ELACHISTA RUFOCINEREA. 



[Plate II. Fig. 3. 



" Lepidoptera Britannica," under the 

 name of Porrectaria rufocinerea ; at 

 the same time Haworth described 

 the female as a distinct species, 

 Porrectaria Jlos-lactis. Stephens, in 

 his " Illustrations," retained the two 

 sexes as distinct species under their 

 respective names, placing them in his 

 genus Aphelosetia. Zeller, who had 

 received the insect from Herr Mann 

 with the name o^ Elachkta Pratolhn- 

 ella, describes it as FAachista rufoci- 

 nerea in the " Entomologische Zeit- 

 ung" for 1850, and under this name 

 the species is described by Stainton 

 in the " Insecta Britannica." Her- 

 rich-Schaffer, in his " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," describes and figures 

 it as Poeciloptilia rufocinerella. 



The synonymy is therefore as fol- 

 lows : —

 '^ Lepidoptera Britannica" sous le 

 nom de Porrectaria rufocinerea ; en 

 raeme temps Haworth decrivit la 

 femelle comme espece distincte sous 

 le nom de Porrectaria flos-lactis. 

 Stephens dans ses " Illustrations " 

 conserva encore les sexes comme des 

 especes distinctes sous ces noms, en les 

 pla^ant dans son genre Aphelosetia.

 chista rufocinerea dans 1' " Entomolo- 

 gische Zeitung" de 1850, et sous le 

 meme nom Stainton a public I'espece 

 dans r " Insecta Britannica." Her- 

 rich-Schaffer, dans ses " Schmetter- 

 linge von Europa," la decrit et la 

 fio-ure sous le nom de Poeciloptilia 

 rufocinerella.
