times faintly or finely grey ; cilia whitish. 
Kashmir, Killanmarg, 10,500 feet, July, August ( T . B. Fletcher) ; 
3 ex., one bred from a larva found spinning up unopened flowerbuds 
of an unknown plant. Allied to griseicoma ; also closely resembling 
in character and probably truly related to the North American 
clemensana Fern., from which it differs by more pointed apex and 
oblique termen of forewings, and less white hindwings.

Kashmir, Killanmarg, 10,500 feet, July ( T . B. Fletcher ); 2 ex. 
An obscure insect, but distinct. 
Tortrix^caryocryptis, n. sp. 
<5 . 15 mm. Head, palpi, thorax fuscous. Antenme pubescent.

subapical and small tornal blotches of dark fuscous suffusion: cilia

Perhaps allied to preceding. 
Tortrix translucida Meyr. 
Kashmir, Gulmarg, 8800 feet, June ( T. B. Fletcher). Mr. Fletcher 
writes “ Very common in June, males fly round tips of Abies pindra 
branches on sunny mornings, from about 11 a.m., looking white on 
the wing, as only the white patch of hindwings shows up ; females 
mostly beaten from branches of Abies , to which the species 
is evidently attached; only one example seen from Killanmarg, 
10,500 feet, which is almost above the limits of Abies. The female 
(not previously known) has forewings lighter-coloured than in 3 , 
suffused brownish-ochreous towards base, hindwings wholly grey, 
darker posteriorly ; seldom also the white area of hindwings in 3 
is suffused lighter grey.
