GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE GENUS GLYPHIPTERYX. 



himself writes, "Omit Tinea K/c- 

 mannella, -which is T. Fuesli/clfa." 

 At the same page, 509, he desciibi^s 

 also a Tinea Forsterella, which is 

 certainly one of this genus, though 

 ■whether Erjuitella or Oculatella it 

 would now be hard to say. Berg- 

 strasserclla he described in the same 

 work at p. 302. 



Hiibncr, in his "Sammluug Euro- 

 piiischer Schmetterlinge," figured 

 Thrasonella twice, once under the 

 name of Seppella, fig. 223, and 

 again as Aillyella, fig. 431 ; and 

 Bei'gstriissereUa also twice, first 

 as a Tortrix under the name of 

 Linncana, fig. 84, and next as a 

 Tinea under the name oi Linneella, 

 fig. 436. 



Donovan, in the 11th volume of 

 his "■ British Insects," represents 

 ThrasoneUa under the appropriate 

 name of Phalcena tricjuttella, but 

 both in his figure and description iie 

 represents the ground-colour of the 

 anterior wings as brown. Haworth, 

 in his "Lepidoptera Britannica," first 

 described Fuscovii-idclla, placing it 

 in his genus Tinea, and his Tinea 

 Forsterella was probably intended 

 for EfjnitcUa, his var. /?, "duplo 

 minor," being probably Fischeriella ; 

 he also notices the Fyeslella of Fa- 

 bricius, quoting the Triguttella of 

 DonoA'an as a synonym, and assign- 

 ing the correct habitat "in juncetis," 

 but he places it far away from its 

 congeners in the genus Gracillaria. 



espece Fabricius a voulu indiqucr, 

 et a page 509 dii meme volume 

 Fabricius ecrit lui-meme, " Rayez la 

 Tinea Klema7i7iella, qui est la T. 

 Ftteslgella." A cette page aussi il 

 dccrit une Tinea Forsterella, qui 

 appartient assurement a ce genre, 

 mais il serait assez dilficile a pro- 

 noncer si ce soit YEquitella ou 

 VOcnlatella; il decrit dans le meme 

 ouvrage la Bergstrdsserella a p. 

 302. 



IILibuer a figure la Thrasonella 

 deux fois, d'abord a fig. 223 sous le 

 nom de Seppella, ensuite a fig. 431 

 sous celui iX Aillyella ; et il a de 

 meme figure la Bergstrdsserella 

 deux fois, d'abord comme Tordeuse 

 sous le nom de Liiineana, fig. 84, et 

 ensuite comme Tineite soi;s celui de 

 Linneella, fig. 436. 



Donovan a represente la Thra- 

 sonella dans le onzieme volume de 

 ses " British Insects," sous le nom 

 fort a propos de Phalcena trigut- 

 tella, mais dans sa figure et dans sa 

 description il donne une couleur 

 brune au fond des ailes anterieures. 

 Ila worth dans ses " Lepidoptera 

 Britannica" a decrit pour la premiere 

 fois laFuscoviridella, qu'il place dans 

 son genre Tinea, et par sa Tinea 

 Forsterella il a peut-etre voulu in- 

 diquer YEquitella, sa variete ft, 

 " duplo minor," etant peut-etre la 

 Fischeriella ; il a aussi la Fyeslella 

 de Fabricius, y citant comme syno- 

 nyme la Triguttella de Donovan, et 

 en disant justemeut "habitat in jim- 

 cetis," mais il I'eloigne beaucoup de 

 ses congenores en la pla9ant dans le 

 genre Gracillaria,
