not thought it necessary to include E. fmnsoersus, 01, in the above 

 table, the shape of the thorax being quite different ; while U. minutus, 

 L, comes in another subgenus {Gonithassa, Thorns.). 



We have now as British all the European species in the subgenus 

 Emcmus, i. sp., except two from the Caucasus {i. e. duUus, Mann , and 

 mannerheimi, Kolen.). Those who desire a detailed description of E 

 ^^^-^eo/^. cannot do better than refer to M. Belon's " Lathridiens " 

 (Lyons ed., p. 332)- The insect has hitherto only been recorded from 

 Scandinavia, Moravia, Silesia, and Transylvania. 



Mr. Britten took the species in some small numbers in dry fun^i 

 on a tree at Edenhall, Cumberland, May 13th, 1906.

[The insect recorded by me fron. Aviemore (Ent. Mo. Mag., xi, p. 64) under 

 the name Lathridins rugoms must be referred to E.fungicola. Mr. Tomlin has 

 also taken it at Cannock Chase. --G. C. CI. 



EXARTEMA LATIFASCIANA, Hw., ab. VINE AN A, n. ab. 

 BY EUSTACE R. BANEES, M.A., F.E.S. 



Of this exceedingly local and usually scarce Tortrix, more gene- 

 rally known in Britain as Sericoris latifascmna, Mr. A.. C. Vine some 

 years ago, met with an interesting recurrent aberration which seems 

 certainly worthy of a special name, and with which it affords me great 

 pleasure to associate his own. It occurred, though very rarely, in 

 Abbotts' Wood, Sussex, where the three examples that Mr Vine 

 generously gave me were taken by him in 1890 and 1S91 from a single 

 ash tree, which yielded him three or four others, together with t'he 

 whole of the le.igthy series of typical specimens that he then secured 

 This aberration differs from the type in that the conspicuous yellow 

 fascia and the yellow markings of the fore-wing are obsolete, thouc^h 

 the leaden-grey lines that accompany them remain, and are, except for 

 a few pale flecks on the costa, the only markings on the deep fuscous 

 ground-colour. 



Two of my specimens have the cilia of the fore-wing uniformly 

 dark fuscous, but in the third they are ochreous, blotched with dark 

 fuscous, as in the type, with which, however, all three agree in having 

 the palpi white and the crown of the head ydlow. Whereas some 

 authors, e. g., Wilkinson, Stainton, and Meyrick, have described the 

 fore-wings of latifasciana as yellow with fuscous markings, it seems
