Synonymy. 



This species was first named by 

 Hiibner, who figured it in his 

 '* Sammlung Europaischer Schmet- 

 terlinge" under the name of Albi- 

 punctella. Subsequently, it was de- 

 scribed by Treitschke in his 

 ''Schmetterlinge von Europa," under 

 the designation o{ Hcpmyl'ts Albipunc- 

 tella, and Duponchel has described 

 and figured it under the same name. 

 Treitschke in his supplementary 

 volume has described a larva which 

 he refers to this species, but in doing 

 so he is clearly in error ; his larva 

 has a black head and second seg- 

 ment, and feeds on the Artemisia 

 campestris in May, changing to the 

 pupa state at the end of that month ; 

 such a larva we have just met with 

 at the beginning of June, at Hoken- 

 dorf, near Stettin, and believe that it 

 has also been observed near Ratisbon 

 by Herr Hofmann, but the perfect 

 insect which it will produce is not 

 yet ascertained. Haworth in his 

 "Lepidoptera Britannica" has briefly 

 described this species as Depressaria 

 Albipuncta. Stephens in his *' Illus- 

 trations" describes it as Depressaria 

 Alb'ipunctella, and under this name it 

 has since been described by Stainton 

 in the " Insecta Britannica," by Frey 

 in his '^ Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz," by Zeller in the 9th volume 

 of the " Linnaea Entomologica," and 

 by Herrich-Schaffer in his " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa." 



The synonymy will, therefore, be 

 as follows : — 

 Tinea Albipunctella — 



Hiibner, Samm. Eur. Schmett.

 Hcemijlis Albipunctella — 



Treitschke, Schmett. v. Europa,

Synonymie. 



Cette espece fut d'abord nommee 

 par Hiibner, qui I'a figuree dans sa 

 " Sammlung Europaischer Schmet- 

 terlinge" sous le nom d' Albipunctella. 

 Plus tard Treitschke I'a decrite dans 

 ses " Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 sous celui d'Hcem.i/lis Albipunctella^ et 

 Duponchel I'a decrite et figuree soiis 

 la meme denomination. Treitschke 

 dans son volume supplementaire a 

 decrit une chenille qu'il rapporte a 

 cette espece, mais assurement il s'est 

 trompe a cet egard ; la chenille dont 

 il parle a la tete et le second segment 

 noirs, et se nourrit en ^fai deY Arte- 

 misia campestris, se cliangeant en chry- 

 salide a la fin de ce mois ; nous venous 

 de trouver une telle chenille au com- 

 mencement de Juin, a H okendorf, pres 

 de Stettin, etjecrois queM. Hofmann 

 I'a deja observee pres de Ratisbonne, 

 mais on ne connait pas encore I'insecte 

 parfait qui en sortira. Haworth dans 

 ses '' Lepidoptera Britannica" decrit 

 cette espece assez brievement sous 

 le nom de Depressaria Albipuncta. 

 Stephens dans ses " Illustrations" la 

 decrit sous le nom de Depressaria Al- 

 bipuncttlla ; denomination sous la- 

 quelle elle a ensuite ete decrite par 

 Stainton dans les " Insecta Britan- 

 nica," par Frey dans ses *' Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," par 

 Zeller dans le neuvieme volume de 

 la " Linnaea Entomologica," et par 

 Herrich-Schaffer dans ses " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa."
