THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 37 
wood where it occurred has been closed to entomologists and the 
public. It has also been taken in Tilgate Forest. 
S. amenana, Hub.=incarnatana, Hub.— Appears both scarce 
and local in these counties. On one occasion I took a couple of 
specimens by beating wild roses on Box Hill, but have not worked 
the locality since. It has not been included in any list I have 
received. 
S. suffusana, Zell.—-Not uncommon among whitethorn, but is 
not a free flyer when disturbed. By beating whitethorn hedges 
into an umbrella in the early part of May several pupe of this 
species may be obtained. If the Tortrix collector selects a 
favourable hedge for this kind of work, which should be fairly 
close-trimmed but not thinned, he will find an afternoon’s work 
very profitable, as, besides this species, he may reckon on a series 
of Sideria achatana and Sciaphila nubilana, with a large proportion 
of females of the latter. 
S. rosecolana, Dbld.—Not uncommon among wild and culti- 
vated roses, and generally distributed. The imago appears in 
June and July, and may be distinguished from the following 
species, which it closely resembles, by its rounded costa, and also 
by its earlier appearance. 
S. roborana, Treit.—Fairly common among roses. The imago 
seldom appears before August, when S. rosecolana is over. 
Pardia tripunctana, Fab.— Common everywhere. 
Aspis Udmanniana, Linn.—Common throughout. It may be 
bred in plenty from shoots of bramble (Rubus), which the larva 
curls round and unites with the last leaf, making a very 
conspicuous bunch. 
Sideria achatana, S. V.—Not uncommon among whitethorn ; 
it appears to prefer hedges that are kept cut tolerably close. 
When beaten out it usually flies down or drops, and is more often 
to be found near the bottom of the hedge, whence the pupa may 
also be beaten. When bred the colours of this insect are very 
bright. It is commoner in Surrey than in the other two counties, 
but in neither is it scarce.
