GELECHIA INOPELLA. 



[Plate XV. Fig. 2. 



and Anacampsis inopella. After 

 keeping the specimens as distinct 

 species for several years, I have 

 arrived now at the conclusion that 

 Paupella is the normal form of the 

 specimens bred at the end of August 

 from the larvae which feed in the 

 beginning of August, and that Ino- 

 pcfla is the normal form of the speci- 

 mens bred in early summer from the 

 pupae which have wintered. 



Hence the synonymy will be as 

 follows : —

P.S. Continental specimens, bred 

 from Gnaphalium arenarium, do not 

 seem to differ specifically from British 

 specimens bred from the autumnal 

 larvae on Inula dysenterica — the dark 

 markings of the anterior wings are 

 perhaps a little browner and less 

 tawny. 



dividus comme especes distinctes 

 pendant plusieurs annees, je me suis 

 maintenant convaincu que la Paupella 

 est la forme normale des individus 

 eleves a la fin d'Aout de chenilles 

 qui se nourrissent au commencement 

 de ce mois, et que V Inopella est la 

 forme normale des individus eleves 

 au commencement d'ete des chry- 

 salides qui ont hiverne.

P.S. Des individus du Continent 

 eleves du Gnaphalium arenarium ne 

 se distinguent point specifiquement 

 des individus Britanniques eleves des 

 chenilles d'automne de Y Inula dysen- 

 terica ; les dessins fonces des ailes 

 anterieures sont peut-^tre un peu 

 plus bruns et moins fauves.
