ZELLEUIA SAXIFUAG.K. 



[Plate III. Fig. 3. 



Synonymy. 

 First described by Frcy, in hit- 

 " Tiiieen uud Pterophoreu dor 

 Scliweiz," under the uame of Zcl- 

 leria fasciapennella, a specimeu he 

 had scut to me for my opinion having 

 been incautiously pronounced by me 

 to be that species. Herrich-Schiiifcr 

 described this insect as the female 

 of Swammerdamia alpicella in his 

 " Schmetterliuge von Euroj)a ;" but 

 the male and the insect figured are 

 totally (generically) distinct. In his 

 " Neue Schmetterlinge aus Europa 

 und den angreuzendeu Landeru," he 

 gives a very good figure of the pre- 

 sent species. The name SaxifragcB 

 was proposed for this species by 

 Staiuton in the " Transactions of 

 the Entomological Society of London 

 for 1868," in a paper entitled " A 

 few Observations on the Synonymy 

 of Tinea ? alpicella and Zelleria 

 Saxifragce, n. sp." 



Synonymie. 

 Decritc pour la premiere fois i)ar 

 Frey dans ses " Tineen uud Ptero- 

 phoreu der Schweiz," sous le nom 

 de Zelleria fasciapennella, puisque 

 j'avais iuconsideremeut rapporte a 

 cette espece Ecossaise un individu 

 qu'il m'avait envoye pour determi- 

 nation. rierrich-Schiifter I'a ensuite 

 decrite dans ses " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa" comme la femelle de 

 la Swammerdamia alpicella ; mais 

 le male et Tinsecte figure sent en- 

 tierement (mcme geueriquemeut) 

 distiucts. Dans ses '' Neue Schmet- 

 terliuge aus Europa und den angren- 

 zenden Landeru" il figm^e ti'cs-bien 

 I'espece que nous considerons. Stain- 

 ton a propose le nom Saxifragee 

 dans les Transactions de la Societe 

 Eutomologique de Londres pour 

 1868, dans im article qui a pour titre 

 "A few Observations on the Syno- 

 nymy of Tinea 7 alpicella and
