GRACILARIA PHASIANIPENNELLA. [PlATE IV. FiG. 3. 



Gracilaria Phasianipennella, and the 

 variety under that of Gr. Quadru- 

 plella; these two names are retained 

 by Zeller in the second volume of 

 the " Linnaea Entomologica," and 

 by Stainton in the " Transactions of 

 the Entomological Society," new 

 series, vol. i„ and in his volume of 

 the " Insecta Britannica," where 

 however a note appears that after 

 writing the description the author 

 had come to the opinion that Qua- 

 drwplella was not a distinct species, 

 but only a strongly-marked variety 

 of Phasianipennella. Frey in his 

 '* Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz" adopts this view, describing 

 the insect as Gracilaria Phasianipen- 

 nella, and giving Quadruplella as a 

 synonym of the variety with distinct 

 pale spots, but Herrich-SchafFer de- 

 scribes and figures both as distinct, 

 placing them in his genus Eus- 

 pilapteryx, and in this he is followed 

 by Tengstrom in his " Anmarknin- 

 gar och Tillagg till Finlands Sma- 

 fjaril Fauna." 



The synonymy will therefore be 

 as follows : — 

 Tinea Phasianipennella — 



Hiibner, Samml. Europ. Schmett. 

 v. fig. 321, Larvae iii. 

 Ornix Phasianipennella — 



Treitschke, Schmett. v. Europa, 



ix. 2, p. 209. 

 Zeller, Isis, 1838, p. Q75. 

 Gracilaria Phasianipennella — 

 Zeller, Isis, 1839, p. 209. 



Linn. Ent. ii. p. 350. 



Stainton, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 

 vol. i., N. S., p. 185, 

 pi. 15, fig. 2. 



et la variete, sous celui de Gr. 

 Quadruplella, lesquels deux noms 

 ont ete conserves par Zeller dans 

 le second volume de la "Linnaea 

 Entomologica," et par Stainton dans 

 les " Transactions de la Societe En- 

 tomologique de Londres," vol. i., 

 nouvelle serie, ainsi que dans son 

 volume des *' Insecta Britannica," 

 oia cependant nous trouvons une note 

 indiquant qu'apres avoir ecrit la de- 

 scription I'auteur avait reconnu que 

 la Quadruplella ne constituait pas une 

 espece distincte, mais seulement une 

 variete bien tranchee de la Phasiani- 

 pennella. Frey dans ses " Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz" est 

 du meme avis ; il decrit I'espece sous 

 le nom de Gracilaria Phasianipennella, 

 en donnant le nom de Quadruplella 

 comme synonyme pour la variete a 

 taches pales distinctes, mais Herrich- 

 Schaffer decrit et figure les deux 

 comme especes separees, les placant 

 dans son genre Euspilapterr^x, en 

 quoi Tengstrom le suit dans ses 

 '^ Anmarkningar och Tillagg till Fin- 

 lands Smafjaril Fauna." 



La synonymic en sera done comme 

 suit : —
