Genera Depressaria, &^c. 169 



Sp. 47. Heracleana, De Geer, II. 1, 294, Z., St. 

 Heraclei, Haw. 

 Umhellana, F. 



A common species ; the larva plentiful in June and July on 

 Heracleum sphondylium, from which I have myself bred it. 



Linnaeus appears to have had a confused notion of his hera- 

 cleana, since he says in the Fauna Suecica : — " Hujus plures 

 species apud nos sunt, quae magnitudine differunt, sed notis spe- 

 cificis non facile distinguuntur." The heracleana of the Linnaean 

 Cabinet is, as observed by Haworth, a specimen of applana, 



f Sp. 48. Dictamnella, F. v. R., Tr., Z., D. 



The largest species of the genus, and most distinct. It 

 occurs in Hungary, and the larva feeds on Dictamnus albus in 

 June. 



Supplemental Note. — I have now concluded the enumeration 

 of the species which are known and described by recent authors, 

 and will now just refer to two species, which appear to have 

 escaped the observation of the present generation of collectors. 

 In the first place, there is the rutana of Fabricius, which is evi- 

 dently a Depressaria. "Alae depressae fuscae, lineolis abbreviatis, 

 numerosissimis, tenuissimis, transversis, albis. Praeterea puncto 

 duo parva, elevata, approximata, atra in medio." F. 3, 2, 287. 

 •'Habitat in Galliae Ruta, cujus folia contorquet." And secondly, 

 the zephjrella of Hiibner (not of Stephens), whose figure is 

 copied by Wood, No. 1193. Treitschke gives this as a synonyme 

 oi his zephyrella, which Zeller unhesitatingly gives as a synonyme 

 of terrella, but has not given zephyrella, Hiibner, as a synonyme, 

 nor given any reason for omitting it. Hiibner's figure resembles 

 no Gelechia that I know, and has much more the appearance of a 

 Depressaria. 



The Hcemylis Lefehvriella of Duponchel, pi. 290, fig. 11, is not 

 a Depressaria ; it is the Rceslerstammia Heleniella of Zeller, the 

 Jcrolepia autumnilella of Curtis, and the Tortrix (Eupoecilia, St.) 

 pygmceana of Haworth and Stephens. 



As so many of our entomologists are in possession of Wood's 

 Index Entomologicus, the figures in which are mostly very good 

 (but from the defective nomenclature, the work has now become
