BUCCULATRIX HI 



Synonymy. 

 This insect was first described by 

 Duponchel, in the eleventh volume of 

 his "Lepidopteres de France," under 

 the name of Elachista Hippocasta- 

 nella. Zeller next described it in the 

 '*lsis" of 1839 under the name of 

 Lyonetia Hippocastani ; subsequently 

 that author described it in the third 

 volume of the " Linnsea Entomo- 

 logica" as Biicculatrix Hippocastandla, 

 and under this designation it has since 

 been described by Stainton in his 

 volume of the " Insecta Britannica," 

 by Frey in his " Tineen und Ptero- 

 phoren der Schweiz," and by Her- 

 rich-Schaffer, who also figures it, in 

 his *' Schmetterlinge von Europa." 

 Zeller mentions having received a 

 specimen of this insect from Sweden 

 as the Tinea ThoraceUa of Thunberg, 

 but I cannot find that Thunberg's 

 description warrants our referring it 

 to the present species. 



The synonymy will, therefore, be 

 as follows : — 

 Elachista Hippocastanella — 



Duponchel, Lepid. de France, xi. 

 p. 530, pi. 308, fig. 4. 

 Bucculatrix Hippocastandla — 



Zeller, Linn. Ent. iii. p. 297. 



Stainton, Ins. Brit. Lep. Tin. p. 

 29i. 



Frey, Tineen und Pteroph. der 

 Schweiz, p. 318. 



Herrich-SchaflTer, Schmett. v. Eu- 

 ropa, V. p. 338, fig. 852. 

 Lyuneiia Hippocastani — 



Zeller, Isis, 1839, p. 21 G. 



PPOCASTANELLA. [PlATE IV. FlG. 2. 



Synonymie. 



Cette espece fut decrite pour la 

 premiere fois par Duponchel, dans 

 le onzieme volume de ses " Lepido- 

 pteres de France," sous le nom d' Ela- 

 chista Hippocastanella ; depuis Zeller 

 I'a decrite dans 1' *' Isis" de 1839, 

 sous le nom de Lyonetia Hippocastani, 

 et plus tard cet auteur la decrivit 

 dans le Seme volume de la "Linnsea 

 Entomologica," sous le nom de 

 Bucculatrix Hippocastanella, nom sous 

 lequel I'espece a ensuite ete decrite 

 par Stainton dans son volume des 

 " Insecta Britannica," par Frey dans 

 ses " Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz," et par Herrich-Schaffer, 

 qui I'aaussifiguree, dans ses "Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa." Zeller parle 

 d'avoir recu un individu de la Suede 

 com me la Tinea ThoraceUa de Thun- 

 berg ; mais je ne puis pas trouver 

 que la description de Thunberg se 

 rapporte bien a I'espece dont il 

 s'agit ici.
