GELECHIA MACULATELLA. 



[Plate VII. Fig. 3. 



So conspicuous an insect could 

 scarcely have escaped observation, 

 were it generally distributed. 



Synonymy. 

 First named by Hiibner, who 

 figured it in his " Sammlung Euro- 

 paischer Schmetterlinge" under the 



name of Tinea Maculatella, but the 

 references to the figure and to that 

 of Suhsequella on the same plate 

 are transposed. It was first de- 

 scribed by Herrich-SchaflPer in his 

 " Schmetterlinge von Europa," as 

 Gtlechia Maculatella. 



Hence the synonymy is concisely 

 as follows : — 

 Tinea Maculatella — 



Hiibner, Samml. Europ. Schmett. 

 fig. 1G2 (erroneously Sub- 

 sequella), 

 GeJechia Maculatella — 



Herrich-Schaffer, Schmett. v. Eu- 

 ropa, V. p. 185. 



fort-sur-le-Mein. II est difficile 

 d'admettre qu'un insecte d'un type 

 aussi frappant ait pu echapper a 

 I'attention des observateurs s'il etait 

 tres-repandu. 



Synonymie. 



Nommee d'abord par Hiibner, 

 qui I'a figuree dans sa " Sammlung 

 Europaischer Schmetterlinge/' sous 

 le nom de Tinea Maculatella, mais les 

 renvois a cette figure et a celle de la 

 Suhsequella sur la meme planche sont 

 transposes. Herrich-Schaffer fut 

 le premier qui I'a decrite, dans ses 

 " Schmetterlinge von Europa," sous 

 le nom de Gelechia Maculatella, 



La synonymie en est done assez 

 courte: — 

 Tinea Maculatella — 



Hiibner, Samml. Europ. Schmett. 

 fig. \Q2 {Y'^x erveur Suhsequella). 



Gelechia Maculatella — 



Herrich-Schaffer, Schmett. v. 

 Europa, V. p. 185.
