COLEOPHORA VIRGATELLA. [PlATE XIV. FiG. 1. 



Geographical Distribution. 

 This species has not yet been de- 

 tected in this country, and few lo- 

 calities are, up to the present time, 

 recorded for it on the Continent. It 

 has occurred at Brunswick, Breslau, 

 Ratisbon, Glogau, Frankfort-on-the- 

 Oder, and between Darmstadt and 

 Heidelberg. 



Synonymy. 



This species was first briefly no- 

 ticed by Zeller in the " I sis" of 1839, 

 under the name of Colcophora auri- 

 cellar and subsequently it was de- 

 scribed and figured by Duponchel in 

 his Supplement, under the name of 

 Ornix aiiricella ; both authors having 

 conceived that this insect was the 

 Tinea auricella of Fabricius. Sub- 

 sequently an allied species was found 

 to agree better with the Fabrician 

 description than this ; and Zeller, in 

 the 4th volume of the " Linnsea 

 Entomologica," proposed for the in- 

 sect we are now considering the 

 name of Coleophora Virgatella, and 

 under this name it has since been 

 described by Herrich-SchafFer, who 

 has also figured the case. 



The synonymy is, therefore, as 

 follows : — 

 Coleophora Virgatella — 



Zeller, Linn. Ent. iv. p. 291. 



Herrich-Schaffer, Schmett. v. Eu- 

 ropa, V. p. 247 (case), fig. 717 b. 



Coleophora auricella — 



Zeller, Isis, 1839, p. 207. 



Or?iix auricella — 



Duponchel, Lep. de France, Supp. 

 iv. p. 297, pi. 75, fig. 5. 



un point noir de chaque cote; une 

 tache noiratre se trouve sur le seg- 

 ment anal. 



La Distribution Geographique. 



Cette espece n'a pas encore ete 

 observee en Angleterre, et jusqu'a 

 present on ne I'a trouvee que dans 

 peu de localites sur le Continent. 

 EUe a ete trouvee k Brunswick, a 

 Breslau, a Ratisbonne, a Glogau, a 

 Frankfort - sur - I'Oder, et entre 

 Darmstadt et Heidelberg. 



Synonymie. 



Cette espece fut d'abord brieve- 

 ment mentionnee par Zeller dans 

 r"Isis" de 1839, sous le nom de 

 Coleophora auricella, plus tard Du- 

 ponchel I'a decrite et figuree dans 

 le Supplement de son ouvrage, sous 

 le nom d'Ornix auricella, ces deux 

 auteurs ayant pense qu'elle etait la 

 Tinea auricella de Fabricius. Plus 

 tard uhe espece voisine fut rencontree 

 qui se rapporta mieux a la descrip- 

 tion Fabricienne, et alors Zeller, 

 dans le quatrieme volume de la 

 " Linnaea Entomologica," proposa 

 pour I'espece dont nous occupons, le 

 nom de Coleophora Virgatella^ et c'est 

 sous ce nom que Herrich-Schaffer 

 I'a aussi decrite et en a figure le 

 fourreau.
