name, I am happy to announce the 
occurrence of a Eupithecia new to 
science, in England. I had long 
suspected that our British Eup. In - 
notaia must be distinct from the 
typical continental Eup. lnnotata.

our ash feeding species could be the 
same as the continental wormwood 
feeding insect. I determined, there- 
fore, with the help of a continental 
friend, to investigate and set the 
matter at rest. During the past
