PHAL^NA INTERROGATIONANA. 



Lepidoptera, 



GENERIC CHARACTER, 



Antennae taper from the bafe. Wings in general contra&ed when 

 at reft. Fly by night. 



TORTRIX, 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Superior wings dark red-brown with an undulated line refembling; 

 the note of .interrogation on each. Inferior wings and body pale 

 brown. 



Is very rare, and has only been hitherto taken in the wilds of Kent, 

 and fome other diftant parts of the country j our fpecimen was taken 

 in Auguft. 



An infecl fo fingularly marked, cannot readily be confounded with 

 any other fpecies, as we do not poffefs one which bears much refem- 

 blance to it; the moft-ftriking particular for a fpecific diftinaion are 

 the two waved lines of white on the fuperior wings^ which being con- 

 trailed with the brown colour, gives it a very unufual appearance, 



It is an undefcribed infeft, and we have called it Phalsna Interroga- 

 tion^ as the white undulated mark, if viewed fideways, referable* a 



note of interrogation.
