It is a very common species, altliongli rather local. In our own 



neighbourhood it may be got in abundance (esjDecially the larvae) 



in Cadder Wilderness, and at Bishopton, and the country 



around there. 



Phyllotoma aceris. 



Phyllotoma aceris, Kaltenbach, Die Pflanzenfeinde, 91; M'Lacli- 

 lan, Ent. M. M., iv., 104; Healy, /. c, 107. 



Black, shining, smaller than nemorata; antennae 10-12 jointed ; 

 fuscous testaceous at the apex. The wings half-smoky, un- 

 clouded ; the face above has more black on it, there being no 

 white above the antennas. Pronotum lined with white; tegulaj 

 obscure white; abdomen quite black, except that the edges of the 

 segments are sometimes faint white, but there are never distinct 

 white markings. Feet white; femora for the greater part black. 

 The male I do not know. Length 1 J-lf lines. 



Easily known from nemorata by the absence of a distinct fascia 

 in the anterior wings. 



The larva mines the leaves of the maple in June and July. It 

 is common in the London districts, but has not yet been met 

 with in Scotland. 



B. Antennae 12-13 jointed. Abdomen black entirely, or white under- 

 neath. Feet pale yellow, black at the base. Wings smoky, clear at the 

 apex. Only one s,^ec\e^ — ochropoda. 



Phyllotoma ochropoda. 



Emphytus ochropodus, Klug.; Blattw., No. 182; Hartig, Blattw., 

 u., Holzw, 255, 1. Heterarthriis ochropodus, Stephens, 111. vii., 94. 

 Fhyllotoma ochropoda, Thomson, Hymen. Scand., i., 177, 2. 



Black, shining; inner orbits of the eyes, labrum; clypeus, partly; 

 palpi and trochanters white. Feet pale yellow, verging to tes- 

 taceous; coxae and base of femora black. Wings dark, smoky; 

 apex hyaline. Length 2 J- lines. 



The male has not been described, unless it be that which 

 Thomson doubtt'ally describes as the male of nemorata. It has 

 the antennas 13 jointed — thicker and longer than in the'female — 

 the two basal joints white, the rest dull brown; the face with a 

 greater amount of white; pronotum, sides of the breast and 

 teguhe, clear yellow-white; base of coxas, trochanters, extreme 

 base of femora, and alxlomen beneath, white. AV^ings almost 

 hyaline, with a slightly darker cloud in the middle.
