For \ell an odd prime, XS4()X_{S_4}(\ell) is the modular curve XHX_H for HGL2(Z^)H\le \GL_2(\widehat\Z) the inverse image of the subgroup of PGL2(Z/Z)\PGL_2(\Z/\ell\Z) isomorphic to S4S_4 (which is unique up to conjugacy). It parameterizes elliptic curves whose mod-\ell Galois representation has projective image S4S_4, one of the three exceptional groups A4A_4, A5A_5, S4S_4 of PGL2()\PGL_2(\ell) that can arise as projective mod-\ell images, and the only one that can arise for elliptic curves over Q\Q.
