DEPRESSARIA FIMPINELL^. 



[Plate IV. Fig. 2. 



the Lake District of Cumberland. 

 In Germany it occurs freely at Glo- 

 gau, also at Jena and Frankfort-on- 

 the-Main and Freiburg ; it has like- 

 wise been noticed in Livonia and in 

 Finland, and, if this be really the 

 PukertUa of Eversmann, in the pro- 

 vince of Casan. 



Synonymy. 

 I strongly suspect that this was 

 the insect which Haworth had before 

 him when he sketched his description 

 of Depressnria C/iaracferosa, which we 

 find in the " Lepidoptera Britan- 

 nica," but the point will probably 

 always be doubtful. A translation 

 of the same description was given by 

 Stephens in his " Illustrations/' but 

 with no additional information. The 

 first certain name which we have for 

 this species is that of Dcpressaria 

 Pimpinel/cB, given by Zeller in the 

 *'Isis" of 1839; the characters of the 

 insect are however only briefly alluded 

 to, but a detailed description was 

 subsequently given by the same au- 

 thor in the "Isis" of 1846. Evers- 

 mann in his " Fauna Lepidoptero- 

 logica VolffO- Uralensis" describes 

 this insect as Ilcejiiylis Pulverella. 

 Under the Zellerian name of Depres- 

 saria Pimpinellce the insect was next 

 described by Stainton in the fifth 

 volume of the *' Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of London" 

 and in the " Insecta Britannica," by 

 Zeller in the ninth volume of the 

 *' Linnaea Entomologica, " and by 

 Her rich- SchafFer, who also figures it 

 in his "Schmetterlinge von Europa." 

 The Anacampsis Pimpinella, in the 

 fourth supplementary volume of Du- 

 ponchel's " Lepidopteres de France" 

 is too badly described and figured to 



dans le pays des lacs de Cumberland. 

 En Allemagne il se trouve a Glogau 

 et a Jena, ainsi qu'a Frankfort-sur- 

 le-Mein et a Fribourg ; on I'a aussi 

 trouve en Livonie et en Finlande, 

 et si la Pulverella d'Eversm.ann est 

 vraiment cette espece, elle se trouve 

 a Casan. 



Synonymie. 

 J'ai fortement soupconne que 

 Haworth avait cette espece sous les 

 yeux, lorsqu'il esquissait la descrip- 

 tion de la Depressaria Characterosa 

 que nous trouvons dans les " Lepi- 

 pidoptera Britannica," mais cela 

 restera probablement toujours un 

 point douteux. Stephens a donne 

 une traduction de cette description 

 dans ses " Illustrations," mais il n'y a 

 rien ajoute. Le premier nom star, 

 que nous pouvons citer pour cette 

 espece, est Depressaria Pimpinellcjey 

 donne par Zeller dans I'^Isis" de 

 1839, oil les caracteres specifiques 

 sont brievement mentionnes ; cet 

 auteur a donne une description plus 

 detaillee dans 1' " Isis" de 1840. 

 Eversmann dans sa '' Fauna Lepidop- 

 terologica Volgo-Uralensis" parait 

 decrire la meme espece sous le nom 

 de Ilceffiylis Pulverella. Sous le nom 

 Zellerien de Depressaria PimpinellcB 

 I'espece a ensuite ete decrite par 

 Stainton dans le cinquieme volume 

 des *' Transactions de la Societe En- 

 tomologique de Londres," et dans 

 les " Insecta Britannica," ainsi que 

 par Zeller dans le neuvieme volume 

 de la " Linnaea Entomologica," et 

 par Herrich-Schaffer, qui I'a aussi 

 figuree, dans ses " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa." UAnacampsis Pimpi-
