GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS GELECHIA. 



by him in Italy and Sicily ; in this 

 Vilella, Detersella, Plebejella, Lam- 

 prostoma, Salinella, Remissella, Dimi- 

 nutella, Nigrinotella, Nigritella (nine 

 species), were first described, and 

 long notices are given of several 

 other interesting southern forms. 

 In the same year appeared " Teng- 

 strom's Bidrag till Finlands Fjaril- 

 Fauna," in which five new species, 

 Pullatella, Flavipalpella, Plantariella, 

 Serratulella and Cinerosella, are de- 

 scribed ; the two last named are 

 stated, however, in his later work, 

 " Anmarkningar och Tillagg till 

 Finlands Smafjaril-Fauna" (1859), 

 to be only one species. 



In the years 1849—1852 there 

 appeared in the " Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of London" 

 a series of papers (six in number) 

 " On the British Species of the Genus 

 Gelechia of Zeller, by J. W. Douglas, 

 Esq." These began in the fifth 

 volume, and were continued and con- 

 cluded in the first volume, new series, 

 of the Transactions — in these papers, 

 Divisella, Desertella, Mundella, Suffu- 

 sella, Inornatella, Bifractella, Littorella, 

 Immaculatella, Fumatella, Fraternella, 

 Vicinella, Macu lifer ella, Junctella, Bo- 

 reella, P olit ella, Cuneat ella andCelerella, 

 were first described ; and histabilella, 

 already described by Douglas in the 

 "Zoologist" for 1846, is again no- 

 ticed, and Acuminatella, which Sir- 

 corn had described in the " Zoolo- 

 gist " for 1850, is identified with the 

 Cirsiella, briefly described by Stainton 

 in his " Supplementary Catalogue." 



observees en Italie et en Sicile : 

 nous trouVons dans ce memoire les 

 premieres descriptions de neuf especes 

 de ce genre: savoir, les Vilclla, Deter- 

 sella, Plebejella, Lamprostoma,Salinella, 

 Remissella, Diminutella, Nigrinotella et 

 Nigritella ; et nous y trouvons aussi 

 des observations assez detaillees sur 

 plusieurs autres especes meridionales 

 interessantes. Dans la meme annee 

 a paru le travail de Tengstrom, 

 " Bidrag till Finlands Fjaril-Fauna," 

 dans lequel cinq especes nouvelles 

 sont decrites, la Pullatella, Flavipal- 

 pella, Plantariella, Serratulella et Cine- 

 rosella; les deux dernieres de ces 

 descriptions sont reconnues dans son 

 ouvrage plus recent, "Anmarkningar 

 och Tillagg till Finlands Smafjaril- 

 Fauna" (1859), comme se rapportant 

 a une seule et meme espece. 



Pendant les annees 1849 — 1852 

 plusieurs memoires (au nombre de 

 6) ont paru dans les " Transactions

 J. W. Douglas. lis ont commence 

 dans le cinquieme volume de ces 

 Transactions, et sont continues et 

 portes a la fin dans le premier volume 

 de la nouvelle serie ; c'est ici que 

 nous trouvons les premieres descrip- 

 tions des Divisella, Desertella, Mun-

 que Douglas avait deja decrite dans 

 le " Zoologiste" de 1846, est men-
