GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS COLEOPHORA. 



May relict and Ot'tdipennella, which 

 have never been identified satisfac- 

 torily. 



In 1802 appeared the 2nd volume 

 of Schrank's " Fauna Boica," where 

 Tiliella (the Anatipennella of Hiib- 

 ner) is well described ; we have a 

 more detailed notice of Hemerobiella, 

 and two other species, Vinetella and 

 Spinella, are unrecognizably de- 

 scribed. 



In the 1st volume of Germar's 

 Magazine, published in 1813, we 

 have notices from Zincken of three 

 species, one of which, Palliatella, 

 then received its present name. 



In the 14th chapter of Kirby and 

 Spence's " Introduction to Entomo- 

 logy," treating of " habitations of 

 insects," notice is given of the habits 

 of several larvae of this genus. 



In 1829 appeared the 4th part of 

 Haworth's " Lepidoptera Britannica," 

 in which was founded the genus Por- 

 rectaria ; in this nine Coleophorce were 

 described, three of which, Ochrea, 

 Lineolea and Albicosta, retain their 

 Haworthian names. 



Three years later Curtis published 

 the sheet of his " British Entomo- 

 logy," treating of the genus Damo- 

 phila, in which Trifolii (the Linnsean 

 F/ischelta) is figured and described. 

 Curtis's sheet treating of the genus 

 Porrectaria was not published till 

 some years later; it gives a good 

 figure and description of Haworth's 



autres especes de ce genre, la Gry- 

 phipennella, la Coracipennella, la 

 Mayrella et Y Otidipennella, mais on 

 n'a pas pu les determiner avec cer- 

 titude. 



En 1802 a paru le deuxieme 

 volume de la " Fauna Boica" de 

 Schrank, ou la Tiliella (Y Anatipennella 

 de Hiibner) est bien decrite ; nous y 

 trouvons aussi une notice plus de- 

 taillee sur Y Hemerobiella, et deux 

 autres especes sont decrites, mais 

 d'une maniere trop insurfisante pour 

 qu'il soit possible de les determiner. 



Dans le premier volume du Ma- 

 gazin de Germar, publie en 1813, 

 nous trouvons des observations par 

 Zincken sur trois especes, dont une, 

 la Palliatella, recut alors le nom sous 

 lequel nous la connaissons. 



Dansle 14eme chapitredel'" Intro- 

 duction a l'Entomologie" de Kirby 

 et Spence, qui traite des " habita- 

 tions des insectes," il y a des obser- 

 vations sur les mceurs de plusieurs 

 chenilles de ce genre. 



En 1829 a paru la quatrieme 

 partie des " Lepidoptera Britannica" 

 de Haworth, ou fut etabli le genre 

 Porrectaria, et dans ce genre neuf 

 Coleophorce furent decrites, dont trois, 

 YOchrea, la Lineolea et Y Albicosta, 

 conservent encore leurs noms Ha- 

 worthiens. 



Trois annees plus tard Curtis a 

 publie la feuille de son " British En- 

 tomology" qui traite du genre Da- 

 mophila, dans laquelle la Trifolii (la 

 Frischella de Linne) est figuree et 

 decrite. La feuille de Curtis qui 

 traite du genre Porrectaria ne fut 

 publiee que quelques annees plus 

 tard ; on y voit une belle figure et
