This appears to be a rare species. I have only seen one specimen, which 1 ' 

 captured some years ago upon Shirley Heath. It is characterized by having the| 

 palpi yellow with black tips, as in P. nigritarsis, Zett., which species it a good deal 

 resembles, but from which it difPers by having the shoulders and scutellum yellow, 

 and the abdominal segments of the female marked by transverse black lines.

I bred two females of this species from larvae which had mined, or rather, 

 blotched, the leaves of garden beet in August, 1886. This shows that phytophagous ' 

 insects do not always confine themselves very closely to plants of the same family.

IlUbner figured this Tortrix, his No. 75 (before the year 1801), 

 under the name of permixtana. He subsequently figured another 

 insect as permixtana, his No. 187, under the impression that the 

 latter was reallj^ the permixtana of the Wiener Verzeichniss, and not 

 wishing to have two species both bearing the name of permixtana, he, 

 in 1816, in his Verzeichniss bekannter Schmetterlinge, proposed the 

 name reliquana for his earlier figured species No. 75, so long known 

 in this country and abroad as permixtana. 



Stephens, in his Museum Catalogue of Tortrices, published in 

 1852, reverted to the name given by Hiibner in his Verzeichniss to hin 

 figure No. 75, and hence reliquana came into our lists, but the reliquana 

 of Hiibner never did mean anything hut permixtana, Hiibner, No. 75, 

 as distinct from permixtana, Hiibner, No. 187.
