It is very strange that of insects

 Fnscnviridella and Thrasonella 

 tlic larvai should be still undetected. 



History of the Study of the Genus 

 Glyphipteryx. 

 Scopoli describeil in his " Ento- 

 mologia Carniolica" two species of 

 this genus, Thrasonella and E(/iii- 

 telln, placing them consecutively. 

 The former of these was described 

 by Fabricius, in his "Species In- 

 sectorum," as Tinea Fueslella at 

 p. 301, and again as Tinea Kle- 

 mannella at p. 304 ; but, by some 

 oversight, I have elsewhere referred 

 this last description to E(/nitclla, 

 though " the oblong black spot at 

 the anal angle, comprising three 

 silvery spots," clearly shows which 

 species Fabricius intended ; and at 

 p. 509 of the same v'olume Fabricius 



II est assez singulier que nous 

 iguorons jusqu'a ce jour les chenilles 

 d'especes aussi communes que le sont 

 luFuscociridella et la Thrasotiella. 



Histoire de I'Etude du Genre

Scopoli a deoi'it dans son "Ento- 

 mologia Carniolica" deux especes do 

 ce genre, la Thrasonella et VEqiii- 

 tella, qu'il place consecutivement 

 I'nne apres I'autre. La premiere de 

 celles-ci fut decrite par Fabricius 

 dans ses " Species Insectorum," sous 

 le nom de Tinea Fueslella a p. 301, 

 et encore sous celui de Tinea 

 Klemannella a p. 304; mais, par 

 qnelque inadvertence, j'ai autrefois 

 rapporte cette derniere description a
