GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS GELECHIA. 



the two first sections of the Ha- 

 worthian genus Recurvaria ; the list 

 of species given, as there stated, was 

 copied from the MS. of Haworth. 



In 1832 appeared the second part 

 of the ninth volume of *' Treitschke's 

 Schmetterlinge von Europa." In 

 this we find the genus Lita consti- 

 tuted, containing twenty-five species, 

 most of which are truly Gelechice, 

 and amongst them are four, Fischerella, 

 Coronillella, Artemisklla and Cytisclla, 

 then described for the first time. 

 In his genus (Ecophora he also placed 

 a few species, and amongst them 

 Brizella was then first described. 

 Pinguinella he had already described 

 in the first part of the ninth volume, 

 placing it in the genus Hcemylis^ and 

 in his tenth and supplementary 

 volume he described Lita peliella. 



Stephens in his " Illustrations of 

 British Entomology," Haustellata, 

 vol. 4, published in 1834, places the 

 bulk of these insects, then known to 

 him, in the genus Anacampsis, and 

 describes one novelty under the 

 name of Suboceliea ; in his genus 

 Cleodora he describes another under 

 the name of Lucidella. 



In 1838 appeared the 11th volume 

 of M Duponchel's Lepidopteres de 

 France," in which the insects of this 

 genus are divided into the two genera 

 Anacampsis and Lita; in the latter 

 four new species are described and 

 figured (Velocella, Alacella, Electella 

 and Alburnelld) \ a few other species 

 he places in the genus (Ecophora, 



premieres sections du genre 7?e- 

 curvaria de Haworth ; la liste des 

 especes, comme il l'a dit lui-meme, 

 fut copiee du manuscrit de Haworth. 



En 1832 a paru la deuxieme partie 

 du neuvieme volume des " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa" de Treitschke, 

 ou nous trouvons le genre Lita etabli, 

 qui contient 25 especes, dont la 

 plupart sont de veritables Gelechia, 

 et parmi elles quatre, les Fischerella, 

 Coronillella, Artemisiella, et Cytisella, 

 furent alors decrites pour la premiere 

 fois. II a place aussi quelques 

 especes dans son genre (Ecophora, et 

 parmi elles la Brizella recut alors sa 

 premiere description. La Pinguinella 

 avait deja ete decrite dans la premiere 

 partie du neuvieme volume parmi les 

 especes du genre Hcemylis ; la Lita 

 peliella fut decrite dans son volume 

 supplemental (le dixieme). 



Stephens dans ses " Illustrations 

 of British Entomology," Haustellata, 

 vol. iv. publiee en 1834, a place la 

 plupart de ces insectes, qui alors lui 

 etaient connus, dans le genre Ana- 

 campsis, et en a decrit une espece 

 nouvelle sous le nom de Suboceliea; 

 il a decrit une autre espece nouvelle, 

 la Lucidella, dans son genre Cleodora. 



En 1838 a paru le onzieme volume 

 des " Lepidopteres de France" par 

 Duponchel, dans lequel les insectes 

 du genre dont il s'agit ici, sont 

 partages dans les deux genres Ana- 

 campsis et Lita; dans ce dernier il 

 a decrit et figure quatre especes 

 nouvelles (les Velocella, Alacella, 

 Electella et Albumelta) ; quelques
