LITHOCOLLETIS CORYLIFOLIELLA. [PlATE II. FiG. 1. 



the '' Lepidoptera Britannica" at p, 

 5(S0, under the name of Tifiea Cory- 

 Ufohella ; suhsequently described by 

 Stephens in his " Illustrations," Haus- 

 teUata, vol. iv. p. 258, as Argyro- 

 miges CorylifoUdla, and by Stainton 

 in the Zoologist for 1848, p. 2156, 

 under the same name. 



In 1852 Stainton described it in 

 the *' Entomologische Zeitung" at p. 

 d>b as Lithucolletis Corylifuliella, and 

 under this name it has since been 

 described again by him in the "Insecta 

 Britannica," by Herrich-Schaflfer in 

 his " Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 and by Frey in the *' Tineen und 

 Pterophoren der Schweiz." 



Hiibner's figure of Corylifoliella, 

 which Havvorth had thought identical 

 with tlie species he described, can of 

 course only be referred to as a very 

 doubtful synonym, it representing 

 rather the whole group than any 

 single species. The description 

 in Stephens's "Illustrations" of Ar- 

 gyromiges nlmifuUella was, I be- 

 lieve, made from worn specimens 

 of this insect, and it can therefore 

 only be referred to as an ambiguous 

 synonym. 



The entire synonymy will there- 

 fore stand th_us : —

mier I'a decrite dans son ouvrage " Le- 

 pidoptera Britannica," a p. 580, sous 

 le nom de Tinea Corylifoliella ; plus 

 tard Stephens en a presente la de- 

 scription sous le nom 6! Argyromiges 

 Corylifuliella, dans ses " Illustrations" 

 Hausttllata, tome iv. p. 258, et Stain- 

 ton dansle '* Zoologist" pour 1848, a 

 la p. 2156, sous ce meme nom. En 

 1 852 Stainton la decrivit dans I' " En- 

 tomologische Zeitung," a la p. 85, 

 comme Lithocolletis Corylifoliella, et 

 sous ce nom il I'a encore decrite dans 

 r *' Insecta Britannica ; " Herrich- 

 Schafferl'a decrite dans ses "Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa," et Frey dans 

 ses " Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz." La figure donnee par 

 Hiibner de la Corylifoliella que Ha- 

 worth a crue identique avec son es- 

 pece ne pent etre consideree que 

 comme un synonyme bien douteux, 

 puisque cette figure convient plutot 

 au groupe tout entier, qu'a une espece 

 particuliere quelconque. La de- 

 scription publiee par Stephens dans 

 ses "Illustrations" de V Argyromiges 

 iilmifoliella, a ete faite, si je ne me 

 trompe, d'apres des individus mal 

 conserves de cet insecte, et ne sau- 

 rait done etre qu'un synonyme in- 

 certain. 



La synonymie complete sera done 

 comme suit.
