actions of the Entomological Society 

 of London," vol. v., quoting the 

 description given by Sircom ; and 

 under the name of Gelechia Acuini- 

 natella Stainton afterwards described 

 it in his volume of the " Insecta 

 Britannica." The Gelechia Pulligin- 

 ella described by Sircom in the 

 same page of the '' Zoologist" has 

 been quoted as a doubtful synonym, 

 but I think it is impossible, after the 

 most attentive perusal of that de- 

 scription, to express any opinion on 

 it. 



Hence the synonymy will be 

 simply thus : — 

 Gelechia Acuminatella —
