ORNIX SCOTICELLA. 



[Plate II. Fig. 1. 



cimen I had s: nt him was not in first- 

 rate condition, the outer dark line of 

 the cilia, an important character in 

 this group, being wanting — perhaps 

 it will tend to avoid confusion not to 

 quote any synonym from Herrich- 

 Schaffer. Tengstrom's Or/iix Canella 

 might be also this species, but it will 

 be better primarily to treat it as dis- 

 tinct, especially as Tengstrom says 

 the hairs of the head are pure white. 



The synonymy will then be as 

 follows : — 

 Ornix Scoticella — 



Stainton, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 

 vol. i., N.S., p. 94. 

 Ins. Brit. Lep. l^in. p. 

 207. 

 Frey, Tineen und Pteroph. der 



Schweiz, p. 246. 

 Wocke, Bericht d. Lepid. Tauschv.

I'individu que je lui avais envoye 

 n'etait pas tres-bien conserve, la 

 ligne foncee exterieure des franges, 

 qui donne un caractere important 

 dans ce gronpe, n'etant plus visible ; 

 peut-etre, pour eviter toute con- 

 fusion, il serait preferable de neciter 

 aucun synonyme de Herrich-Schaf- 

 fer. l^'Ornix Canella de Tengstrom 

 pourrait aussi se rapporter a cette 

 espece, mais je crois qu'il vaut raieux 

 la considerer comme espece distincte, 

 vu surtont que I'auteur indique les 

 poils de la tete d'un blanc pur. 



La synonymic sera done ainsi: — 



Ornix Scoticella —
