GELECHIA LEUCOMELANELLA. [PLATE IX. FlG. 1, 



Synonymy. 

 First described by Zeller in the 

 "Isis" for 1839 under the name of 

 Gelechia leucomelanella ; under this 

 name Herrich-Schaffer described 

 and figured it in his " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," and Stainton described 

 it in the * Entomologist's Annual" 

 for 1859. 



Synonymic 

 Decrite pour la premiere fois par 

 Zeller dans Y" Isis" de 1839, sous le 

 nom de Gelechia leucomelanella ; Her- 

 rich-Schaffer l'a decrite et figuree 

 sous le meme nom dans ses " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa," et Stainton 

 l'a decrite dans 1' u Entomologist's 

 Annual" pour 1859. 



The synonymy will therefore be 

 as follows: — 

 Gelechia leucomelanella — 

 Zeller, Isis, 1839, p. 198. 

 Herrich-Schaffer, Schmett. v. Eu- 

 ropa, v. p. 186, fig. 473. 

 Stainton, Entom. Annual, 1859, 

 p. 150. 



Note. — Not having been able to 

 satisfy myself as to the points of dis- 

 tinction between Leucomelanella and 

 l J ischeriella, I have purposely omitted 

 all comparison between them.

Note. — N'ayant pu me satisfaire 

 quant aux differences specifiques 

 entre la Leucomelanella et la Tis- 

 cheriella, j'ai cru devoir omettre une 

 comparaisop de ces deux especes.
