from a Paper hy Zeller on Tinea. 127 



" Sp. G. FrangideUa, Goeze." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 295. 

 This is the species described by me, (Zoologist, p. 2160,) as 

 rhamnifoUeUa, Tischer, (described by Fischer), which name, how- 

 ever must sink, Goeze's name having priority by more than forty 

 years. Goeze does not describe the species himself, but refers to 

 De Geer's description and figure. The name, as it appears in his 

 Entom. Beitrage, vol. 4, p. 1G9, is frangutella, which is evidently 

 a misprint for frangulella. 



" Sp. 7. Htppocastanella, Dup." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 297. 



This is the tiliella, Dale, (in litteris), and has not yet been 

 described as British. Mr. Dale took his specimens in Leigh 

 Woods, near Bristol, May 20th, 1845, flying amongst limes. 



" The fine brown long line on the yellow anterior wings, from 

 the middle to the apex of the wing, well distinguishes this 

 species." 



" This species is very abundant near Berlin, on old chesnut 

 trees and limes." " I found it solitarily near Glogau, in a wood, 

 and at Probsthainer Spitzberge ; in both places only on lime 

 trees." " It occurs in Silesia, also near Warmbrunn." " In Li- 

 vonia, where Madame Lienig found the larvae on limes, birches, 

 and alders." " The perfect insect flies in May and June, and 

 must, since Madame Lienig observed a second brood of the larva, 

 fly a second time in Jidy and August." 



" Sp. 8. Nigricomella, Z." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 299. 

 Vol. 2, pi. 2, f. 47. 



" The very shiny, nearly bronze-coloured anterior wings, and 

 the black hairs on the head, are peculiar to this among all its 

 congeners." 



I was at first strongly inclined to imagine this our atricapitella, 

 but the size, " nearly the size of gnaphaliella," (which latter 

 species Zeller compares to Boyerella,) appears to me an insur- 

 mountable objection; added to which, Zeller says, "Antennae 

 brownish, with the apex whitish," a peculiarity that atricapitella 

 does not possess. 



" Scarce in Bohemia, near Nixdorf and Reichstadt, in woods, in 

 June and August; near Glogau likewise it is not abundant; 

 Madame Lienig also took it in Livonia in May ; Mann took three 

 specimens near Pisa, on the 19th May, on dry grass-plats."
