GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS ELACHISTA. 



Dans son Supplement il ajoute en- 

 core neuf especes, mais seulement 

 deux de ce nombre, la CuWtella et la 

 Dispunctella, sent representees d'une 

 maniere passable. 



In his Supplement, he introduces 

 nine more species, but only two of 

 them, Cullitella and Dispunctella, are 

 represented at all passably. 



In 1847, Tengstrom, in his "Fin- 

 land's Fjaril-Fauna," has eleven spe- 

 cies of this genus, three of which, 

 Tristictella, Bistictella and SaUcis, I 

 have not been able to recognize, from 

 his rather detailed descriptions ; pos- 

 sibly they may be local species un- 

 known to us. His Magnificella and 

 Zonariella, then first described, are 

 at once recognizable. 



In the^Isis" of 1847, Zeller, in 

 his notice of his Sicilian captures, 

 described two new species, Contami- 

 imtella and Disemiella. 



In the Zoologist for 1848, Sircom 

 described Bedellelia ; Stain ton de- 

 scribed two otlier new species, Bia- 

 tomella and Rhynchosporella, in the 

 same volume. 



In the following year, Stainton, in 

 his " Catalogue of British Tineidae," 

 enumerates twenty-four species, of 

 which six {Atr'icomella, Kilinu/iella, 

 Tropezielldy Obscurella, Apkipunctdla 

 and Ochredla) were then described 

 for the first time. 



In the "Entomologische Zeitung" 

 for 1850, in the enumeration of the 

 Miao-Lcpidoptera collected in Tus- 

 cany by Herr Mann, Zeller described 

 six new species, viz. Griseclla, Ariin- 

 (Hnella, Humilis, Rcxinctclla, Gavga- 



En 1 847 Tengstrom, dans sa " Fin- 

 land's Fjaril-Fauna," parle de onze 

 especes de ce genre, parmi lesquelles 

 il y a trois {Tristicfdla, Bistictella et 

 Salicis) que je n'ai pas pu reconnaitre 

 aux descriptions assez detaillees, 

 donnees par I'auteur ; il se pent que 

 ce soient des especes locales qui 

 nous sont inconnues. Sa Magiiiji- 

 cdla et sa Zonariella, decrites alors 

 pour la premiere fois, sont de suite 

 reconnaissables. 



Dans 1'" Isis" de 1 847 Zeller a de- 

 crit deux nouvelles especes, la Con- 

 taminatdla et la Disemiella, dans la 

 relation sur la collection rapportee 

 par lui de la Sicile. 



Dans le "Zoologist" de 1 848 Sircom 

 adecritla Bedelldla; et Stainton deux 

 autres nouvelles especes, la Biatomdla 

 et la Rhijnchosporella. 



L'annee suivante Stainton donne 

 dans son " Catalogue of British Ti- 

 neidae" I'enumeration de 24 especes, 

 dont s\Y.{Atricomella,Kilmundla, Tra- 

 peziella, Obscurella, Apicipi(7ictdla, et 

 Ochredla) y sont decrites pour la pre- 

 miere fois. 



Dans r " Entomologische Zeitung" 

 de 1850, dans I'enumeration des 

 Micro- Lepidupteres raccoltes en Tos- 

 cane par M. Mann, Zeller a decrit 

 six nouvelles especes, c'est a dire les 

 Griscdla, ArinuHndla, Humilis, Re-
