 many at Glogau, Frankfurt-on-the- 

 Oder, Dresden, Jena, Ratisbon,

 bourg. In Switzerland it has been

Synonymy. 



This insect, having been described 

 and figured in a very detailed manner 

 by De Geer, was nanied by several 

 subsequent authors, who referred 

 solely to De Geer's description ; thus 

 Ketzius, in his " Genera et Species 

 Insectorum," termed it Phalce/ia ma- 

 culata FrangulcEj and Goeze, in his 

 *' Entomoloijische Beitrao^e," sug- 

 gested the name of Tinea Franyu- 

 lella, but which, by accident, was 

 misprinted Frangutdla. Villers, in 

 his " Caroli Linnaei Entomologia 

 Faunas Suecicae descriptionibus 

 aucta," proposed the name of Tinea 

 Jlnella, but, notwithstanding tliis, 

 the insect remained practically un- 

 known for upwards of eighty years 

 after De Geer's observations were 

 published. In 1833 it was described 

 as a new species by Treitschke, in 

 his " Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 under the name of Elachista Rham- 

 7iiJoiiella, and the following year 

 Fischer von Roslerstamm figured 

 this insect and its transformations 

 under this name in his " Abbild- 

 ungen." Duponchel next described 

 and figured it under the same name 

 in the eleventh volume of his " Lcpi- 

 dopteres de Fiance." Zeller, in the

 le Continent on I'a trouvee en 

 plusieurs localites, savoir : en Alle- 

 magne, a Glogau, Frankfort-sur- 

 rOder, Dresden, Jena, Ratisbonne, 

 Frankfort-sur-le-Mein et Fribourg;

 en Italic a Pisa. Elle se trouve 

 aussi en Livonie et en Suede. 



Synonymie. 

 Cet insecte, decrit et figure par 

 De Geer avec beaucoup de details, 

 a ete nomme par plusieurs auteurs 

 apres lui qui ne I'ont connu que par 

 la description de De Geer ; par 

 exemple, Retzius dans ses " Genera 

 et Species Insectorum," I'a appele 

 Vhalcena riiaudata FrangtiUe, et Goeze 

 dans ses " Entomologische BeitragL-" 

 a propose le nom Tinea Frangulti/a, 

 qui par erreur fut imprime Frangu- 

 tella. Villers dans sa " Caroli Linnaii 

 Entomologia Faunae Suecicae de- 

 scriptionibus aucta" a propose le 

 nom de Tinea Abulia, mais malgre 

 toutes ces descriptions I'insecte resta 

 eflfectivement inconnu pour plus de 

 quatre-vingts annees apres que De 

 Geer en avait raconte I'histoire. En 

 1833 Treitschke I'a decrite comme 

 espece nouvelle dans ses " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa," sous le nom 

 d'Elac/iisfa Rhamnifoliella, et I'annee 

 sulvante Fischer de Roslerstamm 

 s'est servi du meme nom pour figui er 

 cette espece avec ses niet;imor[)hoses 

 dans ses *' Abbildungen." Ensuite 

 Duponchel dccrivit et figura 1 espece 

 sous la meme denomination, dans le 

 onzieme volume de ses "Lepidopteres 

 de France." Zeller dans 1' " Isis" de
