the 

 prominent thoracic tuft. The outer edge of the basal patch forms 

 very nearly a right angle at the fold. 



The central band extends from the middle of the costa obliquely 

 across the wing to a point- a little beyond the middle of the hinder 

 margin, where it is much narrower than on the costa. The inner 

 side of this band is comparatively straight, while the outer side has 

 three outward prolongations, one on vein eight, the second and 

 longest on vein six, and the third, much shorter and very obtuse on 

 the fold. This band above the fold is concolorous with the basal 

 patch, and marked with dark brown, while below it is much lighter 

 and scarcely differing from the ground color of the wing. The costa 

 beyond the central band is reddish-brown, cut by five geminate, 

 light yellow streaks. The subapical band extends from the second 

 interspace between the yellow streaks beyond the central band on 

 the costa, as a narrow stripe down to vein eight where it suddenly 

 widens and extends to the middle of the outer margin. The broad 

 part of this band is concolorous with the basal patch. From the 

 upper part of this band a faint streak extends across the wing to the
