ELACHISTA CYGNIPENN ELLA. [PlATE IV. FiG. 2. 



in the " Insecta Britannica," and 

 Frey in his " Tineen und Pteropho- 

 ren der Schweiz." Herrich-Schaffer 

 separates this species from his genus 

 Pceci/apfilia, forming of it a distinct 

 genus Cycnodia, and allowing neaily 

 400 species to intervene between 

 Cjjcnodia cvgnipennella and its two 

 nearest allies — Poeciioplilia festucko- 

 le-la and ochreella. Among the doubt- 

 ful synonyms of the older authors 

 may be mentioned the Argenttlla of 

 Clerck's " Icones," the Tinea fari- 

 ndla of Thunberg's " Insecta Sue- 

 cica," and the Tinea alabastnlh of 

 Schrank's " Fauna Boica."

 nymy of this species : — ■

j de Londres, vol. ii. N. S. ; Stainton 

 la decrit dans 1' " Insecta Britan- 

 nica," et Frey dans ses " Tineen und 

 Ptcrophoren der Schweiz.'' Her- 

 rich-SchafFer ote cette espece du 

 genre Poeciluptilia pour en former un 

 genre particulier Cycnod'a, et va 

 ranger a peu pres quatre cents 

 especes entre la Cycnodia cygnipen- 

 neila et les deux especes qui lui sont 

 les plus voisines, Poeciloptilia festuci- 

 cole'tla et Ochreella. Parmi les sy- 

 nonymes douteux des plus anciens 

 auteurs on peut citer VArgentella 

 de Clerck, la Tinea farinella de 

 Thunberg et la Tinea alaha^trella 

 de Schrank.
