CACCECIA. 
9 
Type ? (fi^. 5) : Georgia, from Mr. Milne's collection. Var. S (fig- 6) : May 19, 1871, 
near San Francisco. 
I slioukl have been inclined to follow Prof. Zeller in placing this species in the genus 
Lozot(ema, on account of the apex not being produced as in most species of Cacacia ; but it 
cannot be said to have only a weak costal fold, " sehr schwachem Umschlage und zuriick- 
gestrichener Behaarung an demselben," which is considered by Heinemann (p. 31) to be 
characteristic of Lozotainia, the fold in this species being very decided. 
Tlie species also occurred about Mendocino in the middle of June, and as far north as 
Mount Shasta in August. One specimen emej'ged on the 21st of June from a pupa found a 
few days previously between united leaves of ^sra/ws calif ornica (Nutt.), the Calif ornian 
horse-chestnut. 
It is widely distributed — Missouri^ Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas being 
given as localities for it by Zeller and E-obinson. 
There are now five males and one female in the collection, besides the two named above.

Tortrix georgiana, Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. pi. i. fig. 4, vol. i. p. 15. 
Palpi projecting nearly the length of the head beyond it, together with the head reddish 
ochreous, the short apical joint exposed : antennas dull reddish oclireous, pubescent in the 
male. Fore wings — with appressed costal fold at the base in the male ; the costa rounded 
towards the base; apex rounded; apical margin convex — bright reddish chestnut, with 
shining pinkish ochreous bands and mottlir.gs ; a wide basal patch, its external margin out- 
wardly angulated at the middle, consists of three parallel shining pinkish ochreous fascise 
widening in equal gradations from the base ; a rather narrow oblique fascia of the same 
colour, from the middle of the costa running to the anal angle is divided about the middle 
into three separate branches, all reaching the dorsal margin, the first only being narrowly 
interrupted below the middle (in some varieties these three branches become detached and 
form separate spots) ; one or more pinkish ochreous streaks cross the apical portion of the 
wing from the costa to the apical margin : cilia pinkish ochreous. Hind wings brown, with 
pale ochreous cilia. Type ? . Expanse of wings 23 millims. 
Georgia. From Mr. Milne's collection. 
In the above description I have departed from the usual custom in taking the darker 
shade to be the ground-colour.

follows : —
