COLEOPHORA HEMEROBIELLA. [PlATE XI. FiG. 3. 



abundantly in gardens at Hammer- 

 smith and Putney; and it has also 

 occurred at Farnham, in Surrey, but 

 we do not know of any other British 

 localities. 



On the Continent it is more widely 

 distributed ; it was observed in 

 France by Reaumur ; it occurs 

 throughout Germany ; and in the 

 plains of Switzerland. 



Synonymy. 



This insect was first named by 

 Scopoli, who in his " Entomologia 

 Carniolica" gave a brief description 

 of the perfect insect and larva-case, 

 under the designation of Fhalceiia 

 HemerohieUa ; this description was 

 copied by some of the old compilers ; 

 but Schrank, in his " Fauna Boica," 

 gave an improved description under 

 the name of Tinea Hemerobiella. 

 Subsequently Hiibner figured the 

 insect under the name of Tinea anse- 

 ripennella; this specific name was 

 adopted by Treitschke, who placed 

 the insect in his genus Ornix. Ste- 

 phens next described the insect in 

 his "Illustrations" under the name 

 of Ponectaria anseripennella. Under 

 the name of Ornix anseripennella the 

 insect was figured and described by 

 Duponchel, in his " Lepidopteres de 

 France ;" and it is also described by 

 Eversmann, in his "Fauna Lepidop- 

 terologica Volgo-Uralensis." 



A notice of the insect, under the 

 name of Ornix anseripennella^ from 

 the pen of Tischer, occurs on the 

 117th page of the work of Fischer 

 von Roslerstamm ; but subsequently 

 the insect is described and figured 

 in the same work under the name 

 of Ornix Hemerobiella; the old 



dans les jardins a Hammersmith et 

 h. Putney ; et on I'a aussi trouvee a 

 Farnham, en Surrey, mais nous ne 

 connaissons pas d'autres localites 

 Britaniques. 



Sur le Continent elle est beaucoup 

 plus repandue ; Reaumur I'a ob- 

 servee en France ; elle se trouve 

 partout en Allemagne ; et dans la 

 plupart de la Suisse. 



Synonymie. 

 Cet insecte fut d'abord nomme par 

 Scopoli, qui dans son " Entomologia 

 Carniolica" nous a donne une descrip- 

 tion courte dupapillon et du fourreau 

 sous la designation de Phalcena He- 

 merobiella; plusieurs anciens compi- 

 lateurs ont copi^ cette description, 

 mais Schrank, dans sa "Fauna Boica," 

 I'a amelioree ; il nomma I'insecte 

 Tinea Hemerobiella. Plus tard Hiib- 

 ner Ta figure sous le nom de Tinea 

 anseripennella, lequel nom specifique 

 fut apres lui adopte par Treitschke, 

 qui pla9a I'espece dans son genre 

 Ornix. Stephens la decrivit ensuite 

 dans ses " Illustrations" sous le nom 

 de Porrectaria anseripennella, et Du- 

 ponchel I'a decrite et figuree dans ses 

 " Lepidopteres de France" sous le 

 nom d'Orjiix anseripennella. Evers- 

 mann I'a aussi decrite dans sa " Fauna 

 Lepidopterologica Volgo- Uralensis," 



A la page 117 de I'ouvrage de 

 Fischer de Roslerstamm nous trou- 

 vons une notice sur cette espece,

 Fischer Ta decrite et figuree dans le
