British Species of the Genus Gelechia of Zeller. l 2Al 



Vol. i. n.s., p. 14, No. 42. G. paucipunctella. Zeller has found his 



first opinion that this species was 

 identical with paucipunctella, Metz. 

 was erroneous ; he had founded it on 

 seeing a specimen, not in the finest 

 condition, which I had sent to him. 

 I have accordingly called it Metzne- 

 riella. (Sta. Cat. Supp.) 



,, ,, 16, ,, 46. G. JEthiops. Mr. Edleston informs me 



this species has nothing to do with 

 poplars, as I supposed, but that it is 

 taken on Chat moss in black places 

 that have been burned, of which it is 

 exactly the colour. 



„ „ 17, ,, 49. G. qffinis. I have some specimens of 



which I am in doubt whether they 

 should be referred to this species or

 another opportunity. 



,, „ 18, „ 54. G. nigrovittella. This is the Tinea 



gemmella of the Linnean cabinet, and 

 it also agrees with the description in 

 the " Fauna Suecica." I am indebted 

 to Mr. Stainton for calling my atten- 

 tion to the Linnean specimen. Linne 

 appends to his description the obser- 

 vation — " Hab. intra quercus folia, 

 subcutanea," which may now lead to 

 the finding of the larva. 



„ ,, 19, ,, 57. G. costella. Mr. Stainton found the 



larvae of this species on Solanum 

 Dulcamara, feeding on and in the 

 leaves, fruit and stems. (Proceed, 

 p. 114.) 



,, ,, 21, ,, 60. G. Walkeriella. I find this name must 



drop, Mr. Westwood having, in 1845 

 (Humph. B. Moths, ii. 192), de- 

 scribed this species under the name 

 of " Anacampsis fuscipennis, Haw. 

 MSS." Mr. Westwood 's remark, 

 that " the species appears to approach 

 Cleodora Cytisella," induced me to
