COLEOPHORA LIMOSIPENNELLA. [PLATE II. FlG. 2. 



Geographical Distribution. 

 Although this species has been 

 much overlooked, it has been noticed 

 in several localities round London, 

 as at Highgate, Abbey Wood, Lew- 

 isham and Sutton ; it has also been 

 observed plentifully at Mickleham 

 and in the New Forest at Lyndhurst. 

 In Scotland I have observed it near 

 Loch Katrine. 



On the Continent this was ob- 

 served near Paris by Reaumur, and 

 has since been detected at Glogau, 

 Vienna, Frankfort-on-the-Main, and 

 in Switzerland, at Zurich. 



Synonymy. 



Although this species had been 

 noticed as far back as the time of 

 Reaumur, who gives in the 8th plate 

 of his 3rd volume some good repre- 

 sentations of the case of the larva, 

 it was not till 1842 that the insect 

 acquired a name; in that year it was 

 figured and described by Duponchel 

 under the name of Ornix limosipen- 

 nella. Zeller, in the 4th volume of the 

 " Linnaea Entomologica," described 

 it under the name of Coleophora limo- 

 sipennella ; it has since been described 

 under this same name by Herrich- 

 SchiifTer in his " Schmetterlinge von 

 Europa," by Frey in his " Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," and 

 by Stainton in his " Entomologist's 

 Annual" for 1855. 



The synonymy is, therefore, as 

 follows : — 

 Ornix limosipennella — 



Duponchel, Lep. de France, Sup. 

 iv. p. 296, pi. 75, fig. 4. 

 Coleophora limosipennella — 



Zeller, Linn. Ent. iv. p. 406. 



La Distribution Geographique. 



Quoique cette espece ait ete tres- 

 negligee, on la cependant observee 

 en plusieurs localites pres de Lon- 

 dres, par exemple a Highgate, Abbey 

 Wood, Lewisham et Sutton ; de 

 plus elle a ete trouvee a foison a, 

 Mickleham, et dans le New Forest 

 a Lyndhurst. En Ecosse je l'ai 

 vue pres de Loch Katrine. 



Sur le Continent Reaumur l'a ob- 

 servee autour de Paris, et plus re- 

 cemment elle a ete trouvee a Glogau, 

 Vienne, Frankfort-sur-le-Mein et en 

 Suisse a Zurich. 



La Synonymie. 



Quoique cette espece eut ete ob- 

 servee dans le temps de Reaumur, 

 qui donne quelques figures assez 

 bonnes de son fourreau dans la 

 huitieme planche de son troisieme 

 volume, ce ne fut qu'en 1842 

 qu'elle obtint un nom, lorsque Du- 

 ponchel la decrivit et figura sous le 

 nom d'Ornix limosipennella. Zeller 

 dans le quatrieme volume de la 

 " Linnaea Entomologica" la decrivit 

 sous le nom de Coleophora limosipen- 

 nella, et depuis elle a ete decrite 

 sous ce meme nom par Herrich- 

 SchafTer dans ses " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," par Frey dans ses 

 u Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz," et par Stainton dans 

 1'" Entomologist's Annual" de 1855. 



En voici done la synonymie : — 



Ornix limosipennella — 



Duponchel, Lep. de France, Supp. 

 iv. p. 296, pi. 75, fig. 4. 

 Coleophora lunosipennella — 



Zeller, Linn. Ent. iv. p. 406.
