GELECHIA ERICETELLA. 



[Plate III. Fig. 2. 



Stephens in 1834 described it in 

 his "Illustrations" under the name 

 of Anacamps'is LanceoleUa, having 

 already introduced in the same 

 genus Haworth's Betulca. Dupon- 

 chel, in his " Lepidopteres de 

 France," adopts the specific name 

 given by Treitschke, placing it in 

 his genus Anacampsis. The insect 

 was next described by Stainton in 

 his volume of the "Insecta Britan- 

 nica," where the Hiibnerian name is 

 restored to it, and it appears as 

 Gelechia Ericetella, under which 

 name it has since been described by 

 Frey in his " Tineen und Ptero- 

 phoren der Schweiz." Herrich- 

 Schaffer, in his *' Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," describes and figures 

 it under the name of Gelechia 

 Gallinella. In the sixth volum.e of 

 the " Annales de la Societe Ento- 

 mologique Beige," Dr. Breyer has 

 given a figure of the larva and its 

 mode of feeding under the name of 

 Gelechia Gallintlla. 



Hence the synonymy will be as 

 follows : — 

 Tinea Ericetella —

espece nouvelle sous le nom de Lita 

 Gallinella, et Stephens en 1834 I'a 

 decrite dans ses " Illustrations" sous 

 le nom A' Anacampsis LanceoleUa, 

 ayant deja place dans le meme genre 

 la Betulea de Haworth. Duponchel 

 dans ses " Lepidopteres de France," 

 adoptant le nom specifique donne 

 par Treitschke, a place I'espece dans 

 son genre Anacampsis. Stainton a 

 ensuite decrit cette espece dans son 

 volume des " Insecta Britannica" sous 

 le nom de Gelechia Ericetella, en lui 

 restituant le nom Hiibnerien, et Frey 

 I'a decrite sous cette meme de- 

 signation dans ses " Tineen und 

 Pterophorender Schweiz." Herrich- 

 Schaffer dans ses " Schmetterlinire 

 von Europa" I'a decrite et figuree 

 sous le nom de Gelechia Gallinella. Le 

 Dr. Breyer a donne une fii^ure de la 

 chenille, et de sa maniere de vivre, 

 dans le sixieme volume des " Annales 

 de la Societe Entomologique Beige," 

 sous le nom de Gelechia Gallinella.
