COLEOPHORA PYRRHULIPENNELLA. [PLATE VII. FlG. 3. 



buted, and might probably be found 

 on most heaths. Near London it 

 occurs on Dartford Heath, Wimble- 

 don Common and West Wickham. 

 Westward it has been noticed near 

 Shrewsbury. Northward it is com- 

 mon near Manchester and Preston ; 

 it is less common at York, but is not 

 scarce on moors at Scarborough. 



On the Continent it seems widely 

 distributed in Germany, having been 

 observed at Dantzic, Glogau, Bres- 

 lau, Dresden, Vienna, Ratisbon and 

 Frankfort-on-the-Main. 



Synonymy. 

 This species does not appear to 

 have been described till the year 

 1839, when Zeller gave a short 

 diagnosis of it in the " Isis" under 

 the name of Coleophora pyrrhulipen- 

 nella of Tischer ; a more complete 

 description was given by Zeller in 

 the 4th volume of the " Linnaea En- 

 tomologica," and the insect was sub- 

 sequently described under the same 

 name by Stainton in the " Insecta 

 Britannica," and by Herrich-Schaf- 

 fer, who also figures it, in his 

 " Schmetterlinge von Europa." 



The synonymy is, therefore, as 

 follows : — 

 Coleophora pyrrhulipennella —

et se trouve probablement presque 

 sur toutes les bruyeres. Pres de 

 Londres on l'a observee a Dartford 

 Heath, a Wimbledon Common, et a 

 West Wickham ; vers l'ouest on l'a 

 observee pres de Shrewsbury ; vers 

 le nord elle est assez commune 

 autour de Manchester et de Preston; 

 elle est moins commune pres de 

 York, mais n'est pas rare sur les 

 bruyeres pres de Scarborough. 



Sur le Continent elle est assez 

 repandue en Allemagne, puisqu'on 

 l'a observee a Dantzic, a Glogau, a 

 Breslau, a Dresde, a Vienne, a 

 Ratisbonne et a Frankfort-sur-le- 

 Mein. 



Synonymic 

 Cette espece ne parait pas avoir 

 ete decrite avant l'annee 1839, 

 lorsque Zeller en publia une courte 

 diagnose dans 1' " Isis," sous le nom 

 de Coleophora pyrrhulipennella de 

 Tischer ; une description plus de- 

 taillee fut publiee par le meme au- 

 teur dans le quatrieme volume de la 

 " Linnaea Entomologica," et l'insecte 

 fut ensuite decrit, sous le meme nom, 

 par Stainton dans 1' " Insecta Bri- 

 tannica," et par Herrich-SchafTer, qui 

 l'a aussi figure, dans ses " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa." 



La synonyrnie est done comme 

 suit : — 

 Coleophora pyrrhulipennella —
