GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS EUCCULATRIX. 



Entomologica" appeared, and in it 

 Zeller founded the genus Bucculatrix, 

 placing in it the 7 species which in 

 the Isis were located in Lyonetia, 

 sec. A., Gnaphalkllay and one new 

 species — Ulmella. 



In the same year this last species 

 was described by Stainton in the 

 Zoologist, under the name of Argy- 

 romiges Sircomella ; and another new 

 species was described under the name 

 of Argyromiges Demaryella. In the 

 following year, this author indicated 

 Aur'unaculella and Vetustella in his 

 "Catalogue of British Tineidae," and 

 in his ^'Supplementary Catalogue," in 

 1851, he described Maritima. 



Three years later Stainton de- 

 scribed the 11 British species in 

 the "Insecta Britannica, Lepidoptera 

 Tineina ;" during the two following 

 years the larvae of Aurimnculella, 

 De?naryella and Mariti?na were de- 

 tected. 



In 1856 appeared that portion of 

 Herrich-Schaffer's Work which treats 

 of this genus, in which 17 species 

 are noticed ; here we find brief 

 descriptions of several new species, 

 Imitatella, Argentisignella, Arterni- 

 siella, Humiliella and Rham7iieila ; and 

 the GnaphaUella of Herrich-Schaffer 

 is likewise a new species, being quite 

 distinct, as hereafter pointed out, 

 from the Gnaphaliella of Treitschke 

 and Zeller. In the same year 

 Frey's '* Tineen und Pterophoren 

 der Schweiz" was published, in which 

 are descriptions of eight Swiss spe- 

 cies, one of them, Gracilella, being 

 new, unless it be identical with Her- 

 rich-Schaffer's Argentisignella. 



la " Linnaea Entomologica," lorsque 

 Zeller fonda le genre Bucculatrix, y 

 rapportant les sept especes qui dans 

 r^'Isis" de 1839 se trouvaient dans 

 la section A. de Lyonetia, la Gnapha- 

 liella, et une espece nouvelle — VUl- 

 mella. 



La nieme annee Stainton a de- 

 crit cette derniere espece dans le 

 " Zoologiste," sous le nom di Argyro- 

 miges SircomeUa, et une autre espece 

 nouvelle sous le nom d'Argyro7niges 

 Demaryella. L'annee suivante cet 

 auteur a indique V Aurimaculella et la 

 Vetustella dans son " Catalogue of 

 British Tineidae," et en 1851 il de- 

 crivit la Maritima dans son " Supple- 

 mentary Catalogue." 



Trois annees plus tard Stainton a 

 decrit dans les "Insecta Britannica" 

 les onze especes Britanniques de 

 ce genre ; pendant les deux annees 

 suivantes on a trouve les chenilles de 

 V AurimacuJella, de la Demaryella, et 

 de la Maritima, 



En 1856 a paru la partie de 

 I'ouvrage de Herrich-Schaffer qui 

 traite de ce genre ; il y enumere 

 dix-sept especes, et donne des de- 

 scriptions courtesde plusieurs especes 

 nouvelles, savo'ivV Lnit at ella, Y Argen- 

 tisignella, VArtemisiella, Y Humiliella 

 et la Rhamniella : sa Gnaphaliella 

 est aussi une espece nouvelle, tout- 

 a-fait distincte de la Gnaphaliella de 

 Treitschke et de Zeller. La meme 

 annee Frey fit publier ses '' Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," ou il 

 a decrit huit especes indigenes en 

 Suisse, parmi lesquelles une (la Gra- 

 cilella) est nouvelle, si ce ne soit pas 

 Y Argentisignella de Herrich-Schaffer.
