mentioned, refers exc-lii.sively to 

 Swamtnerdu m ia g riseocapitella . 

 Duponcliol, in the 11th volume of 

 his " Li''[)i(lo])leres de France," de- 

 scribes this insect as Tinea Herol- 

 della ; and he speaks of the two 

 white costal spots, which are also 

 represented in the figure, as well 

 as the white inner margin, but the 

 ground colour is too dark. In his 

 4th supplementary volume he has a 

 Tinea oxyacanthella, Avliich may 

 represent the female of this species. 

 Stainton, in his volume of the " In- 

 secta Britannica," describes the 

 imago under the name of Swam- 

 merdamia ccesiella, but hints that 

 the larva is polyphagous, and says 

 that he had found it on birch. Her- 

 rich-Schliffer correctly describes and 

 figures the imago under the same 

 name ; and Frey also, retaining this 

 name in his " Tiueen und Pteropho- 

 ren der Schweiz," correctly gives 

 the diagnosis of this species. 



" Schmetterliuge von luiropa;" mais 

 la description qu'il donne de la 

 chenille, comme nous venons de 

 dire, se rapporte exclusivement a 

 la Swammerdamia griseocapitella. 

 Duponchel dans le onzieme volume 

 de ses " Lepidopteres de France" 

 decrii I'espece sous le nom de Tinea 

 IlcroldeUa, et il parle des deux 

 taches costales blanches, qu'il a 

 egalemeut representees dans la 

 figure, aussi bien que le bord interne 

 blanc, mais le fond est trop fonce. 

 Dans son quatrieme volume Supple- 

 mentaire il a ime Tinea oxyacan- 

 thella, qui represeute peut-etre la 

 femelle de notre Ccesiella. Stainton 

 dans son volume des " Insecta Bri- 

 tannica" decrit le papillon sous le 

 nom de Swammerdamia ccesiella, 

 mais il a Fidee que la chenille est 

 polyphague et dit I'avoir trouvee 

 sur le houleau. Ilerrich-SchiitFer a 

 bien decrit et figure I'espece sous ce 

 meme nom ; et Frey, qui retient 

 egalement ce nom dans ses " Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," a 

 justemeut diagnose I'espece.
