GELECHIA 



Synonymy. 



First briefly described by Zeller 

 in the A Isis " of 1839, under the 

 name of Gelechia pictella ; under this 

 name it has since been described by 

 Douglas in the "Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of London," 

 vol. i. N. S., by Stainton in his 

 volume of the " Insecta Britannica," 

 and by Herrich-SchafTer, who also 

 figures it, in his "Schmetterlinge von 

 Europa." The Tinea Germarella of 

 Hiibner may have been intended to 

 represent this insect, but the pale 

 spot which he represents on the 

 inner margin near the base does not 

 occur in Pictella. 



The synonymy is hence briefly as 

 follows : — 

 Gelechia pictella —

Synonymie. 



Decrite d'abord brievement par 

 Zeller dans l'^Isis" de 1839, sous 

 le nom de Gelechia pictella ; nom sous 

 lequel elle flat ensuite decrite par 

 Douglas dans les " Transactions de la 

 Societe Entomologique de Londres," 

 vol. i. N. S., par Stainton dans son 

 volume des " Insecta Britannica/' et 

 par Herrich-SchafTer, qui l'a aussi 

 figuree, dans ses "Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa." II est possible que 

 Hiibner ait eu en vue cet insecte en 

 figurant sa Tinea Germarella, mais la 

 tache que sa figure presente sur le 

 bord interne pres de la base ne se 

 trouve point chez la Pictella. 



La synonymie est done assez 

 courte, comme suit : — 

 Gelechia pictella —
