Heclya neglecfana. 



This species occurs in my garden at Hart every year — the 

 larva feeds upon Canadian balsam poplars, and the moth sits 

 upon the trunks of the trees generally, but occasionally on the 

 branches and leaves, flying about the trees on fine still nights, 

 I have also met with it at Greatham on aspen, and Mr. Corder 

 informs me that it is by no means uncommon among poplars at 

 Sunderland.

Anchylopera ra'mella-=zlactana. 



Mr. C. 0. Trechmann has turned up this species commonly 

 among aspens at Edderacres Wood near Castle Eden.

Poecilochronia hoiichardana. 



Another record is that Mr. T. A. Lofthouse took a specimen 

 at Eothbury, Northumberland, on June 27th, 1909.

Endopisa germarana, Hlib. 



Mr. Bankes writes, "for " E. germarana, Hlib." read ^' E. 

 roseticolana, Z." While fully realising that you have made it 

 your rule to follow Stainton's {i.e. Wilkinson's) nomenclature, 

 and having no criticisms to make wherever the names he uses 

 are either those that should be employed or correct synonyms 

 of them, it is utterly opposed to all laws of zoological nomen- 

 clature to adopt a name which he erroneously uses, and attach 

 it to the name of the original nomenclator where the latter 

 employed it in a totally different sense. Your species " 144" 

 is obviously the one that feeds in the hips of wild rose ; it is 

 therefore 7iot " E. germarana, Hb." as entered — which is an 

 entirely different species — but is '^ E. roseticolana, Z.," by 

 which name it ought to be known. If you are anxious to 

 adhere to the name Stainton uses, the only permissible method 

 of doing so is to enter it as " 144. E. germarana, Stn. {neo.
