10 THE KNTOMOLOGIST, 



Larva slender. — Laiiciata, Pusillata, Fraxinata, Innotata, 

 Indigata, Constrictata, Assirailata, Coronata. 



I have placed Coronata last in the arrangement, because I 

 hardly know a better place for it. 1 may say of Togata I 

 know nothing of its larva, though I spent a jolly day at Black 

 Park, Bucks, with my old friend the late Edward Hopley, 

 after the perfect insect, in July, 1862 ; and the description 

 given in Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ix. p. 114, being vi^ithout size or 

 shape, does not help me to place it. The author, it is true, 

 giv^es some characters, but these only confound confusion ; 

 be says, " central," " dorsal," " subdorsal," &c. ; and as I 

 have always thought the dorsal line or marking was the 

 central line or marking (on the back), I begin to think 

 "things is getting mixed," when we have both central and 

 dorsal, especially as further on he says: "An odd, internal- 

 looking animal, strongly resembling a miniature Cossus 

 ligniperda" ! but as I fail to find any remarks about the red 

 marks or blotches so conspicuous upon the larva of C. ligni- 

 perda, 1 cannot connect them, or see any resemblance from 

 this vague description. I purpose placing this insect in a 

 new genus ; and with one more remark shall close this paper. 

 Egenata is another form, which I treat as a variety of Innotata ; 

 hence have omitted it from the list of species. 



1 am aware that some of my friends will differ from me in 

 this, but, nevertheless, I hold to my opinion at present. 

 When I am shown 1 am in error, 1 shall gladly admit that I 

 did not know as much to-day as I may to-morrow; and 

 nothing will give me more pleasure than to be corrected, if, 

 trusting to my memory of our pug larvae (some of them not 

 having been bred or even seen by me for nearly twenty 

 years), 1 have misplaced or malplaced them, my object 

 being simply to place them less incongruously than they at 

 present stand in our books and in our cabinets.
