OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XI, 1909 201 A NEW TORTRICID OF ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. [Lepidoptera, Tortricifht. ] BY AUGUST BUSCK. Amorbia emigratella,new species. Male and female. Female. Basal joint of labial palpi short, ochreous; second joint long, porrected, rust-red, with a violaceous sheen on the tip ; terminal joint short, reddish brown, shaded with black. Face behind the palpi short-scaled, whitish; head reddish brown, mixed with ochreous and uith a short pointed frontal tuft. Antennae reddish brown, simple. Thorax and patagia uniformly dark brown. Fore wings with base .of costa strongly arched; costal and dorsal edges nearly parallel; apex squarely pointed; termen slightly sinuate below apex, thence evenly rounded; ochreous brown, shading into light ochreous on the terminal third: the edge between two colors is not sharply drawr. but the limits are still quite distinct, the lighter color occupying the an a below a straight line from basal fourth of the dorsal edge to apex. From just before the middle of costa runs an indistinct, dark bluish-gray band obliquely outward towards tornus, but fades out in the ochreous part of the wing and is even interrupted in the brown costal part : parallel with this is another similarly colored, but less distinct . streak at apical third, also disappearing in the light portion of tin-wing. On the dorsal edge at basal fourth and at the middle are two short dark gray streaks, parallel with the costal streaks. The entire wing is finely mottled with a close transverse apparently darker striation, which is produced by transverse rows of slightly elevated scales. These markings are of varying intensity in different specimens. some showing hardly any trace of the darker cross-bands and having the ground-color lighter and nearly unmottled except for the tine transverse striation caused by the slightly raised rows of scales. Hindwings light straw-yellow, with the apex mottled with dark hnmn and black and with the costal cilia absent and abruptly beginning again just before the tip of the wing. Cilia straw-white. Underside of the forewings reddish ochreous, with a blackish terminal line before the cilia. Abdomen light yellow. Legs straw-yellow : tin-anterior and middle legs shaded with reddish brown exteriorly and with the tarsi faintly annulated. Alar expanse, 27-29 mm. Male. Of considerably smaller size and of a general lighter color Forewings nearly uniformly light ochreous without the darker ba-.,l and costal shade. The first costal dark streak is represented by a dark bluish brown triangular spot, terminating in a nearly black dot;
