looked. It occurs near London, 

 and has been observed at Pembury, 

 Lewes, Folkestone, Ryde, Bristol, 

 Teignmouth and Bideford. On the 

 Continent it occurs in Germany near 

 Glogau, Frankfort-on-the-Oder, Me- 

 seritz, near Vienna and at Freiburg in 

 the Breisgau ; in Istria at Fiume, in 

 Italy at Leghorn, Ardenza and An- 

 tignano, and in Sicily at Syracuse ; it 

 has also been observed in Livonia, 

 and in Corsica. 



Synonymy. 

 First described by Zeller, in the 

 "Isis" of 1839, under the name of 

 Gelechia inopella. In the "Isis" of 

 1847, the same author described a 

 larger and yellower specimen from 

 Syracuse, under the name of Gelechia 

 paupelfa, remarking, however, that it 

 was possibly only a southern form 

 of Inopella. Curtis next described 

 it in the " Annals and Magazine of 

 Natural History," 2nd series, vol. v., 

 under the name of Aphelosetia 1 inu- 

 lella, and this description is copied 

 by Douglas in the " Transactions of 

 the Entomological Society of Lon- 

 don," vol. i. N. S., where he assigns 

 to the insect the Zellerian name of 

 Inopella. Later in the same volume 

 Douglas introduces Paupella in the 

 British list, on the authority of a 

 specimen taken near Folkestone, 

 which had been submitted to the 

 examination of Professor Zeller. 

 Stainton, in his volume of the ** In- 

 secta Britannica," describes the two 

 insects under the names of Gelechia 

 paupella and Gelechia inopella. Her- 

 rich-Schaflfer, in his "Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," describes and figures 

 the two forms of the insect under 

 the names of Anacampsis abnormclla

Synonymie. 

 Decrite d'abord par Zeller dans 

 P* Isis" de 1839, sous le nom de 

 Gelechia inopella. Le meme auteur 

 a decrit dans 1'" Isis" de 1847 un 

 individu plus grand et plus jaune de 

 Syracuse, sous le nom de Gelechia 

 paupella, en faisant cependant la re- 

 marque que cela pouvait bien n'etre 

 qu'une variete meridionale de Y Ino- 

 pella. Curtis l'a ensuite decrite dans 

 les "Annals et Magaz. of Nat. Hist." 

 2nd series, vol. v., sous le nom d' Aphe- 

 losetia ? inulella, et cette description 

 est copiee par Douglas dans les 

 " Transactions de la Societe Entomo- 

 logique de Londres," vol. i. N. S., ou 

 il assigne a l'insecte le nom donne par 

 Zeller d' Inopella. Plus tard dans le 

 m&me volume Douglas introduit la 

 Paupella parmi les especes Britanni- 

 ques, sur l'autorite d'un individu pris 

 pres de Folkestone, et qui avait ete 

 soumis a la determination du Profes- 

 seur Zeller. Stainton, dansson volume 

 des " Insecta Britannica," a decrit les 

 deux formes sous les noms de Gelechia 

 paupella et G. inopella. Herrich- 

 SchafFer dans ses " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa" decrit les deux formes 

 sous les noms d' Anacampsis abnormella 

 et A. inopella. Ay ant garde les in-
