GELECHIA AFFINIS. 



[Plate V. Fig. 2. 



can, of course, now only be quoted 

 as doubtful synonyms. The Umhro- 

 sella described by Zeller in the " Isis " 

 of 1839 belongs to the sand-hill 

 species ; 1 saw the original speci- 

 mens when at the meeting of natu- 

 ralists at Stettin. The Gelechia Uinbro- 

 sella, described by Herrich-Schaffer 

 in his *• Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 having the opposite spots yellower 

 than in Biguttella, would rather ap- 

 pear, however, to have been the 

 moss-feeding species. His Gelechia 

 Tegulella, both from the words of the 

 description and from the notice given 

 by Frey(Tin. u.Pteroph. der Schweiz, 

 p. 108), is certainly identical with 

 our JJinis, and Prey's Gelechia A ffi ins , 

 in his " Tineen und Pterophoren der 

 Schweiz," is likewise referable here. 



The synonymy will therefore be as 

 follows : — 

 Gelechia Jffinis —

blanchatres." Les Affinis de Haworth 

 et de Stephens ne peuvent maintenant 

 etre citees que comme synonymes 

 douteux. U Umhrosella decrite par 

 Zeller dans I'^Isis" de 1839 se 

 rapporte a I'espece des dunes (j'ai 

 examine les individus typiques de 

 I'auteur, qu'il avait apportes a la re- 

 union des Naturalistes a Stettin). 

 La Gelechia Urnbrosella decrite par 

 Herrich-Schaffer dans ses " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa," avec les taches 

 opposees plus jaunes que chez la Bi- 

 g II ttella J i^ar ait cependant se rapporter 

 plutot a I'espece des mousses ; sa 

 Gelechia Tegulella, selon les expres- 

 sions de la description et selon I'ob- 

 servation de Frey (Tin. u. Pteroph. 

 der Schweiz, p. 108) est assurement 

 notre Affinis, de meme que la Gelechia 

 Affinis de Frey dans ses "Tineen und 

 Pterophoren der Schweiz."
