LAVERNA RIIAMXIF.LLA. 



[Plate VI. Fig. 3. 



Geographical Distribution. 

 This has not been noticed in many 

 localities Avith ns, ]\Ir. Douglas first 

 met with it at Sanderstcad, and it 

 has since been taken at Box Ilill 

 and at Guildford ; also at Pembury, 

 in Sussex ; near Cambridge ; and at 

 Saffron Waldcn, whence Mr. Jeffrey 

 sent me some of the larvas in 1866. 

 In Germany this has been noticed 

 by Professor Zeller near Berlin, 

 Stettin and Glogau, and also on the 

 Spitzbcrg in Silesia, not far from 

 Ilirschberg. In Switzerland Pro- 

 fessor Frey met with it at Ziirich ; 

 and in Italy Ilerr Mann has noticed 

 it at Leghorn. 



Synonymy. 

 First briefly, but characteristically, 

 described by Zeller, in the "Isis" 

 of 1839, as Elachista rhamnicUa. 

 Seven years later Douglas described 

 it in the "Zoologist" for 1846, 

 under the name of Anacampsis 

 lopln/rclla. Staiuton, in his volume 

 of the " Insecta Britanuica," de- 

 scribed it under the name of La- 

 verna rhanmiella ; and under this 

 name it has since been described by 

 Frey, in his " Tineen und Ptero- 

 phoren der Schwciz " and in the 

 14th volume of the " Linna a Ento- 

 mologica." Ilerrich-Schaflc'r, in his 

 " Schmetterlinge von Europa," de- 

 scribes and figures it as Mompha 

 rlianmiella. 



Ilonce the synonymy is as fol- 

 lows : — 

 Elachista rhamnivUa — 



Zeller, Isis, 1839, p. 211.
