condition, but the central fascia appears to be narrower and more 

 evenly distributed towards the costa, thus agreeing with Wocke's 

 description. From this single specimen it would be rash to pronouce 

 it distinct from Heydeniatia ; but a specimen taken at Cannes, last 

 April, agrees so closely with Herrich-Schiiffer's fig. 369 (plate lii), as to 

 leave little doubt that this is the species figured, and it is obviously 

 distinct from Hej/deniana ; the figure was probably taken from a 

 specimen referred to in the description as collected by Salviano in 

 Italy. Dr. Wocke wrote the pai't of Staudinger's Catalogue dealing 

 with the Tortricida, and he gives Heijdeniana and implicitana as dis- 

 tinct species. The type of implicitana was, of course, well known to 

 Wocke, as it was described by him in the letter referred to above. 

 Staudinger acquired Herrich-Schaffer's collection ; so it is presumable 

 that Wocke was acquainted with the type of Heydeniana. Since 

 Wocke had such facilities for comparing these two species, it would 

 be rash, without an independent comparison of the types, to say that 

 he was mistaken in regardino; them as distinct. 



The species occurring in this country on Antheinis seems to be 

 undoubtedly Heydeniana, H.-S. Without professing to give its full 

 synonymy, I may mention that von Heinemann is right in identifying 

 it with anthemidana (Curt.), Wilk. The species which stands under 

 this name in British collections is well known to all Norfolk collectoi's 

 as feeding in the flowers of Eriyeron acre, a plant which, in common 

 with Eriyeron canadense, is widely distributed over the light soils in 

 the neighbourhood of the breck sands of the Brandon district. There 

 is no suspicion that this species ever feeds on Anthemis ; I have taken 

 it in Kent, where Eriyeron was abundant, and have received it from 

 Mr. Farn from Sussex, but it is quite distinct from the species feeding 

 on Anthemis, and has not yet received a specific name. Having been, 

 I think, the first to observe it some 25 years ago, I may, perhaps, be 

 permitted to supply the omission.
