STATIIMOPODA PEDELLA. [PlATE II. FiG. 1. 



described by Fabricius in his " Ge- 

 nera Insectorum," under the name of 

 Tinea cylindrella, and this descrip- 

 tion was repeated in his later works 

 and then copied by the compilers. 

 Panzer figured the insect in his 

 " Insecta Germanica," under the 

 name of Ypsilophus cylindricus — 

 he shows the connecting dark streak 

 on the disc between the two fuscous 

 blotches, a character not mentioned 

 either by Linne or Fabricius. Hiib- 

 ner next figured the in«ect as Tinea 

 angustipennellay and Treitschke, in 

 his *' Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 described it as Ornix angustipen- 

 nella. Duponchel, in his ''Lepi- 

 dopteres de France," described and 

 figured it under the name of Ela- 

 chista angustipennella. Zeller, in 

 the "Isis" of 1839, pointed out that 

 lliibnev's Angustipennella was iden- 

 tical with Linne's Pedella. Stain- 

 ton, in his volume of the " Insecta 

 Britannica," described the insect 

 under the name of Stathmopoda 

 pedella, and under this name it is 

 also noticed by Frey in his " Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," and 

 by Herrich-Schiiifer in his " Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa." Stainton, in 

 the "Entomologist's Weekly Intel- 

 ligencer," vol. viii. p. 121, called 

 attention to the peculiar position of 

 the hind legs of this species in re- 

 pose, the character noticed by Linne 

 in 1761, and from which he derived 

 the specific name, but of which no 

 more detailed notice was to appear 

 in print till 1860; and this notice 

 was repeated in the " Entomologist's 

 Annual" for 1861, p. 112. 



I'egard de la chenille. Ensuite Fa- 

 bricius a decrit I'insecte dans ses 

 "Genera Insectorum" sous le nom de 

 Tinea cylindrella, et cette descrip- 

 tion est repetee dans ses oeuvres pos- 

 terieurs et alors copiee par les com- 

 pilateurs. Panzer figura I'insecte 

 dans ses " Insecta Germanica," sous 

 le nom di Ypsilophus cylindricus, 

 et il representa la strie foncee sur 

 le disque qui lie ensemble les deux 

 plaques brunes, dont ni Linne, ni 

 Fabricius n'avait fait aucune men- 

 tion. Plus tard Hiibner figura 

 I'insecte sous le nom de Tinea an- 

 gustipennella, et Treitschke, dans 

 ses " Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 I'a decrit sous le nom di^ Ornix an- 

 gustipennella; Duponchel dans ses 

 " Lepidopteres de France" I'a decrit 

 et figure sous le nom d^JSlachista an- 

 gustipennella. Zeller dans 1' "Isis" 

 de 1839 nous a signale que V Angus- 

 tipennella de Hiibner est en efiet la 

 Pedella de Linne. Stainton dans 

 son volume des "Insecta Britannica" 

 decrivit I'insecte sous le nom de 

 Stathmopoda pedella, nom sous le- 

 quel Frey en parle dans ses " Tineen 

 und Pterophoren der Schweiz," et 

 Herrich-Schiifier dans ses "Schmet- 

 terlinge von Europa." Stainton dans 

 r " Entomologist's Weekly Intelli- 

 gencer," vol. viii. p. 121, a tire 

 I'attention a la position extraordi- 

 naire des pattes posterieures en 

 repos chez cette espece, caractere 

 dont Linne a parle en 1761, et d'ou 

 il a derive le nom specifique, mais 

 dont une notice plus detaillee n'a ete 

 imprimee qu'en 1860 ; et cette notice 

 fut repetee dans F " Entomologist's 

 Annual" pour 1861, a p. 112.
