History of the Study of the Genus 

 Gelechia. 

 The earliest observation we find 

 referring to any of this genus is the 

 brief notice of Frisch in his " Be- 

 schreibung von allerlei Insekten in 

 Deutschland," (published in 1721,) 

 of the larva of what we now know 

 as Gelechia ncevifereUa. The same 

 larva was also noticed by Reaumur in 

 the 3rd volume of his " Memoires," 

 p. 7 (published in 1737). To both 

 these notices reference has already 

 been given when treating of Need- 

 ferclla in the previous volume (vol. ix. 

 pp. 258, 259). Reaumur has also 

 noticed in some detail (vol. ii. p. 



Histoire de l'Etude du Genre 

 Gelechia. 



La premiere observation que nous 

 trouvons se rapporter a quelque 

 espece de ce genre, est la courte 

 notice que donne Frisch, dans sa 

 " Beschreibung von allerlei Insekten 

 in Deutschland" (publiee en 1721), 

 de la chenille de ce que nous appelons 

 aujourd'hui la Gelechia naviferella. 

 Reaumur parle aussi de la m&me 

 chenille dans le 3eme volume de ses 

 " Memoires," p. 7 (publie en 1737). 

 Nous avons deja parle de ces deux 

 observations en traitant de la Nce- 

 viferella dans le neuvieme volume 

 (vol. ix. pp. 258, 259). Reaumur ft
