LITHOCOLLETIS FAGINELLA. [PlaTE III. FiG. 3. 



Frey also describes it under the 

 name of Fagiiiella. About two 

 years after the publication of the 

 note which first gave the insect the 

 name of Faginella, Stainton described 

 specimens of this insect in the 

 '' Zoologist" for 1848 as Argyromiges 

 Pomojiclla, but without discriminating 

 them from other allied species, and 

 Nicelli, in the " Entomologische 

 Zeitung" for 1851, was guilty of a 

 nearly similar error. In 1849 Sir- 

 corn described in the " Zoologist" 

 this insect as Lithocolletis Fagijo- 

 liella. In 1848 Stainton described 

 in the " Zoologist" a variety of 

 this species under the name of 

 Argyromiges securiferella. The 

 Lithocolletis Pomunella of Zeller, in 

 the " Linnsea Entomologica," Vol. 

 I., no doubt includes this species 

 along with several of its allies, and 

 the Elachista Blanchardella of Zetter- 

 stedt's '* Insecta Lapponica," may 

 have been intended for this species. 

 As far back as 1764, Miiller de- 

 scribed, in the *' Fauna Insectorum 

 Friedrichsdalina," a Tinea Mcestin- 

 ^e//a, which I am inclined, doubtingly, 

 to refer here. 



The full synonymy will therefore 

 stand as follows : — 

 Lithocolletis Faginella —

Frey I'a decrite aussi sous le nom de 

 Faginella. Environ deux ans apres 

 la publication de la notice, dans la- 

 quelle le nom de Faginella fut d'abord 

 donne a cette espece, Stainton en 

 decrivit des individus dans le " Zoo- 

 logist" de 1848 sous le nom (^i' Argy- 

 romiges Po?nonella, mais sans etablir 

 les caracteres qui la distinguent des 

 especes voisines, et Nicelli, dans 

 1'" Entomologische Zeitung" de 1851, 

 a commis presque la meme faute. 

 En 1849 Sircom a decrit un indi- 

 vidu de cette espece sous le nom de 

 Lithocolletis Fagifoliella. En 1848 

 Stainton decrivit dans le " Zoologist" 

 une variete de cet insecte sous le 

 nom 6.' Argyromiges securiferella. La 

 Lithocolletis Pomonella de Zeller, dans 

 le premier volume de la " Linnaea 

 Entomologica," renferme sans doute 

 cette espece, de meme que plusieurs 

 especes voisines, et il est possible que 

 Zetterstedt ait voulu, dans ses " In- 

 secta Lapponica," indiquer cette es- 

 pece. Deja en 1764 Miiller a decrit 

 dans sa " Fauna Friedrichsdalina" 

 une Tinea. Mcestingella, que j'hesite 

 peu a rapporter ici.

 consequent la suivante : —
