LAVERNA FULVESCENS.

have more recently knov/a umler 

 the name of LcDujicUa. 



Rchner's name o? EpilohkUa must 

 therefore be retaiued for that species, 

 and Schrauk's name of Epilobiella 

 must siuk in favour of the next 

 oklest name Avhich has been given 

 to tlie insect we are now consider- 

 ing, and this was Rccurvaria fiil- 

 vcscens, which appeared in 1829 in 

 the 4th part of Ilaworth's " Lepi- 

 doptera Britannica." Stephens, in 

 his " lUustrations," also retained 

 this name, but referred the species 

 to his genus Anacampsis, and gave 

 an inferior description of the same 

 insect under the name of Clcodora 

 nebnlella, Avhich was copied hj 

 Curtis in his " British Entomology." 



Bouche briefly notices this insect, 

 both in his " Garten-Insekten" and 

 " Naturgeschichte der Insekten," 

 under the name of Tinea epilo- 

 biella. Treitschke, in his Supple- 

 mentary volume, described the spe- 

 cies as new uiulcr the name of 

 QLcophora epilobiella; and Fischer 

 von Ruslerstamm, in his "Abbild- 

 ungen," etc., described and figured 

 it under the same name. Dujjouchel 

 seems to have intended to describe 

 this insect as (Ecophora epilobiella, 

 but no one would recognize it from 

 his figure. Stainton, in his volume 

 of the "Insecta Britannica," describes 

 the insect under the name o^ Laverna 

 epilobiella; and this name is retained 

 by Ilerrich-Schiiirer in his " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa," and by Frey 

 in his " Tineen und Ptero])horeu der 

 Schweiz," and in his IMunograpli 

 of the treuus Laverna iu the Htli 



(VAliicifa epilobiella, I'espece que 

 nous avons depuis long-temps connue 

 sous le nom do Langiclla. 



II faut done retenir pour cette 

 derniere espece le nom d! Epilobiella, 

 Romer, et abaudonner le nom d' Epi- 

 lobiella, Schrauk, en faveur du pie- 

 mier nom donue depuis son temps a 

 I'insecte dont nous traitous, ce qui 

 fut Recurvaria fulvescens, qui a 

 paru en 1829 dans la quatrieme 

 partie des "Lepidoptera Britannica" 

 de Haworth. Stephens dans ses 

 " Illustrations" a retenu ce nom en 

 rapportant I'espece a son genre Aita- 

 ca?npsis, et donna ime description 

 peu satisfaisante de la meme espece 

 sous le nom de Cleodora nebulella ; 

 cette description fut copiee par 

 Curtis dans son " British Entomo- 

 logy." 



Bouche parle brievement de notre 

 espece dans ses " Garten-Insekten," 

 et dans sa "Naturgeschichte der In- 

 sekten," sous le nom de Tinea epilo- 

 biella. Treitschke dans son volume 

 Supplementaire a decrit I'espece 

 comme nouvelle sous le nom d' (Eco- 

 phora epilobiella,etFischevyon Riis- 

 lerstamm, dans ses "Abbildungen," 

 etc., I'a decrite et figuree sous le 

 meme nom. Duponchel parait avoir 

 voulu decrire cet insecte sous le nom 

 CC€E!cophora epilobiella, mais per- 

 sonne ne la reconnal trait d'apres sa 

 figure. Stainton dans son volume 

 des "Insecta Britannica" a decrit 

 I'espece sous le nom de Eaverna 

 epilobiella, et ce nom est retenu par 

 llerrich-SchiilFer dans ses " Schmet- 

 terliuge von Europa," et par Frey 

 dans ses " Tineen und Pteroplioren 

 dor Schweiz," et dans son Mono- 

 graphe du genre Laverna dans le
