1873.] 37 



The pynonymy of these two forms will therefore be as follows : 

 PJlugiana, Haw., Steph., Wood (902). 

 stictana, var. a ( $ ), Haw. 

 sticticana ( ? ), Steph., Wood (906). 

 scutulana, Wilk., St. Man. (non Treitschke, &c.). 



novana, Gru. (prsec. A'ar. ?). 



It seems doubtful whether Dr. Wocke was acquainted with this 

 species, since he makes scutulana, Treitschke, as well as scutulana, 

 Wilk. (Sta. Man.), identical with PJlugiana, Haw. 



Salonota Brunnichiana, Froel. — I have not found this species so 

 generally common as Wilkinson represents, and think it exists only 

 where the coltsfoot is plentiful. 



Halonota tetragonana, Steph. — I strongly suspect that the larva 

 of this species feeds in the stems or roots of Tamus communis, having 

 always found it flying about and settling on that plant. There must 

 surely be some error in Wilkinson's statement that the full-fed larva 

 may be found, in the antumn, under moss on beech trees. From larvas 

 found in such a situation Lord Walsingham reared Carpocapsa 

 nimhana. 



Prof. Zeller tells me that his cnicicolana from Syracuse is very 

 similar to this species, but with narrower wings and a different ocellus. 



Salonota turbidana, Treitschke. 



Halonota grandoevana, Zeller. — Already recorded and described, 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. ix, p. 272. 



Salonota inopiana, Haw. — Dr. Wocke places this species (forming 

 a sub-genus Idiograpliis) between Ptycholoma Lecheana and Lozo- 

 tcsnia musculana and linifasciana, referring to Haworth, Stephens, and 

 Wood, and quoting centrana, H.-S., as a synonym ; but he again quotes 

 it from Wilkinson, as a synonym of hepatariana, H.-S., placing 350 

 species between the two references. The latter is a mistake, since 

 hepatariana, H.-S., is rather smaller, and has black hind-wings, while 

 centrana, H.-S., is unquestionably our insect. Haworth's name has 

 the precedence. 



Salonota foenell a, Linn. 



Salonota costipunctana, Haw. — This species is omitted by Wilkin- 

 son, but included in Mr. Doubleday's list, where, however, gallicolana, 

 Zell., is appended as a synonym. This seems to have arisen from a 

 mistake of Stephens', and gallicolana has since been ascertained to be 

 a distinct species. It is, however, so closely allied to ohscurana, Steph., 

 which Wilkinson placcfs in the genus Semasia, that it will be necessary 

 to notice it along with that species.
