ASYCHNA TERMINELLA. 



[Plate IV. Fig. 1. 



land, and also near Scarborough. 

 Herrich-Schaffer records its occur- 

 rence at Dresden and Neu-Strelitz, 

 and I have seen specimens from 

 Aix-la-Chapelle, but hitherto it ap- 

 pears to have been very little noticed 

 on the Continent. 



Synonymy. 

 First described by Westwood 

 in "Humphrey's and Westwood's 

 British Moths," under the name of 

 Glyphipteryx terminella. Stainton, 

 overlooking this description, re- 

 described it in his " Catalogue of 

 British Tineidae," under the name 

 of Elachista patriciella, but in his 

 volume of the "Insecta Britannica" 

 he restored to it the older name of 

 Terminella, placing it in the genus 

 Asychna. Herrich - Schaffer de- 

 scribed it in his " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," under the name of 

 Psacaphora chrysargyrella^ but his 

 figure scarcely does justice to the 

 beauties of the insect. 



gleterre et aussi pres de Scarborough. 

 Herrich- Schaffer dit qu'elle se trouve 

 a Dresde et a Neu-Strelitz, et j'ai 

 vu des individus provenant d' Aix-la- 

 Chapelle, mais jusqu'a ce jour ello 

 a ete tres-peu observee sur le Con- 

 tinent. 



Synonymie. 



Decrite pour la premiere fois par 

 Westwood dans *' Humphrey's and 

 Westwood's British Moths," sous le 

 nom de Glyphipteryx terminella. 

 Stainton negligeant cette descrip- 

 tion I'a decrite comme nouvelle dans 

 son " Catalogue of British Tineidae," 

 sous le nom d! Elachista patriciella, 

 mais dans son volume des " Insecta 

 Britannica" il restitua a I'espece le 

 nom plus ancien de Terminella^ en 

 la pla^ant dans le genre Asychna, 

 Herrich-Schaffer la decrivit dans ses 

 " Schmetterlinge von Europa," sous 

 le nom de Psacaphora chrysargy- 

 rella, mais la figure qu'il en donne 

 ne represente guere toute la beaute 

 de I'insecte.
