Notes on some Tortricid genera. 



By August Busck. 



In his Handbook British Lepidoptera (1895) Meyrick in- 

 cludes Clemens' genus Exartema in the European fauna on the 

 mistaken supposition that it is equivalent to Lederer's idea of 

 Eccopsis Zeller, and continental authors (Rebel & Baron de 

 Crombrugghe de Picquendaele) have adopted this synonomy. 



Meyrick defines Clemens' genus correctly, though not ex- 

 haustively, but the single European species included, lati- 

 fasciana Haworth, does not answer to this description, having 

 veins 3 and 4 in the hind wings distinctly separate, not con- 

 nate or short-stalked as in the type and in the other American 

 species of the genus. Moreover, the hind wings in latifasciana 

 are narrower than the forewings instead of broader, as in 

 Clemens' genus, and the form of the hind wings is quite dif- 

 ferent, termen being very oblique and nearly straight, while 

 in the American forms it is less oblique, sinuate below apex and 

 bulging out at veins 3, 4 and 5 ; and the dorsal edge is evenly 

 rounded in latifasciana, not sharply incised at vein as is char- 

 acteristic of the genus Exartema. 



There is, however, another European species, which is in 

 every respect identical in structure with Exartema, namely 

 Hartigiana Ratzeburg, and Lederer's genus Cymolomia pre- 

 cedes and must therefore supplant Clemens' genus. 



No existing generic name seems applicable to the genus with 

 latifasciana as type and it may be known as Loxoterma, which 

 name thus stands for Eccopsis Lederer (non Zeller), and 

 Exartema Meyrick (non Clemens).

 metallic green, with the following exceptions; legs pale straw-yellow,
