Tue present part of the “Illustrations of Typical Specimens of Lepidoptera Heterocera in the British Museum” deals exclusively with the Tortricide of North America in the National Collection. Many species originally named by the late Mr. Walker are now fully described and figured. But our knowledge of this group has received, besides, an important addition by numerous new species discovered and collected by Lord Walsingham in 1871 and 1872, chiefly in California and Oregon. These are now for the first time described, the types having been presented by him to the Museum. ALBERT GUNTHER, Keeper of the Department of Zoology. British Musewn, November 29, 1879. INTRODUCTION. In describing several new species of Tortricide from North America, and re- describing such of Mr. Walker’s species as had not been anticipated by other authors, and of which the types are now in the British Museum, I have thought it advisable to adopt as far as possible the system of classification laid down by Heinemann in his ‘Schmetterlinge Deutschlands und der Schweiz,’ published in 1865. Many systems of generic subdivision have been suggested for this difficult group; but all appear to have been founded upon a study of European species only. So far as I have been able to judge, none of these various systems are sufficiently perfect and natural to facilitate the arrangement of a cosmopolitan collection. It is very desirable that some comprehensive system should be devised; but for this purpose a very careful study of specimens from all parts of the world is obviously necessary, and it may be long before such a work can be successfully undertaken. Until this has been done, any arrangement of this group of insects must, I think, be considered, in part at least, provisional. In the meanwhile Heinemann’s system, although not infallible when applied to large numbers of species with which he was necessarily unacquainted, seems to afford a wider and sounder basis for generic classification than those of other authors. He attaches much value to differences of neuration; and although vl INTRODUCTION. perhaps (in opposition to the views urged by the late Mons. Peyerimhoff in the ‘Annales de la Société Entomologique de France,’ 1876, p. 577) he depends too much upon the presence or absence of the costal fold for generic division, his critics have not yet produced any system of classification which can be said to supersede that of Heinemann, or to depart from the general guiding principles which he laid down. Many genera which have been perhaps linked together by the discovery of intermediate forms, or which have not presented in themselves sufficiently strong permanent characteristic differences, besides some few, perhaps, which might possibly have remained clearly defined and acknowledged, seem to have been merged by him under more comprehensive generic titles, in which they have sunk to the rank of subgenera. It may be objected to this system that distinctions sufficient to separate the numerous subgenera are really equally sufficient to be of full generic value. Whilst following the method of determination laid down by Heinemann, I have ventured so far to depart from his system of arrangement for the purposes of this volume as to recognize his subgenera as genera, thus avoiding that departure from strict binominal nomenclature which is involved in the practice of writing names in such a form as “ Tortrix (Cacecia) rosaceana, Harris;” and had I been following it less faithfully I should have been much disposed to break up the large genus Pedisca into at least three separate divisions, which could, I think, be clearly defined. Heinemann uses Grapholitha, H.-S., as one of the subgenera of Grapholitha, Tr. Since Heinemann’s limitation of the subgenus is not exactly coextensive with Herrich-Schiaffer’s limitation of the genus, I have preferred to speak of Grapho- litha (H.-S.), Hein., as expressing that Heinemann’s subgenus is adopted as distin- guished from the larger and more comprehensive genus of ‘Treitsche. An additional reason for adopting Heinemann’s method seems to be presented by the fact that Prof. C. H. Fernald, of Maine State College (who is, I believe, about to publish a complete list of the North-American Tortricide), has been guided in his investigations by the rules laid down by Heinemann; and as the present volume treats exclusively of North-American species, it will be found convenient that their classification corresponds, as far as possible, with that which has been adopted in compiling such a national catalogue. INTRODUCTION. vil I must express my grateful acknowledgments to those gentlemen who have assisted me in acquiring the necessary information for this volume—to H. T. Stainton, Esq., to Mr. C. G. Barrett, and others in this country, to Prof. P. C. Zeller, of Stettin, and especially to Prof. Fernald, of Maine State College, and to My. Cresson and others of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia, for enabling me to become acquainted with many of the species described by American, as well as Kuropean, authors whose types I have had no opportunity of examining. I hope that all adequate precaution has been taken against mere additions to synonymy, which in this group of insects is already so extensive ; but I can scarcely expect to have entirely avoided the error of redescription in a family of Lepidoptera peculiarly difficult to render recognizable even by coloured figures, and equally difficult to recognize from mere descriptions. Many Californian species approach very closely to well-known European forms, but seem to have some constant, although slight, distinguishing peculiarities. I have not knowingly ventured to describe any such as new, except where I have been able carefully to compare a considerable series of specimens, as in the case of Penthina vetulana, Penthina consanguinana, Pedisca hirsutana, Pedisca illotana, Rhyacionia juncticiliana, and others. I have in all cases stated the number of specimens now in the British Museum collection only, without reference to those available for comparison in my own collection. To facilitate the study of the North-American TZortricide represented in the collection of the British Museum, I have given after each’ genus a list of such of Mr. Walker’s species as were placed in that genus by him, but which, for various reasons, have not now retained this position in the catalogue of types. In these lists reference is made to such synonyms only as are entitled to take precedence of the names given by Mr. Walker. For these lam indebted partly to Messrs. Grote and Robinson (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 1868, ii. pp. 83, 84), partly to information received from Prof. Fernald, whose observations on Walker’s types will probably appear before this volume is printed, and partly to my own observation and comparison of Walker’s specimens, by which means I have in all cases carefully verified the synonymy. I have ventured to add a list of all the European species which up to the present time have been observed in North America, together with such as I Vili INTRODUCTION. have myself met with or recognized, and which have not before been recorded as occurring in that country. Mr. Edwin Wilson has exercised great care and patience in faithfully render- ing the form and markings of the various specimens. In the case of some of Mr. Walker's types, which are in extremely poor condition, this has been a difficult task; but the measure of success with which it has been accomplished will, I trust, be the means of preserving a reliable record of this portion of Mr. Walker’s work.

Fore wings— with the costa considerably arched towards the base, emarginate beyond the middle, the apex not produced—white, with a few tufts of raised white scales before the middle and some few pale ferruginous spots and streaklets beyond the middle; a conspicuous triangular ferru- ginous costal patch, in which the white ground-colour is more or less visible on its upper edge internally, contains some minute dots of raised black scales; the apical margin and anal angle are clouded and spotted with pale ferruginous ; and there are one or two minute streaks or spots of the same colour near the base of the costa: cilia dusky grey, tinged with ferruginous. Hind wings cinereous grey, with a slender pale ochreous line at the base of the cilia. Type ¢. Expanse of wings 16 millims. Nova Scotia. From Lieut. Redman’s collection. Robinson gives Pennsylvania as its locality. Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 211) points out that Teras deflectana, Rob., is nearly allied to the European Teras boscana. The same differences which he notices are to be B 2 TORTRICID. found in Walker’s type of subnivana, especially the brown (not black) colouring of the costal patch, and the grey (not pure white) cilia of the fore wings, as well as its smaller size. I took a specimen at Washington in May 1871; and I have seen another specimen from North America, both of which approach the European form more closely in these particu- lars. It may eventually be found that the true boscana also occurs there. Teras nivisellana. (Plate LXI. fig. 3.) Head, palpi, and antenne dark ferruginous brown; thorax white. Fore wings white, with numerous tufts of raised scales ; a triangular brownish patch rather beyond the middle of the costa, containing towards its apical angle a bluish-purple shade, internally margined with black ; an ochreous shade runs through the costal patch and is diffused over the wing towards the anal angle, containing one or more spots of raised scales of the same colour and extending towards some rich ferruginous-brown streaks near the apical margin and apex; there is a conspicuous tuft of raised ferruginous-brown scales near the basal third of the dorsal margin, with a small black dot on the fold immediately above it : underside pale reddish brown, the costa touched with white: cilia reddish brown. Hind wings pale reddish fuscous. 2 ?. Expanse of wings 16 millims. Mount Shasta, California, August 1871, at an elevation of about 5000 feet. The species was also met with in May of the following year near Rouge River, in Oregon. This is evidently the North-American representative of the common European T. varie- gana, Schiff.; but it differs from all varieties I have seen of that insect in the costal trian- gular spot being distinctly divided from the apical shade, as well as in the form of the apical shade itself, which in the species above described occupies a wider space on the dorsal than on the costal margin. I should hesitate to consider it a mere variety unless some intermediate forms should yet be found. Teras simpliciana. (Plate LXI. fig. 4.) Antenne fuscous; head, palpi, and thorax white. Fore wings white with a slight yellowish tinge, with some streaks of dusky scales towards the apex: a purplish-black sub- obtuse triangular patch at the costa slightly beyond the middle, reaching over the upper edge of the cell; in this patch are a few slightly raised darker scales: a minute black spot lies in the basal third of the wing below the fold, and sometimes another smaller one on the cell above it, rather nearer the base. Hind wings tinged with brownish grey; cilia paler. 2 ?. Expanse of wings 14 millims. Camp Watson, on John Day’s River, Oregon, March 1872. Allied to Peronea gallicolana, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. iii. p. 516, which is figured by Robinson, Proc. Am. Ent. Soe. ii. pl. vii. fig. 72, but much smaller and paler, not having the strong brownish-grey colour peculiar to that species. TERAS. 3 Teras foliana. (Plate LXI. figs. 5 & 6.) Head and palpi ochreous, the latter projecting not more than the length of the head beyond it, second joint thickly clothed with ochreous scales which partly conceal the short apical joint ; antenne brownish ochreous, slightly pubescent in the male; thorax brownish ochreous in front, pale straw-colour behind, where there is a raised tuft of scales of the same colour. Fore wings—with the costa arched; apex produced, almost falcate; dorsal margin nearly straight—pale straw-colour, more or less suffused or reticulated with ochreous brown ; a very pale yellowish triangle is preceded by a pale oblique chestnut-brown shade from the middle of the costa, which in some specimens is carried round more faintly on its outer edge ; a narrow pale chestnut-brown line runs along the apical margin; and in some specimens (as in fig. 6) the whole surface of the wings is strongly reticulated with the same colour: cilia at the anal angle straw-coloured, along the apical margin paler: underside glossy pale reddish straw-colour, the costal triangle sometimes indicated in pale staw-colour. Hind wings pale straw-colour, with a faint rosy tinge; cilia and legs lighter. Expanse of wings 19-21 millims. Southern extremity of Lower Lake, Lake County, California, June 23rd, 1871. This species is nearly allied to Teras contaminana, No. 683 of Staudinger and Wocke’s Catalogue, placed by Wilkinson in the genus Dictyopteryx of Stephens, which genus is apparently merged in Teras, Tr., by Heinemann. The types figured are both males. There are six males and one female in the Museum collection. Teras pulverosana. (Plate LXI. fig. 7.) Teras pulverosana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxvii. p. 291. Sciaphila implexana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 338. Palpi projecting about the length of the head beyond it, thickened in the middle; the apical joint short, depressed. Fore wings—with the costa rather abruptly arched near the base, straighter beyond; the apical margin oblique, slightly impressed below the apex— purplish cinereous, slightly irrorated with fuscous; paler beneath, with two oblique angulated lines of slightly raised fuscous scales, the first before the middle forming the inner edge of an indistinct purplish-fuscous fascia; the second beyond the middle reaching the apical margin above the anal angle and enclosing the apical portion of the wing, which is indistinctly streaked and mottled with purplish fuscous. Hind wings paler, with a faint purplish tinge, indistinctly speckled transversely towards the costal margin. Type ?. Expanse of wings 19 millims. St. Martin’s Falls, Albany River. Presented by Dr. Barnston. I have thought it desirable to figure this specimen, which, although nearly allied to the common Teras hastiana, Linn., and not in good condition, is probably the type of a smaller and distinct species, having perhaps also a wide range of variation. It is apparently darker than any of the specimens figured by Robinson in plate vii. of the ‘ Transactions of the B2 + TORTRICIDZA. American Entomological Society ;’ but I have specimens from California which nearly ap- proach it. Some of these are now in the Museum collection. The other supposed North-American specimens placed by Walker in the genus Teras are as follows :—— Teras rostrana, Walk.: see Platynota rostrana, p. 5. vicariana, Walk., = Lozotenia rosaceana, Harris. albaniana, Walk.: see Pandemis albaniana, p. 11. obsoletana, Walk. : see Lozotenia obsoletana, p. 11. —— retractana, Walk.: the type of this species is labelled “ Australia.” — subauratana, Walk., = “ Crasia?” reticulatana, Clem. —— tinctana, Walk., = Platynota flavedana, Clem. —— wanthoides, Walk. : see Cenopis? xanthoides, p. 20. hudsoniana, Walk., = Teras hastiana, Linn. ? —— directana, Walk.: see Cenopis directana, p. 17. caliginosana, Walk., = Teras hastiana, Linn. HENDECASTEMA*. Caput vestitum. Palpi capite bis longiores utrinque a medio fastigati. Antenne & utrinque pectinate. Ale antice latitudine plus quam bis longiores ; costé precipue apud basin arcuatd, apice vix producto: 3 venis undecim singulis, vend septimd apud costam ante apicem finitd; 9% vend septimd furcatd, apice furcam interjacente. Head thickly clothed above and in front. Palpi twice as long as the head, thickened in the middle, the apical joint slightly depressed, tapering. Antenne pectinated on both sides in the male. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide, without a costal fold; costa arched abruptly at the base; apex scarcely produced ; apical margin not oblique, slightly concave below the apex : veins of the fore wings in the male eleven, branch 7 ending in the costal margin. The female slightly larger than the male and almost without ornamentation ; branch 7 of the fore wings forked before the apex, which lies between its two branches. This genus is separated from Lozotenia, H.-S., Heterognomon, Ld., &c. by the pectinated antenne and by the number of veins in the fore wings of the male; differing in this latter character, as well as in the form of the wings themselves, from Amphisa, Curt., Dichelia, Gn., &c., in which genera veins 7 and 8 arise from a common pedicle in both sexes. Type Hendecastema cuneanum. Hendecastema cuneanum. (Plate LXI. figs. 8-10.) Head clothed with chestnut-brown scales above and in front: palpi chestnut-brown, the middle joint enlarged towards the end; the apical joint slightly depressed, tapering to a blunt point: antenne dull straw-colour, strongly pectinated in the male on both sides: thorax and abdomen pale straw-colour, with a tuft of long hairs on each side behind the base * érdexa, eleven ; orypa, Vein. qn HENDECASTEMA.—PLATYNOTA. of the hind wings. Fore wings pale straw-colour ; the costa arched somewhat abruptly at the base, where there is a strong chestnut-brown shade: a wedge-shaped spot of a similar colour points outwards from the costa before the middle towards the anal angle ; a narrow chestnut- brown shade extends vertically downwards from the apex haltway along the apical margin, the wing thence being rounded off obliquely to the dorsal margin: cilia very pale straw- colour. Hind wings yellowish white, with a chestnut-brown shade at the apex. Legs pale straw-colour; the first pair of tarsi chestnut-brown above. The female slightly larger than the male; fore wings unicolorous ochreous chestuut, hind wings yellowish white: antennze simple. 3 ¢,19. Expanse of wings g 30 millims., ? 33 millims. Var. adumbranum. In this var. ¢ the chestnut-coloured wedge-shaped mark on the costa is much occupied by dark fuscous scales, and it blends into a chestnut shade, which is continued along the costa to the apex, and downward through the wing to the dorsal margin beyond the middle, forming a sort of large irregular triangle, from the inner edge of which a slight projection extends towards the base of the wing along the fold. There is an oblique line of faint fuscous scales halfway between the costal wedge-shaped mark and the apex, reaching downwards towards the anal angle. The space between the thorax and the middle shade is of a more ochreous tint than the space beyond it above the anal angle, which is very pale straw-colour. The female has the fore wings darker than in the typical form, but nearly unicolorous ; a paler oblique fascia, scarcely perceptible beyond the middle; the space above the anal angle also pale. 19,19. Expanse of wings ¢ 30 millims., ¢ 33 millims. Both varieties of this species occur in the month of August, on the western slopes of Mount Shasta, California, at an elevation of about 6000 feet, among thickets of ‘‘ Man- zanita,” Arctostaphylos glauca (Lindl.), on which I have little doubt the larva feeds. Ina considerable series I have met with no varieties intermediate between the two forms above described ; but it would be at least premature to consider them distinct species. PLATYNOTA, Clem.

Palpi very long, projecting fully three times the length of the head beyond it; the second joint nearly three times as long as the apical joint, slightly enlarged towards its base, tapering forward: antenne simple. Fore wings—with the costa abruptly arched near the base, straight beyond, the apex not rounded; apical margin straight, not oblique—tawny fawn-colour, the whole surface streaked with very minute detached streaks of tawny-fuscous scales in broken 6 TORTRICIDA. wavy lines, some slightly raised; with a slender raised tawny-fuscous line from about the middle of the costa, bulged outward, and running to the dorsal margin before the anal angle ; another from the costa before the apex to the anal angle, nearly parallel to the apical margin, and a very slender similar line along the apical margin itself. Hind wings with a rufous tinge, very faintly mottled; cilia paler. Underside of fore wings reddish ochreous. Type ¢@. Expanse of wings 20 millims. With a specimen from San Domingo and another from Ega are two specimens labelled “United States, Doubleday.” A marginal note in the British Museum register, by Mr. E. Doubleday, states that the collection presented by him was made by himself in the United States in 1837-1838, “ with a few additions from other sources,”—I presume, North-American sources. In any case there seems to be no sufficient reason for doubting that two specimens of the species above described are from North America. The species is most nearly allied to “ Tortrix”’ laterana, Rob. ; but whereas in Robinson’s species the ‘central fascia is distinctly limited’? and “filled in with blackish above and deep ferruginous below the middle,” Walker’s rostrana has the raised margins of the central fascia interrupted, and the interjacent space scarcely perceptibly darker than the ground- colour of the wing; moreover the general arrangement of the lines is not the same in both species, so far as I am able to judge from specimens in my own collection. Walker’s descrip- tions of his three species—rostrana, restitutana, and connexana—will be found to be, almost word for word, the same, the only noticeable difference being in the palpi. rostrana. ‘Third joint nearly half the length of the second.” restitutana. ‘Third joint not more than one third the length of the second.” connexana, “Third joint not more than one fourth the length of the second.” I have been unable to perceive these differences in his type specimens, which appear to belong without doubt to one and the same species. CACHCIA, Hib. Cacecia patulana, (Plate LXI. fig. 1.) Tortrix patulana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 325. Palpi short, thickened in the middle, projecting nearly the length of the head beyond it; together with the head brownish ochreous: antenne with the basal joint thickened, paler.- Fore wings—with the costa rounded towards the base, deeply impressed beyond the middle ; the apex produced, subfalcate ; the apical margin concave below the apex—shining pale reddish straw-colour, thickly covered with minute detached transverse streaks of slightly raised black and chestnut-brown scales: three subobsolete, abbreviated, oblique chestnut-brown fascize are faintly indicated—the first very indistinct near the base; the second from the middle of the costa ; and the third beyond it, followed by four minute very oblique black streaklets in the depressed portion of the costa: cilia at the apex chestnut-brown, below it paler. Hind wings very pale straw-colour, tinged with reddish towards the apical margin. Underside of CACGICIA. ~I the fore wings reddish straw-colour, of the hind wings paler; both with scattered black streaklets along the costal margin. Type ?. LExpanse of wings 39 millims.

Tortrix (Lozotenia) flaccidana, Zell. Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 219. Fore wings—fully twice as long as wide, with the costa arched at the base, concave beyond the middle, with a well-developed appressed costal fold in the male ; apex produced ; apical margin scarcely indented below the apex—reddish chestnut, with shining whitish ochreous spots and markings containing some silvery scales: an irregular whitish ochreous oblique fascia, angulated at its outer edge below the middle, forms the external margin of a rather mottled basal patch ; beyond it, about the middle of the costa, is a triangular whitish ochreous spot, followed by two irregular spots of the same colour tending towards the anal angle, giving the appearance of an oblique fascia broken up into three parts, the middle part preceded by a spot of fuscous scales at the end of the cell: beyond the median costal spot are four smaller spots, also on the costa, the third from the apex being the most conspicuous : cilia pale whitish ochreous. Thorax and abdomen whitish ochreous. Hind wings pale reddish chestnut. The anal appendages large and hirsute. Type g. LExpanse of wings 20 millims. The locality of Walker’s type is not known; but it agrees precisely with Robinson’s figure, who gives Texas as the habitat of the species. JI have several specimens from Texas in my own cabinet (some now added to the national coliection), which, although exhibiting some variation from the original type, are probably correctly referred to this species. The very decided costal fold in the male seems to separate this species from the genus Lozotenia according to Heimemann’s limitation, to which reference is made in the remarks which follow the description of Cacecia argyrospila. - I have thought it desirable to figure a variety of this species received from Canada, which approaches somewhat nearly to the Texan varieties mentioned above, but is perhaps even more deprived of the typical markings. In this specimen, a male, the palpi (which are missing in the type) are slender, not profusely clothed, having the apical joint exposed; the antennz strongly pubescent. The fore wings pale yellowish fawn-colour, shaded with brown towards the costa and with scattered fuscous scales towards the apical margin; four very pale yellowish-fawn spots on the costa, the first rather triangular scarcely beyond the middle, the last two towards the apex containing some silvery scales posteriorly ; a spot of fuscous scales at the end of the cell is followed by a pale shining dash. The fascizeform arrangement of the pale markings in the type is completely lost in this variety. The dorsal margin is touched 8 TORTRICIDZ. with fuscous immediately before the anal angle; cilia shining ochreous grey. Hind wings pale brownish ochreous, with slightly paler cilia.

Palpi short, reddish ochreous, the apical joint obtuse. Head, antenne, and fore wings reddish ochreous; the latter with minute transverse irregular reddish-brown streaks, the most conspicuous of these forming the inner margin of an oblique subobsolete central fascia, which contains some purplish-fuscous scales towards the costa and below the middle, and reaches the dorsal margin before the anal angle. Beyond the middle of the costa is a spot also containing a shade of purplish fuscous, and indicating a subobsolete abbreviated fascia pointing towards the apical margin above the anal angle; there is also a subobsolete outwardly oblique basal patch, indented above the middle. Hind wings pale greyish ochreous, darker towards the abdominal margin: cilia concolorous, but very shinmg. Type 9. Ex- panse of the wings 26 millims. North America. From Mr. Carter’s collection. Robinson gives Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York as localities for the species. Cacecia argyrospila. (Plate LXII. figs. 5 & 6.) Retinia argyrospila, Walk. Cat. Lep.

Head and palpi brownish ochreous ; thorax and antennz deep brownish red. Fore wings —with the costa arched to the middle, flattened towards the apex; an appressed costal fold at the base in the male; the apical margin not indented, slightly oblique—deep brownish red, with several paler transverse streaks and mottlings, especially noticeable above the anal angle and before the middle of the dorsal margin; with three conspicuous shining yellowish- white costal spots—the first halfway between the middle and the base of the wing, elongate oblique, abruptly terminated on the upper edge of the cell ; the second triangular (not oblique or fascizeform, as in some varieties of the same species from California), interrupted on the costa by one or two minute reddish-brown costal dots ; the third near the apex, smaller than the preceding ones, blending into a pale streak before the apical margin. Hind wings brownish fuscous, with a reddish tinge towards the apex. Hxpanse of wings 20 millims. In paler varieties, such as fig. 6, the reddish-brown colour is restricted to an oblique median fascia, a costal spot, and an indistinctly mottled basal patch, all possible intermediate gradations being met with. CAC(CIA. 9 Type ¢ (fig. 5): Georgia, from Mr. Milne’s collection. Var. ¢ (fig. 6): May 19, 1871, near San Francisco. I should have been inclined to follow Prof. Zeller in placing this species in the genus Lozotenia, on account of the apex not being produced as in most species of Cacwcia; 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 Lozotenia, the fold in this species being very decided. The species also occurred about Mendocino in the middle of June, and as far north as Mount Shasta in August. One specimen emerged on the 21st of June from a pupa found a few days previously between united leaves of Afsculus californica (Nutt.), the Californian horse-chestnut. It is widely distributed—Missouri, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas being given as localities for it by Zeller and Robinson. There are now five males and one female in the collection, besides the two named above. Cacecia georgiana. (Plate LXII. fig. 7.) Retinia georgiana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 372. Tortrix georgiana, Grote, Bull. Buff’. Soc. pl. 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: antennz dull reddish ochreous, 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 mottlings ; a wide basal patch, its external margin out- wardly angulated at the middle, consists of three parallel shining pinkish ochreous fasciz 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 bemg 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 2. 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.

Tore wings—with the costa arched ; an appressed costal fold at the base in the male, a tuft of long yellowish hairs projecting from the base of the costal fold; apical margin obliquely convex—pale shining whitish straw-colour, with lustrous metallic streaks and spots, white towards the costal and apical margins, steel-blue on the darker portions of the wing towards the dorsal margin; a wide umber-brown dorsal patch extending from before the anal angle to the middle of the dorsal margin, and thence, with a slight interruption, less distinctly to the base of the wing; the base of the costal fold in the male is also shaded with umber- brown ; and a spot of the same colour lies beyond the middle of the costa in both sexes: these umber markings are all surrounded by a diffused margin of bright yellow, which extends to the costa at a point a little before the middle.

Fore wings—with the costa arched more especially towards the base; apex slightly produced; apical margin concave—pale testaceous, with reddish fawn-brown markings, consisting of an almost obsolete outwardly angulated basal patch, a central fascia dilated at the middle and towards the dorsal margin, and an apical patch chiefly conspicuous towards the costa, with several transverse interjacent streaks of the same colour. Hind wings rather yellowish white. Type ¢. Expanse of wings 23 millims. St. Martin’s Falls, Albany River, Hudson’s Bay. Presented by Dr. Barnston. I also met with the species in California from May to July 1871. Walker’s specimen is in bad condition, but appears to agree with Robinson’s figure of 7. lamprosana ; the basal patch, however, is too much rubbed to admit of an accurate comparison. In my Californian specimens, of which one male and one female are now in the British Museum, this is slightly more angulated than in the figure. LOZOTENIA, H.-S. Lozotenia obsoletana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 1.) Teras obsoletana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 288. Lozotenia vesperana, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. v. p. 136. Tortrix vesperana, fob. Trans. Am. Ent.

Fore wings—with the costa much rounded, especially towards the base; apex rounded ; apical margin convex ; dorsal margin bulged at the base, straight beyond—sericeous, pale reddish straw-colour, with an indistinct reddish-brown basal patch, serrated at its outward edge ; a narrow, oblique, pale reddish-brown central fascia from before the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsal margin; a second abbreviated fascia beyond the middle, and some minute dots along the apical margin of the same colour: underside very shining subdued straw-colour: cilia especially shining. Hind wings whitish grey, with slightly paler cilia. Type g. LExpanse of wings 20 millims. c2 12 TORTRICIDA. North America. From Mr. Carter’s collection. Robinson gives Massachusetts, Texas, New York, and Philadelphia as localities. This is one of several instances in which Mr. Walker has described the outer margin as convex where it is rather concave. I can only account for this by supposing that he has described the appearance given to it by the cilia, which may often deceive the eye as to the actual shape of the wing-margin. Lozotenia fucana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 2.) Head, thorax, palpi, and antennz greyish ochreous: abdomen yellowish grey. Fore wings—with the costa evenly rounded, the apical margin not oblique, the costa slightly bent over towards the middle, but not folded in the male—glossy pale ochreous or straw-colour, with a patch of rusty-brown scales towards the base: an oblique brown fascia commences before the middle of the costa, and runs to beyond the middle of the dorsal margin; this fascia is enlarged on its outer edge by a projection following the upper and outer margins of the cell: the veins are indicated towards the apical margin by fine lines of the same colour ; aud there is a small patch towards the apex, wider at the costa than beneath it: cilia glossy, pale ochreous. Hind wings white. A variety (not figured) has the fore wings glossy yellowish ferruginous, the costal patch and fascia indicated in rusty brown; hind wings whitish, slightly spotted and dusted with pale fuscous. 4 ¢. Expanse of wings 20 millims. Southern Oregon, middle of May 1872. This species differs from Cacecia costana of Europe, to which at first sight it would seem to be allied, principally in the brown shade or fascia being carried conspicuously quite across the wing instead of being partially obsolete below the middle as in that species, as well as in the absence of any decided costal fold in the male, which (in followmg Heinemann) would be required to class it with that species and C. semialbana in the genus Cacecia. Lozotenia retiniana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 3.) Head, thorax, and palpi brownish ochreous: palpi very short, ascending; the apical joint slightly depressed: antennz brownish pubescent. Fore wings—with the costa rather straight, slightly bent over along the middle, but without any decided fold; apical margin convex, scarcely oblique—stramineous ochreous, much reticulated, with slightly raised ferru- ginous brown streaks and spots, between some of which they are more or less suffused with light reddish brown (lst) on the basal portion of the wing, (2ndly) at the costa before and beyond the middle, (3rdly) on the dorsal margin within the anal angle, and (4thly) above the middle of the wing towards the apical margin, which has a row of ferruginous brown spots running parallel to it. Hind wings and cilia greyish fuscous. The underside of all the wings greyish fuscous, somewhat spotted with pale ochreous along the costal margins. 1 g. Ex- panse of wings 25 millims. Mount Shasta, California, August 1871. LOZOTANTA. 13 Lozotenia retana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 4.) Palpi very short, scarcely projecting beyond the head ; apical joint slender, exposed, together with the head and antenne yellowish ochreous: thorax yellowish, inclining to reddish ochreous, with some pale yellow appressed scales posteriorly ; a tuft of long whitish hairs on each side at the base of the abdomen. Fore wings—with the costa slightly arched (without a costal fold in the male) ; apex rounded ; apical margin convex—pale golden yellow, with an irregularly margined basal patch widely reticulated with ferruginous lines, its outer half tinged with pinkish ochreous, and an oblique pinkish ochreous central fascia, interrupted above the middle and narrowly margined with ferruginous, irregularly connected with a dorsal spot of the same colour between them; beyond these is another irregular fascia of the same colour, margined with ferruginous, curved downwards towards the anal angle, and not reaching the apical margin; some ferruginous spots or streaks crossing the apex, the whole having a widely reticulated appearance. Hind wings and cilia yellowish white. 2 ¢,1 9. Expanse of wings 18 millims. Texas. Allied to “ Tortriz”’ houstonana, Grote (Bull. Buff. Soc. i. p. 15, pl. i. fig. 5), of which it may prove to be a variety, although it differs from Grote’s figure in the absence of the central shade along the cell and in the presence of a more decided fascia. Lozotenia franciscana. (Plate LXIII. fig. 5.) Antenne pubescent, annulated with white and pale brownish fuscous : head, thorax, palpi, and fore wings whitish, the latter more or less irrorated or suffused with pale brownish fuscous, with an ill-defined and indistinct patch at the base of the wing ; an oblique fascia from before the middle of the costa to within the anal angle, a triangular spot at the costa beyond the middle, and a slight shade along the apical margin ; all minutely irrorated with brownish- fuscous scales disposed in slender lines. Hind wings very pale brownish fuscous ; the cilia whitish. Some specimens are much darker than others, the spaces between the dark markings being more suffused with subfuscous scales. 2 ¢.

Head, thorax, antennz, and palpi brownish grey ; the palpi with the second joint thickly clothed with greyish scales, somewhat projecting above the base of the short apical joint. Fore wings—with the costa arched before the middle and slightly indented before the apex ; the apical margin oblique—shining pale brownish grey, sometimes minutely speckled transversely with brownish fuscous; a narrow, indistinct, brownish-fuscous fascia before the middle. chiefly visible at the costa, sharply angulated internally below the middle of the wing; a long 14 TORTRICID &. semiovate spot of the same colour along the costa halfway between the fascia and the apex : cilia scarcely paler than the ground-colour of the wing: the underside with a slight ochreous tinge along the costa. Hind wings whitish, dusted and speckled with pale brownish fuscous, especially towards the margin. Abdomen whitish grey ; anal tuft large, with a slight ochreous tinge. 2 ¢,1 9. Expanse of wings 15} millims. Southern Oregon, about the middle of May 1872. Allied to L. sescuplana, Zell., but larger, darker, and more distinctly marked. I have specimens of the true L. sescuplana from Shasta County, California, taken at the end of July 1871, as well as some received from Texas, of which specimens are now in the British-Museum collection. LOPHODERUS, Siph. Lophoderus gloveranus. (Plate LXIII. fig. 7.) Head whitish grey, thickly clothed above and in front; palpi whitish grey, brownish at the sides, projecting the length of the head beyond it: antennz slightly pubescent : thorax with a raised ferruginous tuft of scales at the back ; patagia of the same colour. Fore wings —with the costa arched; apical margin very oblique, slightly emarginate below the apex— rather shining leaden grey, with a ferruginous patch at the base extending over one fourth of the wing, externally margined with brownish fuscous; an irregular, waved, greyish-fuscous fascia about the middle, clearly defined only on its inner edge ; beyond and before it are some transverse streaks and lines of brownish fuscous, especially towards the apex; the apical portion of the costa clothed with brownish fuscous, and some streaks of the same colour running through the grey cilia. Hind wings pale brownish fuscous; cilia paler. 1 ¢. Expanse of wings 19 millims. Near Mount Shasta, California, Sept. 3rd, 1871. This species appears to differ from the genus Lophoderus, as defined by Stephens, in having the apical margin of the wing slightly indented or emarginate below the apex ; but as it agrees in all other particulars, it may perhaps be placed in that genus, at least provisionally. I have named it in honour of Prof. Glover, of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, who, at the time of my visit in 1871, was most assiduously engaged in entomological work, and to whose kindness I am much indebted.

Palpi extending about the length of the head beyond it ; the apical jot short, exposed ; these, together with the head, dull reddish ochreous: antenne scarcely pubescent. Fore wings—with the costa arched towards the base, apex not produced, apical margin convex— pale reddish towards the base, with a brownish-fuscous irregular-shaped elongate spot ex- ternally pale-margined at the base of the dorsal margin; a wide, oblique, central fascia, deep brownish red, margined on both sides by a narrow shining pale line, and having an inden- tation on its inner side above the middle ; a brownish-fuscous triangular costal spot beyond the middle is preceded by a purplish shade, and followed by a shining silvery patch adjacent to the apical margin, reaching to the anal angle and containing @ few ochreous and fuscous scales: cilia shining reddish ochreous. Hind wings pale greyish fuscous; cilia paler. In the male C. velutinana, Walk. (T. lutosana, Clem.), which is somewhat smaller than the female, the central fascia is narrower and more deeply indented on its inner edge below the costa; the basal patch is more constricted below the middle, and the costa is somewhat less arched towards the base. Type 9. Expanse of wings 15 millims. North America. From Mr. Carter’s collection. Robinson gives Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio as localities. Prof. Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 227), after giving most careful comparative descriptions, expresses the opinion that 7. lutosana, Clem., is not specifically distinct from T. incertana, Clem., and that the two together are not distinct from politana, Haw. Grote and Robinson (/. ¢.) point out that C. velutinana, Walk., is the same as triferana, Walk. A careful comparison of Walker’s types shows that his triferana is the form described as incer- tana by Clemens, and that his velutinana is equivalent to lwtosana. Messrs. Grote and Robinson are therefore in accord with Professor Zeller in regarding these two as forms of the same species. 16 TORTRICIDA. I should have been content to drop Walker’s two names in favour of politana, Haw., being thus guided entirely by Zeller ; but he seems to state his views rather as opinions only, than as conclusions which need no further verification. Finding it impossible to conceive that Herrich-Schaffer’s figure (413) of lepidana, H.-S., which is a synonym of politana, Haw., and Robinson’s figures of incertana and lutosana, could have been intended for the same species, I have carefully compared specimens of these latter with a large series of the European politana, of which, however, I have no German specimens. With the exception of some few varieties, which do not approach the American forms, the whole of the series agree well with Herrich-Schaffer’s figure, but not with those of Robinson nor with my American examples. I have therefore been induced to retain Walker’s name for the present, until some further evidence is brought to bear upon the matter. Walker’s specimen of triferana is a female, not a male, as stated by him in his catalogue ; his two specimens of velutinana are both males. Walker’s other North-American species are :— Lophoderus? semiferanus, Walk.: see Cacecia semiferana, p. 7. vestitanus, Walk., of which the type is missing in the British-Museum collection. melaleucanus, Walk. : see Ptycholoma melaleucanum, p. 10. .

In the brighter and more ochreous specimens the legs are often ochreous, except the first pair of tibia, which are darker above; but in the darker specimens the legs are of the same dusky shade as the whole underside of the wings. 2 ¢. May 17th, 1872, Petaluma, near San Francisco. C@nectra senecionana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 3.) Antenne strongly pubescent in the male: head, palpi, thorax, and fore wings ochreous yellow, with an oblique pale purplish chestnut fascia before the middle of the costa, not reaching the dorsal margin ; a shade of the same colour extending from beyond the middle of the costa over the whole apical third of the wing, sinuated on its inner margin, and sometimes interrupted by the pale ground-colour between the veins, within and parallel to the apical margin. The female has the fore wings usually unicolorous pale ochreous chestnut, the fascia and apical shade faintly indicated by a purplish hue: hind wings pale cinereous ochreous, sometimes with a rosy tinge. 3 ¢,2 9. Expanse of wings 16-19 millims. This species occurred from June 20th to August 6th, from Lake County to Mount Shasta, California; and again at the beginning of May, in Southern Oregon. I bred one specimen from a larva found feeding on a species of Senecio in May, which emerged early in June, CENOPIS, Zell. Cenopis directana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 4.) Teras directana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 309. ? Cenopis testulana, Zell. Verh.z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 241. Palpi reddish brown, projecting more than the length of the head beyond it; the second joint thickened towards its base, and tapering towards the short conical apical joint: head thickly clothed, together with the antenne reddish brown: thorax reddish brown in front, ochreous behind. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide—the costa evenly arched ; apex obtusely rounded ; apical margin rather convex, not oblique—deep orange ochreous, minutely irrorated with greenish metallic scales, with an oblique, slender, brownish-purple fascia dilated towards the costa before the middle, and reaching the middle of the dorsal margin; an D 18 TORTRICID. irregularly triaugular brownish-purple costal spot beyond the middle, merging into and followed by several slender transverse purplish streaks across the apical portion of the wing: cilia shining pale ochreous, shot with purplish. Hind wings shining brownish ochreous. Expanse of wings 20 millims. This appears to be a pale variety of a species from Texas, which I am assured by Prof. Fernald, who has seen the type, is Cenopis testulana of Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 241). I can detect no difference between the specimens except in the generally paler hue, especially of the ground-colour of the wing, in Walker’s example, for which, unfortunately, no locality is given. One of my dark Texan specimens is now in the British- Museum. Cenopis gracilana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 5.) Head, palpi, antenne, and fore wings stramineous ochreous, the latter with a narrow oblique purplish-fuscous fascia running from before the middle of the costa to the middle of the dorsal margin, dilated at both extremities. Slightly beyond the middle of the costa is a _ slender angulated line of the same colour, which crosses the wing to a point opposite to the middle of the apical margin, whence it is bent downwards, reaching the dorsal margin before the anal angle; the costa is faintly speckled with reddish ochreous, as is also the apical portion of the wing beyond the angulated line; the cilia and apical margin reddish ochreous. Hind wings greyish white, the cilia having a faint yellowish tinge. Type ?. Expanse of wings 21 millims. This species differs from “ Cresia?”’ reticulatana, Clem. (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil. 1860, p. 353), to which it is allied, chiefly in the form of the angulated line, which is not bent above the middle, and in the absence of any dark shading beyond it or attached to it. The fascia also is less oblique. I have seen no other specimen but the one above described, which was originally given to me by Monsieur de Heidemann, of St. Petersburg, who had received it from New York. Cenopis diluticostana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 6.) Head, palpi, and antenne dull reddish ochreous. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide—with the costa arched ; apical margin not convex, dorsal margin scarcely rounded— chestnut-brown, paler (with a yellowish tinge) towards the costa, which is purplish brown at the base, with three purplish-brown fasciz ; the first before the middle oblique, dilated towards the costa, becoming obsolete towards the dorsal margin; the second beyond the middle, narrower, curved outwardly from beneath the costa, and reaching to the anal angle; the third covering the apex and apical margin nearly to the anal angle. Hind wings grey. 1 ¢@. Expanse of wings 13 lines. From the Eastern States of North America. CENOPIS. 19 Cenopis niveana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 7.) Palpi about twice the length of the head, reddish brown beneath, pale greenish yellow above; the second joint depressed, exposed: head and thorax pale greenish yellow. Fore wings bright shining white, suffused with reddish brown, shot with bright purple over two thirds of their surface, leaving only a conspicuous costal spot, a short basal patch, with a projecting angle at the upper edge of the cell, and a wide band over the cilia and apical margin; the suffused portion of the wing has a mottled appearance on the dorsal half as of the white ground-colour partly appearing through the shading; two small reddish-brown spots on the costa near the base of the wing. Hind wings suffused with very pale ochreous brown over all their surface, except the shining white margins and cilia; underside white, the red markings showing through the wing over the whole middle surface. Expanse of wings 23 millims. Canada. IT have not had an opportunity of comparing this species with Tortriv alisellana, Rob. (Trans. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. p. 265, pl. i. fig. 15), to which it is nearly allied. That species, however, has not been described as being variable; and the Canadian form figured in this volume differs decidedly from Robinson’s figure in the extent and arrangement of the white spaces on the fore wings; but it is possible that it may prove to be only a variety of Robinson’s species, which is from Ohio. Cenopis pulcherrimana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 8.) Palpi scarcely twice as long as the head; both pale yellow straw-colour; antenne tinged with chestnut-brown. Fore wings—with the costa abruptly arched at the base, nearly straight beyond, slightly rounded at the apex; the apical margin convex ; the dorsal margin bulged at the base, straight beyond—pale yellow straw-colour, suffused over a great part of their surface with pale chestnut-brown, such parts having a slightly mottled appearance. The pure ground- colour of the wing appears only in a large triangular costal spot extending from near the base to beyond the middle, in a smaller spot near the base of the dorsal margin, and on the apical margin, where it forms an ovate blotch.

Fore wings—with the costa arched, especially towards the base ; the apex produced, apical margin concave—ochreous, with a faint purplish gloss; the veins traceable in slender ochreous-chestnut lines connected at short intervals, especially over the apical portion of the wing, by minute transverse streaks of the same colour, giving a reticulated appearance; a darker shade, tending obliquely inwards from the costa beyond the middle, is but slightly indicated ; an indistinct spot of tawny-fuscous scales lies on the upper edge of the cell, before the middle of the wing. Hind wings slightly emarginate below the apex, shining whitish, with a faint ochreous tinge, especially about the apical portion of the wing. Type ?. Expanse of wings 23 millims. Vancouver’s Island. From Dr. Lyell’s collection. Walker originally created the genus “ Begunna’’ for the reception of this species, and afterwards transferred it to the genus Teras. The type was long missing from its proper place in the collection, and was only lately found at the end of the series of “ Teras”’ rostrana immediately above it. There can be no doubt that this is the specimen described by Walker under the name Begunna xanthoides ; but in the generic description there are two remarkable errors: one is the statement that the “exterior border”? is ‘“‘convex’”’ (the word must have been intended to be concave, a conspicuous character in this insect) ; the other is the asserted absence of a proboscis, which, although not easily observed, can be detected by a careful examination. I have no doubt that this is the female of Leptoris breviornatana of Clemens ; and if it does not belong to the more comprehensive genus Cenopis of Zeller, in which I have placed it with some hesitation, Walker’s genus Begunna must probably be retained on the ground of priority. Before coming to the genus Dichelia, Walker describes :— Batodes bipustulana = Grapholitha costomaculana, Clem. Amphisa luridana =Simaethis, sp. DICHELIA, Guén. Dichelia tunicana. (Plate LXV. fig. 1.) Head, thorax, and antenne ochreous brown; patagia ochreous ; palpi brown, paler beneath, projecting beyond the head scarcely more than its length ; the apical joint depressed ; abdomen brown, the anal tuft ochreous ; legs pale yellowish grey. Fore wings ochreous yellow, with an oblique chocolate-brown fascia extending from before the middle of the costa nearly to the dorsal margin, and a broad chocolate-brown patch from beyond the middle of the costa covering the whole apical third of the wing, the pale ground-colour forming a sinus on the middle of its inner side ; this patch is sometimes connected with the outer edge of the central DICHELIA.—CAPUA. , 21 fascia at a point near the upper edge of the cell (under a lens these chocolate brown markings are found to be irrorated with sublustrous greenish scales) : cilia ochreous yellow.

Head, thorax, and palpi brownish ochreous; antenne paler, pubescent in the male; abdomen greyish fuscous, the anal tuft ochreous. Fore wings ochreous, a light reddish- brown fascia from the costa from before the middle, extending obliquely outwards towards the dorsal margin, to the middle of which it is connected by a narrow streak: a wider angulated fascia of the same colour, beyond the middle, is sometimes connected with the central fascia on the dorsal margin. In some varieties the whole apical third of the wing is suffused with the same colour; in others there is a slender streak within the apical margin, and the pale ground-colour encroaches on the outer edge of the second fascia: cilia pale ochreous. Hind wings greyish fuscous. Legs pale yellowish, except the first pair of tibize, which are reddish brown. 39,292. Expanse of wings g 15 millims., ? 20 millims. North California, June and July 1871.

Robinson gives Pennsylvania, Zeller gives New York and Ohio as localities for this species. Although Mr. Walker’s type is a male, he fails to mention the very conspicuous costal fold; and Prof. Zeller, who follows him in placing the insect in the genus Dichelia, describes it from two female specimens only, adding the words “ revolucro ¢ nullo?” The presence of the costal fold in the male excludes it from the genus Dichelia; but although this and the following species agree in all essential points with the distinguishing characteristic of the genus Capua mentioned in Heinemann’s synopsis, and with Stephens’s original description of it, they differ somewhat from his typical species Capua ochraceana in the form of the anterior wings, especially in the less oblique apical margin.

Rouge River, June 1872, In the genus Retinia, Walker’s two American species are as follows :— Retinia georgiana, Walk.: see Cacecia georgiana, p. 9. —— argyrospila, Walk.: see Cacecia argyrospila, p. 8. IDIOGRAPHIS, Led. This genus, used by Lederer (Wien. entom. Monat. no. 8. 1859, Band iii. p. 242) and by Heinemann (Schmett. Deutsch. und der Schw. Band i. Heft 1, pp. 31-88) as a subgenus of Tortriz, Linn., for the reception of a single species, 7. centrana, H.-S.,=T. inopiana, Haw., has been very shortly characterized by these authors. Its affinities appear to bring it nearer to the genus Cochylis, Tr., than to Tortrix, Linn. The palpi project more than the length of the head beyond it; the second joint is stout and thickly clothed, the apical joint shert and exposed. The antenne are pubescent in the male. The fore wings—with an appressed fold, covering about one third of the costa in the male—are slightly arched, the apical margin rather oblique, convex, the dorsal margin also slightly convex. Vein 2 of the fore wings arising from the outer third of the cell. The middle vein of the hind wings with no long hairs at the base. The inner tarsal spur decidedly longer than the outer. Anal tuft moderate. Separated from Cociylis by the decided costa! fold in the male, but agreeing in neuration. Idiographis fulviplicana. (Plate LXVI. figs. 2 & 3.) Head yellowish straw-colour: palpi not profusely clothed, extending nearly twice the length of the head beyond it, pale whitish yellow above, brown or tawny at the sides beneath : antenne tawny, pubescent in the male. Fore wings—with the costa arched ; apical margin oblique convex ; an appressed tawny brown costal fold in the male—rather shining whitish, much blotched with yellowish straw-colour; a tawny spot at the end of the cell precedes an E 26 TORTRICID ZA. oblique tawny fascia running to the anal angle across the apical third of the wing; beyond it the costa and apical margin are spotted with pale tawny ; sometimes an oblique tawny spot lies across the cell at the outer edge of the basal third of the wing: vein 2 of the fore wings arising from the outer third of the cell. Hind wings pale fuscous grey ; the cilia paler, with a grey line within them. Female having much the appearance of a true Cochylis ; smaller than the male: fore wings narrow, the apical third much suffused with tawny; its inner margin oblique from the anal angle; a sharply angulated tawny fascia in the middle of the wing, wider towards the dorsal margin, is narrowly and obliquely interrupted at its angle ; also a tawny spot on the base of the costa.

Expanse of wings ¢ 22 millims., 9? 17 millims. Shasta County, California, June and July 1871. This species is allied to T. inopiana, Haw. (centrana, H.-S.), Wood. fig. 1159. Heine- mann places centrana in the subgenus Jdiographis of Lederer, but confuses inopiana with hepa- tariana, H.-S.,atrue Pedisca. Its affinities were recognized by Stephens, who classed it with Cochylis zegana and C. hamana in his genus Xanthosetia ; and Doubleday, in his ‘ Synonymic List of British Butterflies and Moths,’ places inopiana, Haw. (centrana, H.-S.), m the genus Cochylis, Tr. I have followed them in now referring Id. fulviplicana at least to the neigh- bourhood of the same genus. Its structure and neuration must necessarily place it there, according to the rules laid down in Hememann’s synopsis, which also draw attention to its obvious affinity. Idiographis egrana. (Plate LXVI. fig. 4.) Palpi white above, fawn-brown at the sides and beneath, nearly three times the length of the head, thickly clothed with long scales projecting below the apical joint, which is slightly exposed and rather pointed: head white; antenne pale brown, slightly pubescent in the male. Fore wings—with the costa gently arched ; an appressed fulvous costal fold at the base— creamy white, faintly speckled with thinly scattered fawn-coloured scales, especially beyond the middle, with a fulvous dot at the end of the cell, followed by a slender line of fawn- coloured dots running obliquely from the costa beyond the middle to the anal angle, above which it is slightly angulated: beyond this line the apical portion of the wing is faintly speckled with lines of pale fawn-coloured dots ; a very slender line of the same colour at the base of the cilia in the fore and hind wings, more plainly visible on the underside of the anterior wings. Hind wings white, very faintly speckled with pale fawn-colour ; cilia white. Underside of fore wings much shaded with fawn-brown. 2 6,29. Expanse of wings 20 millims. : Southern Oregon, June 1872. This is nearly allied to the preceding species, [. fulviplicana, but is easily distinguished by the white ground-colour of the wings. I have seen no intermediate forms among a con- siderable series of varieties of fulviplicana; and the present species does not appear to vary. IDIOGRAPHIS.—COCHYLIS. 27 Idiographis floccosana.

Conchylis scissana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 360. Palpi projecting fully the length of the head beyond it, closely clothed; the apical joint not exposed: antenne brownish, the first pair of tarsi dark brown.

Cochylis saxicolana. (Plate LX VII. fig. 1.) Head and palpi greyish, touched with brown at the sides; the apical joint exposed. Fore wings nearly three times as long as wide, pale brownish, with some ill-defined sublustrous streaks and mottlings: a conspicuous, ferruginous-brown, obliquely elongated spot before the middle of the dorsal margin, pomting towards a wider dull brownish patch on the costa, which is the commencement of a subobsolete, angulated, median fascia ; a narrow, indistinct, brownish fascia crosses from the costa beyond it to the anal angle; and the apex and apical margin are spotted with the same colour. Hind wings pale, faintly rosy grey. 3 ¢. Expanse of wings 13 millims. Southern Oregon, end of May 1872. Cochylis latipunctana. (Plate LXVII. fig. 2.) Head and palpi greyish white, tinged with fuscous at the sides: antennze faintly annu- lated. Fore wings nearly three times as long as wide, with some faint greyish-fuscous reticu- lations and blotches; the base partly suffused with pale greyish fuscous, especially on the costa; a wide, abbreviated, fuscous-brown half-fascia before the middle of the dorsal margin, pointing towards a pale greyish-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa, beyond which, before the apex, is another, similar spot ; the apical margin is spotted greyish fuscous, and the cilia partly suffused with a paler shade of the same colour.

Fore wings nearly three times as long as wide—costa not arched, slightly depressed at the apex ; apical margin oblique, not 30 TORTRICIDA. indented—faint rosy white, streaked and clouded, especially on the apical portion of the wing, with pale olive-grey ; a brownish-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa is connected with an oblique abbreviated dorsal patch of the same colour by an indistinct outwardly angulated and sometimes interrupted olive-grey band; some smaller costal spots beyond it and a slender line along the apical margin greyish fuscous : cilia light reddish brown, mixed with fuscous. Hind wings subreticulated with whitish grey. In the female the apical portion of the fore wings is more clouded and suffused with grey, and the hind wings are darker than in the male. 34, 2 9. Expanse of wings ¢ 16-18 millims., 9 14 millims. Mendocino County, June 10th, 1871. This species is nearly allied to C. pallidana (Zell. Isis, 1847, p. 742), but appears to differ from it in the wider grey band towards the apex, in the more conspicuous costal spot, and in the wider dorsal patch. Cochylis parvimaculana. (Plate LX VII. fig. 5.) Head, antennz, and palpi greyish fuscous. Fore wings not three times as long as wide —the costa slightly arched—dull whitish, faintly mottled with pale greyish fuscous ; a small greyish-fuscous basal patch is projected along the costa to one fourth of its length, followed by a greyish-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa; the whole apical portion of the wing from the costa to the anal angle, as well as the cilia, irregularly streaked, mottled, and suffused with greyish and purplish fuscous ; a small, purplish-fuscous, obliquely elongated spot before the middle of the dorsal margin. Hind wings pale brownish grey, faintly mottled. 1 ¢. Ex- panse of wings 16} millims. Shasta County, July 16th, 1871. Under the generic name of Conchylis, Walker describes also the following North-American species :— Conchylis invexana, Walk., = Ptycholoma melaleucanum, see p. 10. gratana, Walk., =Cresia? reticulatana, Clem., var. sulfureana. —— cretiferana, Walk. This belongs to the Noctuids ? PENTHINA, 77. Penthina consanguinana. (Plate LX VII. fig. 6.) Palpi short, obtuse: antenne slightly pubescent: thorax mottled white and brownish fuscous, with a raised umber-brown tuft behind it. Fore wings—with the costa evenly arched; the apex rounded; apical margin oblique, not indented—rather yellowish white, with an oblique narrow fascia near the base and a rather oblique broad central fascia, convex at its outer edge and much widened towards the dorsal margin, mottled with brownish fuscous, the space between them as well as the base of the wing being almost obscured by brownish-fuscous PENTHINA. eo jt streaks and mottlings ; three small costal spots are conspicuous between the fascize ; beyond the outer fascia are four or five grey costal spots and a triangular grey shade at the apex, which is continued in a broken line along the apical margin; before this is a greyish-fuscous horseshoe-shaped spot, conspicuous upon the plain ground-colour of the wing, sometimes connected at its outer edge with the apical margin: a pale fuscous line runs within the base of the cilia, the points of which are also touched with fuscous. Hind wings whitish stone- grey, with paler cilia. Abdomen and anal tuft slightly ochreous. 3 ¢,2 92. Expanse of wings 2] millims. This species differs from P. variegana, Hiibn. (No. 937, Wocke’s Cat.), in having no grey shading on the plain apical portion of the wing, with the exception of the one horseshoe-shaped spot, also in the larger and more diluted costal spots and more defined central fascia. It lacks the strong ochreous tint of P, ochroleucana, Hiibn. (No. 939, Wocke’s Cat.), and has paler hind wings than that species; and it may be at once distinguished from P. capreana, Hiibn. (P. mestana, Wocke ; No. 931, Wocke’s Cat.), by the convex (not concave) outer edge of the central fascia. In a considerable series from California, obtained in May, June, and July, I have found no specimen which could not at once be separated from the numerous nearly allied European forms, at least so far as I am acquainted with them. Penthina nimbatana, Clem., which is the Penthina contrariana of Walker, differs from consanguinana in its smaller size and in the almost unspotted white apical portion of the wing, which contains no horseshoe mark. Penthina conditana. (Plate LX VII. fig. 7.) Palpi depressed, greyish fuscous: head and antenne greyish fuscous. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide—the apical margin scarcely oblique, slightly convex; apex rounded ; the costa somewhat arched—brownish fuscous, speckled or blotched with yellowish stone- colour, especially towards the base and on the outer portion of the costa, suffused before and beyond the middle with a purplish hue, leaving the darker ground-colour in an ill-defined rather straight fascia across the middle of the wing, with a slight angulated excrescence about the middle of its outer edge, and in a narrow space along the apical margin: the purplish suffused band beyond the central fascia is divided into two almost equal parts below the middle by a line running parallel to the apical margin.

Palpi projecting about the length of the head beyond it, roughly clothed, the long scales below projecting as far as the end of the exposed apical joint ; these, together with the head, antenne, and thorax (which is tufted behind), cinereous brown. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide—the costa arched ; the apical margin scarcely oblique—greyish cinereous, with a brown fascia from the middle of the costa, not reaching the dorsal margin, and having an excrescence on its outer edge, the whole having the appearance of an inverted chess-knight ; a brown triangular spot on the dorsal margin before the anal angle, sometimes joined to a second brown shade or blotch below the apex, which tends obliquely towards the apical margin: some few brown abbreviated streaks from the costa, a very ill-defined sometimes obsolete basal patch, and a brown line along the apical margin at the base of the cilia, which are cinereous. Hind wings rather brownish; cilia paler. 5 ¢. Expanse of wings 15-17 millims. Northern California, early in June 1872, also from Texas. SERICORIS. By) Allied to Penthina antiquana, Hiibn. (Staud. and Wocke, 1003), which it greatly resembles, but much smaller. In a long series I have seen none which approach the size of the European species. Sericoris auricapitana. (Plate LX VII. fig. 10.) Palpi short, projecting but little beyond the head; the apical joint scarcely exposed, together with the head and basal joint of antenne bright orange-yellow: antennze fuscous. The fore wings brownish fuscous, irrorated with orange-yellow and with shining steel-blue spots and streaks ; the spots are most conspicuous about the base of the wing and before the middle of the costal margin, with some of smaller size on the cell and below it. There are two costal streaks of the same colour running obliquely towards the apical margin, and a wider one more conspicuous about the ocellated patch above the anal angle. A conspicuous orange-yellow patch on the costa, before the apex, reaches across towards the apical margin, which with the cilia is bluish fuscous. Hind wings fuscous brown, paler towards the base, with ochreous-white cilia. 2 ¢. Expanse of wings 12 millims. I have seen specimens of this species in the collection of the Entomological Society at Philadelphia under the MS. name of “ pantherana.”’ It seems to be nearly allied to Endo- pisa agilana, Clem., which is probably also a small Sericoris. The two original species in- cluded by Guénée in the genus Endopisa, namely E. nigricana and EL. proximana, are placed in Staudinger and Wocke’s Catalogue under the genus Pedisca, to which Endopisa agilana cannot belong, as it has no costal fold in the male. S. auricapitana comes rather near to the larger S. siderana, Tr., of Europe. Sericoris puncticostana. (Plate LX VIII. fig. 1.) Sciaphila puncticostana, Walk. Cat. Lep.

Hind wings pale greyish fuscous. 2 ¢. Expanse of wings 16 millims. Southern Oregon, June 2nd, 1872. This insect differs from its nearest allies Sericoris bipartitana, Clem. (= similisana, Walk.), and Sericoris dealbana, Walk., in the white ground-colour of the fore wings being delicately streaked, as well as in the apical half of the costal margin being streaked rather than spotted : moreover it has a generally greyer tinge than those two species, the darker markings of which are blackish. Sericoris dealbana. (Plate LXVIII. fig. 3.) Penthina dealbana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 374. Palpi brown, tipped with whitish, with the second jomt roughly clothed below; the apical’ joint exposed, scarcely projecting beyond the head, which with the antennz is also brown. Fore wings—with the costa slightly arched; apex rounded; apical margin oblique—white, with an outwardly angulated basal patch; a slightly oblique central fascia indented about the middle of its inner edge and dilated outwardly on the dorsal margin, beyond it three costal spots and one larger apical spot or shade running through the cilia, also an oblique elongated patch from the apical margin above the anal angle to a point below the middle costal spot, all these markings pale olive-brown irrorated with darker brown scales; some minute ab- breviated brownish streaks between the costal spots and patches, especially towards the apex: the pale ground-colour of the wing is not striated; and the costal spots are wider and more conspicuous than any to be found in Sericoris dilutifuscana. Hind wings pale cinereous, with whitish-grey cilia, shghtly shaded round the apex. Type ¢. ‘Expanse of wings 18 millims. North America. From Mr. Carter’s collection.

Hind wings dull dingy grey. Type ¢. Expanse of wings 24 millims. Arctic America. Presented by Sir J. Richardson. Two specimens of this species, brought by Mr. Hart from the winter quarters in Grinnell Land of the ‘ Discovery ’ in the last Polar Expedition, are mentioned by Mr. M‘achlan (Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xiv. no. 74, p.116) as probably identical with specimens in bad condition in the British- Museum collection representing Retinia septentrionana of Walker’s catalogue (pt. xxviil. p. 373). He adds that they do not agree with the description of Orthotenia septentrionana, Curt. (App. Ross’s 2nd Arctic Voyage, p. 77). Curtis gives the expanse of the wings of his species as 7 lines, and Walker’s specimens under that name measure about 83 lines, whereas those described by M‘Lachlan (expanding 114 lines) appear to agree with S. inquietana (114 lines) not only in structure and markings, but also in measurement. Walker’s Sciaphila primariana, measuring 7 lines, is evidently the same species as his supposed septentrionana, Curt., which I venture to think would have agreed with Curtis’s description had they been in better condition. Packard’s descriptions of Penthina tessalana (expanse under 8 lines) and P. fulvifrontana (expanse about 7 lines), in the Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. xi. pp. 55, 56, and Clemens’s description of Mizodia? intermistana, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. v. p. 140, which must all be closely allied species, appear to agree more nearly with septentrionana, Curt., than with inquietana Walk. F2 36 TORTRICIDA. PHZECASIOPHORA, Grote.

Hind tibie covered with long coarse whitish scales in the male. 2 ¢. Expanse of wings 19 millims. North America: from Mr. Carter’s collection. New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia (Grote). In redescribing this species I have reversed the usual practice of mentioning first the paler shades of the wing-colours, thus making the description entirely independent of those of other authors, whilst endeavouring not to fall short of them in accuracy or simplicity. Messrs. Grote and Robinson (/. c.) consider Walker’s Sciaphila confixana to be the Exartema permundanum of Clemens; but a careful examination does not support this view. EXARTEMA, Clemens. Exartema sericoranum, (Plate LX VIII. fig. 7.) Palpi yellowish white, erect ; the second joint thickly clothed beneath; the apical joint short, exposed, tipped with fuscous: antennz dull ochreous, slightly pubescent in the male: head, thorax, and patagia ferruginous. Fore wings—twice as long as wide; costa arched ; apical margin slightly convex—ferruginous, slightly shaded with fuscous, with irregular fascize and streaks, bluish grey internally, narrowly margined with whitish ochreous. The first fascia is geminated at the costa before the middle, bulged on its outer edge along the cell, en i EXARTEMA. 37 and narrowed as it attains the dorsal margin; the base of the wing between this marking and the thorax is somewhat mottled with the same shades as compose the fascia ; the second fascia originates in a geminated oblique costal streak scarcely beyond the middle, which just reaches to the next costal streak beyond it, thence diverging at an angle to the apical margin, of which it covers the lower fourth with the anal angle; this fascia has an excrescence on its inner edge projecting along the cell; and below this excrescence is a branch running to the dorsal margin, which branch also has a projecting excrescence on its inner edge. ‘Towards the apex are three geminated costal streaks; the first, after touching the outer angle of the fascia as described, converges, with the other two, towards the middle of the apical margin. The above-described markings leave the ferruginous ground-colour of the wings most con- spicuous, in a wide central band, a triangular dorsal spot before the anal angle, and an ovate patch, projecting obliquely inwards, rising from below the middle of the apical margin. The costa is shaded with fuscous between the streaks ; and there is a narrow fuscous line along the apical margin. The markings and general appearance of this insect remind one strongly of those of a Sericoris. 1 $,1 9. Expanse of wings 17 millims. North America. Exartema punctanum. (Plate LX VIII. fig. 8.) Head brown, tufted above; palpi whitish, the second joint thickly clothed with long scales projecting below the exposed apical joint, which is fuscous; antenne scarcely pu- bescent in the male. Fore wings whitish fawn-colour blotched with olivaceous fuscous ; an angulated blotch at the base of the dorsal margin, another on the middle of the costa, another rather darker covering the apex and apical margin, and two paler olivaceous blotches, one on the middle of the dorsal margin, another before the anal angle ; also some abbreviated streaks along the costa; the space between the blotches contains some very sublustrous leaden-grey lines and bands; a slender pale line, followed by a wider fuscous line, runs along the apical margin at the base of the cilia; a fuscous spot lies within the end of the cell. Hind wings brownish, darker towards the margin; cilia whitish, with a dark line along them as in the fore wings. 164,29. Expanse of wings 17 millims. Shasta County, July 12th, 1871. This species is nearly allied to Exartema inornatanum, Clem., which, Prof. Fernald informs me, is probably the EH. quadrifidum of Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 268) ; but the markings are more defined, and the spot at the end of the cell constitutes a good distin- guishing character. Exartema ferriferanum. (Plate LX XV. fig. 4.)

Expanse of wings 16-18 millims. Rouge River, Oregon, May 1872. This species is nearly allied to the European P. tripunctana, 8.

In the almost falecate apex and the greatly rounded costa it would approach the genus Phowopterysr ; but the costal fold in the male, if we follow Heinemann’s arrangement, must place it, at least provisionally, in the genus Pedisca.

Soc. 11. p. 284), but differs from it in the absence of the costal spot near the base, and of the circular white costal dot beyond the middle, moreover in the white median streak being more abruptly angulated and situated somewhat more towards the costa. The dorsal margin also is not white beyond the middle, as in Robinson’s species. Pedisca crambitana. (Plate LXX. fig. 1.) &.

This insect reminds one curiously of a Crambus, not only by its long narrow wings, but by the character of its ornamentation much resembling that of many species in the group which includes that genus. It may perhaps be worthy of remark that whereas Wilkinson and other authors frequently mention the colour of the eyes in their descriptions of new species, we have in this species a proof that such observations are of little or no value ; for in the female specimen described above the eyes are pale ochreous grey, whereas in the male they are black ; moreover I have in my own collection another female of the same species, of which the eyes are black, showing that in this case at least it is a mere variation, and not even a sexual distinction.

Nearly allied to P. irroratana, but a much smaller species, and without the lustrous scales which distinguish it, otherwise greatly resembling it in general appearance. The di- stinction between the two species appears to be that in P. irroratana the ground-colour of the wing is dark with paler markings, whereas in P. perdricana the ground-colour is pale and the markings are darker.

Hind wings fawn-brown, with slightly paler cilia. The abbreviated costal streaks are very visible on the underside of the fore wings ; and the underside of the hind wings is profusely speckled, giving them a reticulated appearance. 2 ¢.

This species is nearly allied to P. trigeminana, Steph. (Staud. and Wocke, 1101), but is slightly smaller, the fore wings shorter in proportion to their breadth, the dorsal spot whiter, the ocellated patch less distinctly visible, the hind wings darker, and the palpi rather longer and more conspicuous. JI am informed by Prof. Zeller that he has a specimen of the true P. trigeminana from California; and Prof. Fernald has also a specimen from the same locality which approaches even more nearly to it than my P. hirsutana. I have two specimens in my own collection, taken in California, which I believe to be P. trigeminana; but I had long since made a note of their distinctness from the species above described, which appears to be very constant in its characters. Since writing the above, Prof. Zeller has most generously presented to me the specimen above referred to, which exactly resembles in colour and shape one of my supposed P. trigemi- nana from California. It is, however, much larger. I am by no means convinced that it is not another good and distinct species. In any case it seems distinct from P. hirsutana. Pedisca improbana. (Plate LXXII. fig. 2.)

Clemens in the ‘Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia,’ vol. v., where, after describing his Steganoptycha flavocellana from a specimen in his own collection, he mentions that there are other specimens from Virginia, in the collection of the Entomological Society of Phila- delphia, of which the general hue is paler, and which are not more than half the size of the specimen chosen as his type. I have myself seen in that collection specimens of the species now under description labelled Steganoptycha flavocellana, Clem.; but I am assured by Prof. Fernald, who has seen Dr. Clemens’s type, that the present species is quite distinct from it. The absence of a black central dash, and of one on the costal edge of the ocelloid spot, are among the most noticeable points of divergence from Dr. Clemens’s description, in which, unfortunately, the dimensions and the presence or absence of a costal fold are not referred to. 54 TORTRICIDA.

Expansc of wings 25 millims. Northern Oregon, middle of April 1872. This is one of several species in which vein 4 of the hind wings appears to be obsolete. They agree in neuration with pupillana, Linn., and wimmerana, Tr., placed in the genus Semasia by Heinemann, but scarcely with the distinguishing characters of the neuration of the genus as stated by that author in his synopsis (Schmett. p. 100), viz. “ Ast 3. und 4. der Hinterfitigel auf gemeinschaftlichem Stiele ;” and again, in the same volume (Tabelle der Gattungen, p. 2), “ Der Mittelast der Hinterfliigel gegen scinen Ursprung deutlich gebogen und convergirt daselbst mit Ast 4.” In the length of the palpi and in the form of the fore wings it is also somewhat peculiar. I have placed it with some hesitation in this genus, at least provisionally. Semasia artemisiana. (Plate LX XIII. fig. 3.) Head white, tufted in front, with a slight ochreous tinge above, the palpi projecting more SEMASIA. 57 than its length beyond it : antennee with the basal joint thickened.

Expanse of wings 15 millims. September 22nd, 1871, Crooked River, near Klamath Lake, Southern Oregon. The difference in vein 3 of the two hind wings of the male above described led me to re-examine it very carefully ; for had it been a female or an hermaphrodite I should have been disposed to consider this species and the following as only opposite sexes of the same; but the specimen is in all respects a true male, the frenulum on both sides being single; and it differs as decidedly as the female from Semasia sublapidana.

Palpi hirsute, projecting about the length of the head beyond it, roughly clothed with long hair-like scales, mixed greyish white and fuscous; the head and base of antenne roughly clothed and tufted with scales of the same colour: antennz in the male strongly pubescent or ciliated. Fore wings—fully three times as long as wide, the costa almost straight ; apex rounded; apical margin very oblique, the anal angle rather less defined than in the preceding species, giving the wing a more lanceolate appearance—yellowish stone-colour, densely irro- rated with whitish and greyish-fuscous scales ; an indistinct dusky grey line runs along the base of the stone-grey cilia; a line of the same colour along the apical margin is broken into a continued series of indistinct spots: the yellowish-grey ground-colour of the wing is more visible towards the apical margin than in the preceding species.

End of September 1871, near Klamath Lakes, Southern Oregon. This species in general appearance is singularly like the preceding one, S. lapidana; and being from the same locality, I long failed to distinguish them, considering them as only dif- ferent sexes of the same species. The present species is slightly more slender than S. lapidana, and can be at once recognized by the lanceolate appearance of the fore wings, the hirsute palpi, and the very strongly pubescent antennz of the male.

Fore wings—three times as long as wide, the apical margin slightly concave—whitish ochreous with a slight fawn-coloured tinge, streaked and dusted with cinereous ; some abbre- viated streaks along the costa, that in the middle being the most conspicuous; an irrorated cinereous shade along the dorsal half of the wing, extending to the rather ochreous ocellated spot, which contains some lustrous white scales and two black streaks: a cinereous line along the apical margin before the base of the cilia, which are ochreous white, dusted with cinereous. Hind wings very pale greyish white ; cilia white. 2. Expanse of wings 114 millims. April 1872, North Oregon. This species is very like Semasia tenuiana in general appearance, but is smaller and rather more ochreous ; moreover the venation of the hind wings is different, vein 3 having no branch near the hind margin as in that species. Semasia stramineana, (Plate LX XIV. fig. 2.) Head, palpi, antennze, and fore wings pale straw-colour, the latter more than three times as long as wide; the apical margin slightly concave; the male with several short oblique brown streaks from the costa, alternated with shining whitish towards the apex; a slight ochreous shade before the sublustrous ocellated spot, which contains the usual two black streaks ; a narrow brown line along the apical margin, and a line of fuscous scales at the base of the cilia. Female—fore wings nearly unicolorous; the costal streaks and the line along the apical margin scarcely indicated. Hind wings whitish; vein 4 absent. 19,19. Expanse of wings 114 millims.

Hind wings pale brownish grey, with whitish cilia; vein 4 present. 1 g,2 9. Expanse of wings 21 millims. Northern Oregon, April 17th, 1872. This species must be nearly allied to the Grapholitha spiculana of Zeller (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 289, pl. ix. fig. 23); but Prof. Fernald, who is well acquainted with the type in the Cambridge (Mass.) Museum, assures me that it is quite distinct. Through the kindness of Prof. Zeller I have had the opportunity of comparing it with his original drawing of G. spiculana, from which it differs chiefly in the form of the costal markings near the apex and in the more blunted termination of the narrower middle streak, also in the absence of a spot on the middle of the costa. Semasia griseocapitana. (Plate LXXIV. fig. 5.) Head and palpi yellowish white; the palpi roughly clothed with long scales projecting beyond the apical joint, touched with fuscous towards the apex; antenne slightly pubescent in the male. Fore wings—with the costa somewhat arched; hind margin oblique, slightly concave—yellowish white, streaked and irrorated with olive-brown; some straight olive-brown streaks across the middle of the wing near the base, with spots of the sare colour along the costa above them; the costa towards the apex and the upper part of the apical margin yellowish ochreous, streaked obliquely from the costa with brown and shining white ; a con- spicuous shining white wedge-shaped mark near the apex, and a shade of irrorated fuscous 62 TORTRICIDA, scales above the shining white ocellated spot, which contains two or more black streaks or spots; the cilia white, irrorated with fuscous. Hind wing pale brownish grey; vein 4 present. 1 ¢,2 92. Expanse of wings 18 millims. Mount Shasta, &c., California, August and September 1871. Semasia pallidicostana. (Plate LXXIV. fig. 6.) Palpi short, white, clothed to the apex; head white; thorax white, somewhat tinged with grey posteriorly ; antenne greyish. Fore wings—with the costa slightly arched ; apical margin scarcely concave below the apex—olivaceous grey; milky white along the costa, with some fuscous-grey (sometimes pale brownish) oblique streaks beyond the middle ; an ocellated spot above the anal angle, lined with sublustrous grey, narrowly on the outer, widely on the inner edge, with two broken black streaks across it. Hind wings brownish grey, the veins and margins more darkly indicated; vein 4 present; cilia whitish grey. 19,19. Expanse of wings 17 millims. May and June 1871, Sonoma and Lake Counties, California. Allied to the “Anchylopera” striatana of Clemens, which is the “ Pedisca albicepsana”’ of Walker, but wauting the white middle streak along the cell. Semasia infuscana. (Plate LX XIV. fig. 7.) Head cinereous, sometimes brownish above : palpi projecting about the length of the head beyond it; cinereous: antennz pubescent in the male. Fore wings—more than twice as long as wide; apical margin oblique, slightly indented in the middle—cinereous, much clouded with brownish fuscous, especially about the costal half of the wing, the line of demarcation being waved or angulated ; the pale, almost obsolete ocellated spot contains a few black scales, and is preceded by a triangular fuscous-brown shade on the dorsal margin; the apex and upper half of the apical margin brownish, partly obscured by a fuscous shade extending through the cilia. Hind wings pale fuscous; cilia greyish; vein 4 present. 1, 1 9. Expanse of wings 21 millims. San Francisco, May 1871. Semasia? oregonana. (Plate LXXIV. fig. 8.) Head cinereous, tufted above: palpi short; the second joint thickly clothed ; third joint comparatively bare: antennz pubescent in the male. Fore wings fuscous grey, more or less faintly shaded with cinereous or brownish-fuscous streaks and spots. The more usual variety is nearly unicolorous, with a few streaks only visible towards the apical portion of the wing and with a very faintly indicated basal patch outwardly angulated about the middle. A more strongly-marked variety, female, has the basal patch more distinctly defined, covering the basal SEMASIA. 63 third of the wing, with a triangular patch before the anal angle, and some ill-defined small blotches above it towards the apex, with some fuscous streaks passing through or between them from the costa before the apex towards the apical margin and anal angle. The hind wings are pale brownish fuscous, paler beneath, especially in the female: anal tuft with an ochreous tinge in both sexes. 6 ¢,1 9. Expanse of wings 19 millims. I met with this species in some abundance at Camp Watson, on the John Day’s River, about 70 miles from Canyon City, in Oregon, in the beginning of April 1872, and have in my own collection several varieties intermediate between the two above noticed ; but the insect is very plain in its colouring, and, although very distinct, is by no means a striking species. Semasia amphorana. (Plate LX XIV. fig. 9.) Palpi greyish fuscous, depressed, much widened in the middle, thickly clothed to the apex, not twice the length of the head: antenne slightly pubescent in the male; greyish fuscous: head and thorax greyish fuscous. Fore wings—three times as long as wide, the costa nearly straight, with no costal fold in the male; apical margin oblique—whitish grey, almost entirely shaded with fuscous from the base to beyond the middle, leaving only a few wavy grey streaks: beyond the middle is an ocellated mark of the form of a double-handled bottle, extending over the entire width of the wing; the lower half of this within the anal angle is occupied by a collection of twelve rather square black dots in two groups of six each, divided and margined at the sides by shining silvery scales; the upper half is crossed by two transverse greyish-fuscous lines, the short neck of the bottle opening on the costa, the margins and handles being marked out internally with greyish fuscous, externally with sublustrous silvery lines: cilia shining greyish fuscous: underside pale shining yellowish grey. Hind wings pale brownish fuscous; cilia paler. 7 g,1 9. UExpause of wings 17-21 millims. Beginning of April, Camp Watson, on John Day’s River, Oregon. This species greatly resembles Pedisca dodecana of Zeller in the character of its orna- mentation, especially in the cluster of black dots. The absence of a costal fold and the much darker colour of the fore wings at once distinguish it. Semasia refusana, (Plate LX XIV. fig. 10.) Grapholita refusana, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 382. Palpi projecting about the length of the head beyond it, together with the head rough brownish ochreous ; the apical joint not exposed: antenne brownish, slightly pubescent. Fore wings—with the costa slightly arched, apex rounded ; apical margin oblique, slightly indented—dull cinereous ochreous, profusely irrorated with brownish scales, giving the whole wing, excepting the parts adjacent to the costal margin, a dull brownish appearance ; there are some abbreviated brownish streaks towards the apex alternating with silvery-grey metallic lines, which are continued round the margins of the ocellated spot ; this contains five black 64 TORTRICIDA. dots, three before and two beyond a metallic silvery-grey middle streak ; there is a line of brownish scales along the apical margin; and the cilia are much suffused with brownish.

The inner spur of hind tarsi considerably longer than the outer. * darpexos, brush ; gopety, to bear. HYSTRICHOPHORA.—GRAPHOLITHA. 65 This genus may be distinguished from Phowxopteryx, Tr., and from Steganoptycha, H.-S., by its longer and more conspicuous palpi, as well as by the form of their middle joint, from Semasia by its less oblique apical margin and almost falecate apex, and from Pedisca by the absence of a costal fold in the male; whilst the venation of the hind wings separates it from Grapholitha, Tr. It seems, perhaps, more nearly allied to Phowopteryx than to any other genus hitherto characterized ; but until it may find its place in some general revision of the group, the peculiarities of the species under description seem to demand for it a new generic as well as specific definition. Type Hystrichophora leonana. Hystrichophora leonana, (Plate LXXV. figs. 2 & 3.) Palpi three times the length of the head, roughly clothed with long hairs projecting beyond the short apical joint ; tawny fawn-colour: antenne slightly pubescent in the male. The fore wings—fully twice as long as wide, with the costa arched (male without a costal fold), the apex produced, apical margin concave, dorsal margin convex tawny fawn-colour, paler towards the costa, with oblique fulvous costal streaks, the first two or three meeting at right angles above the middle of the wing, others less distinct running to the dorsal margin ; the most conspicuous of these costal streaks, which runs to the middle of the apical margin, is followed by a sublustrous metallic streak of equal length and by some smaller metallic streaks beyond it towards the apex; the ocellated patch contains also some sublustrous metallic scales, and sometimes two or three black dots ; a tawny line runs along the apical margin at the base of the cilia, which are tipped with shining golden brown. Hind wings grey, with paler cilia. 4¢,19. Expanse of wings 19 millims. Var. aurantiana. Fore wings golden saffron streaked with golden brown, paler towards the costa. 22. This cannot be considered a distinct species; it differs only in colour, the shape and position of the markings being the same as in the type. The typical form occurred from the middle of May to the middle of June 1871, in Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino Counties, California; the bright variety in Shasta County in the middle of July. GRAPHOLITHA (H.-S.), Hein. Grapholitha vitrana. (Plate LXXV. fig. 5.) Head greyish fuscous: the palpi short, clothed with long scales below ; the apical joint almost concealed; greyish fuscous, whitish at the sides and beneath: antenne greyish fuscous, simple in both sexes. Fore wings olivaceous fuscous, irrorated about the middle with greyish-white scales, and streaked with slender greyish-white lines on the the apical half ; some dull white geminated streaks on the costa merging into shining brassy lines, two of which enclose the greyish ocellated patch with its few black scales or streaks ; the first of K 66 TORTRICIDA. these two, forming the inner margin of the ocellated patch, is angulated at the middle, becoming as it were a narrow fascia dividing the irrorated from the striated portion of the wing: the cilia are shining brassy, with a fuscous line along their base slightly interrupted below the apex.

Hind wings pale brownish fuscous: cilia whitish. Abdomen fuscous, the segments indicated by greyish-fuscous bands. 1 ¢,19. Expanse of wings 13 millims. Rouge River, South Oregon, May 1872. Grapholitha conversana. (Plate LXXV. fig. 7.) This species differs from the preceding in having a slightly oblique wedge-shaped whitish spot on the middle of the dorsal margin, interrupted (not divided as in G. interstinctana, Clem.) by a short streak of the dark ground-colour, and connected at an angle on the middle of the wing with two metallic costal streaks: the metallic margins of the ocellated patch are not parallel as in G. ceruleana, but slightly converging towards the dorsal margin. 8 36,19. Taken at the beginning of April 1872, at Camp Watson, on John Day’s river; also met with in Central Oregon. Grapholitha lunatana. (Plate LXXV. fig. 8.) Head, antennz, and palpi greyish fuscous. Fore wings—nearly three times as long as wide, the apical margin very oblique, the apex rounded—fuscous brown, with a white slender obliquely crescent-shaped dorsal streak before the middle, above which are two indistinct sublustrous costal streaks ; beyond these is a slender angulated metallic fascia, whitish at the costa, preceding the ocellated patch, which is followed by a similar fascia, and contains some GRAPHOLITHA. 67 black transverse lines; above it, on the costa and between the fascize, are three abbreviated whitish costal streaks, tipped with shining lilac ; and before the apex are two similar streaks, the outer one almost communicating with a pale dot in the cilia below the apex : cilia sublus- trous greyish, with a black line along their base.

Expanse of wings 15-17 millims. About 40 specimens were taken in June 1871, in Mendocino and Lake Counties, California. Var. a. The costal and apical portions of the fore wings mottled brown, with several short whitish geminated costal streaks; the elongated dorsal blotch, as also the head and palpi, ferruginous : antennz brown. Var. 8. The head and palpi reddish brown; the costal and apical portion of the wings reddish brown, mottled with darker brown ; the elongated dorsal blotch and ocellated spot white tinted with ochreous; some short whitish geminated costal streaks. Var. y has the head and palpi, together with the costal half of the fore wings and the ocellated spot, dirty whitish, with some short chocolate-brown costal streaks, the elongated dorsal blotch chocolate-brown, the apex tinged with brownish fuscous. In some varieties the character of the ornamentation is somewhat changed, the dorsal blotch being obsolete or merged in the generally mottled appearance of the wing, in which various shades are represented. Among all these, however, there appeared to be scarcely any variation in size. Later in the year I met with a smaller form, taking sixteen or eighteen specimens on Crooked River, in Oregon, in September. These are exactly similar in structure, but exhibit some differences in the general character of their ornamentation, which leads to a suspicion that they may be found to belong to a separate species. I have figured two of these specimens, in which it will be seen that the dorsal blotch is, as it were, continued into the ocellated patch, dividing the whole length of the wing more distinctly into two halves. Some specimens of the larger form approach this colouring ; but in none is it so distinct, and whereas in those it appears to be the exception, among the smaller specimens taken in September it is almost the rule. I shall not, however, venture to describe those two forms as specifically distinct, but would rather consider the smaller one as the more northern form, or perhaps the second or autumnal brood of the larger. Var. 8. Head, palpi, and cilia yellowish grey: antenne and costal half of fore wings, together with the extreme apical margin, dull brown; the dorsal half, including the obsolete ocellated patch, stone-grey, the division between the two colours evenly undulating. Var. «. Head and elongated dorsal blotch, together with the obsolete ocellated patch, ferruginous ; the costal half and extreme apical margin mottled whitish grey and dark brown, with short geminated pale costal streaks and an undulating line along the middle of the wing. 2,5 9. Expanse of wings 14 millims. 70 TORTRICIDA. PTHOROBLASTIS, Led. Pthoroblastis texanana. (Plate LX XVI. fig. 7.) Palpi short; the apical joint scarcely exposed, together with the head and antenne ochreous drab: thorax stout, dusky drab. Fore wings—more than twice as long as wide, the costa arched; apical margin oblique, scarcely indented below the apex—dull greyish drab, with a narrow obscure reddish-brown fascia from about the middle of the costa, margined on both sides with leaden grey to within the anal angle, forming with two leaden-grey streaks from its outer edge an almost equilateral triangle, from the apex of which a short narrow brown streak runs to the apex of the wing; some short oblique geminated costal streaks and a narrow line along the apical margin dirty whitish, a row of black dots above the anal angle running parallel with the apical margin: cilia dull drab, with a fuscous line along their base. Hind wings fuscous brown. 2 ¢. Expanse of wings 13 millims. Texas, May and July 1875. CARPOCAPSA, 77. Carpocapsa latiferreana. (Plate LX XVI. fig. 8.)

Fore wings— about twice as long as wide, with the costa arched, apical margin scarcely indented below the apex—reddish brown, speckled with grey towards the base, with a broad metallic bronzy median fascia, wider on the dorsal than on the costal margin ; some short geminated whitish- ochreous costal streaks beyond it, which are obliquely produced in shining metallic streaks towards the apical margin, along which runs a narrow black line at the base of the dusky-grey cilia: a large dark-margined metallic bronzy patch lies above the anal angle and before the ocellated patch (which contains some narrow black transverse streaks), with another smaller metallic spot beyond it. The hind wings are fuscous, paler towards the base, with whitish ochreous cilia. 292. Expanse of wings 6-9 lines, Mendocino County, California, June 9th, 1871; also in Southern Oregon, May 1872. This species is very nearly allied to a species of which I have specimens from the Eastern States, and which Professor Fernald informs me is likely to be described by Professor Riley under the name of orichalceana; but the Western form now figured differs in its much wider metallic fascia, in the metallic patch above the anal angle not being produced as a second fascia to the costa, and in the costal streaks being less oblique and more distinct. I will not, however, anticipate the description of the allied species, which is not in the British-Museum collection. In this genus Walker describes :— Carpocapsa distigmana, Walk., = “ Pecilochroma” dorsisignatana, Clem. inexpertana, Walk. : see Penthina hebesana, p. 31. ferrolineana, Walk., = Sericoris coruscana, Clem. clavana, Walk., = Ezartema inornatanum, Clem.

Anchylopera spireeefoliana, Clem., Grote §° Rob. Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, ii. p. 84. Head and antenne brownish, the palpi white, with the apical joimt scarcely exposed. Fore wings—with the costa arched, the apex produced and faleate—white, with a conspicuous roddish-brown patch along the dorsal margin, gradually widening from the base to the middle, obliquely margined externally ; beyond it is a costal streak of the same colour, running parallel to its oblique outer margin, blending with a faint ferruginous shade beyond the middle of the wing: three small dark brown (almost fuscous) triangular oblique costal dashes, each followed by a minute streak of the same colour, blend into a pale ferruginous grey shade, containing two black streaks, which follows the apical margin to the anal angle and dorsal margin: there is a conspicuous triangular brownish-fuscous spot at the apex, and a minute line below it, dividing the cilia, which are white, with a slender line along their base. Hind wings very pale grey or cinereous. Type ¢. Expanse of wings 15 millims. Nova Scotia. From Lieut. Redman’s collection. There are two species under the above name in the British-Museum collection. The first two specimens of the series are undoubtedly G. discoferana, Walk.; the last three only are P. discigerana. Messrs. Grote and Robinson (Insect Tracts N. America, vol. 1.) hold that G. discigerana, Walk., is identical with “ Anchylopera” spireefoliana, Clem., and consider G. discoferana, Walk., a synonym of A. dubiana, Clem. I should have been disposed to refer the two upper specimens and G. discoferana to spireefoliana, Clem., and to maintain the PHOXOPTERYX. re) distinctness of the present P. discigerana, which appears to differ from P. spireefoliana in its less shaded and suffused apical margin and anal angle, as well as in its much larger average size. It differs from its European ally (P. dundana) in the whiter ground-colour of the fore wings, and in the conspicuous white dash beyond the first large costal streak. I have a considerable series of P. discigerana from California, and two specimens of G. discoferana, which I had certainly thought were only darkish varieties of A. spireefoliana, Clem., as they agree well with that species in the form and position of their markings ; but I am not sufficiently acquainted with A. dubiana to feel sure upon this point. If they are really the same as dubiana, Walker’s name “discoferana” must take precedence. Grapholita metamelana, Walk., must, I think, be considered only a small variety of discigerana. This specimen is a female from Mr. Carter’s collection, and has been accidentally redescribed by Mr. Walker in his Supplement. Phoxopteryx pacificana. (Plate LX XVII. fig. 4.) Head much tufted above ; palpi extending the length of the head beyond it, fully clothed, both dark purplish grey ; antenne the same. Fore wings—with the costa much arched— rather shining leaden grey, streaked and irrorated with rich reddish brown, of which colour there is also an elongated patch occupying more than the first third of the dorsal margin and extending half across the cell; its oblique outer edge sharply defined ; an oblique fascia from the middle of the costa to within the anal angle, with an acute projecting angle on the middle of its outer edge; on the costa before it are several abbreviated oblique streaks, and beyond it three more conspicuous triangular ones, with pale geminated streaks between them: the falcate apex is of the same rich reddish brown ; and an oblique elongated spot lies between it and the angle of the central fascia: cilia shining whitish grey, with a geminated white streak running through them below the sharply falcate apex. Hind wings and cilia pale brownish. 13,3 2. Expanse of wings 18-22 millims. Mendocino County, June 10th, 1871, and Rouge River, Southern Oregon, May 1872. Phoxopteryx apicana.

Fore wings ferruginous, with the apex falcate and the costa arched; the basal and subcostal portion more deeply shaded, interrupted by a geminated oblique bluish costal streak, which meets at an angle about the middle of the wing a pale bluish dorsal blotch, forming with it an indistinct angulated fascia bounding the basal patch: there are some whitish abbreviated costal streaks from which bluish lines run to form the margins of the ill-defined ocellated patch above the anal angle ; a short fuscous line running along the middle portion of the apical margin: the cilia are greyish fuscous, with a shining silvery line along their base, and two whitish spots below the apex. Hind wings brownish fuscous; cilia paler. Type ¢. Expanse of wings 9 millims. 74 TORTRICIDA. Nova Scotia, from Lieut. Redman’s collection. I also met with this species, at the beginning of June 1872, in Southern Oregon. Nearly allied to P. muricana, of which it may be the Western representative form; but it wants the beautiful steel-blue at the base of the wing, and is generally a plainer and less distinctly marked species. Phoxopteryx muricana, (Plate LX XVII. fig. 6.) Palpi short, whitish, the apical point almost concealed: head and patagia pale ferru- ginous: antenne slightly darker; thorax purplish grey. Fore wings—the costa arched ; apex faleate—with the basal portion (nearly half) steel-blue towards the costa, blending into reddish brown outwardly along the dorsal margin, bounded on the dorsal half by a whitish oblique patch, and on the costal half by a reddish-brown or ferruginous ill-defined fascia, which is connected on its outer edge with a ferruginous shade towards the apex: several very short oblique whitish costal streaks, prolonged in blue lines towards the upper edge of the pale ocellated patch, of which the inner half is suffused with shining steel-blue ; there is a shining silvery line at the base of the pale ochreous cilia. Hind wings brownish fuscous ; cilia paler. Type 2. LExpanse of wings 10 millims. Beginning of May 1871, Washington. Phoxopteryx divisana. (Plate LX XVII. fig. 7.) Grapholita divisana, Walk. Cat. Lep.
