DEPRESSARIA APPLAKA. 



[PlateVIII. Fig. 3. 



seems uniformly distributed over 

 Northern and Middle Europe, and 

 it is extremely probable that it may 

 have even a more extended range. 



Synonymy. 



First named by Fabricins, who de- 

 scribed it in his " Genera In- 

 sectornm," under the designation of 

 Pjjralis Jpplana ; this description 

 was repeated in several of the sub- 

 sequent works of Fabricius, but in 

 the supplement to his " Entomologia 

 Systematica" he altered the name to 

 Tinea ApplaneUa. Retz in his " Ge- 

 nera et Species Insectorum," in 

 which he named the insects figured 

 and described by De Geer, proposed 

 the name of Phalcena CcrefoUi for 

 this insect. Hiibner in his " Samm- 

 lung Europaischer Schmetterlinge" 

 figured this species under the name 

 of Tinea Cicutclla. Treitschke in 

 his " Schmetterlinge von Europa" 

 described it as Hceinylis Cicutella^ 

 which name was adopted by Du- 

 ponchel and I'^versmann. Haworth 

 in his " Lepidoptera Britannica" de- 

 scribed it under the name of Dcpres- 

 saria Applaua, and under this name 

 it has since been descri'oed by Ste- 

 phens in his " Illustrations," by 

 Stainton in the "Insecta Britannica," 

 by Zeller in the 9th volume of the 

 *' Linnaea Entomologica," by Frey in 

 his " Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schvveiz," and by Herrich-Schafifer 

 in his " Schmetterlinge von Europa." 

 Fischer von Roslerstamm, in his mag- 

 nificent work, figures it under the 

 designation of Hcemylis ApplaneUa. 



egalement distribuee dans I'Europe 

 boreale et centrale ; et il est tres- 

 probable que son aire geographique 

 soit beaucoup plus etendue encore.

 Treitschke dans ses '' Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa" la decrit, sous la deno- 

 mination de Hcemylis Cicutella, lequel 

 nom fut conserve par Duponchel et 

 par Eversmann. Haworth dans ses 

 " Lepidoptera Britannica" I'a decrite 

 sous le nom de Depressaria Applana, 

 et sous ce meme nom elle a ete 

 ensuite decrite par Stephens dans 

 ses " Illustrations," par Stainton dans 

 les " Insecta Britannica," par Zeller 

 dans le neuvieme volume de la 

 " Linnaea Entomologica," par Frey 

 dans ses " Tineen und Pterophoi en 

 der Schweiz,"et par Hei rich-Schaffer 

 dans ses " Schmetterlinge von Eu-
