Synonymy. 

 About 100 ycur.s ago Klocmann 

 fifjured the transformations and habit 

 of the hirva of this insect, on the 

 36tii plate of his continuation of 

 Rosel's "Insecten-Behistiguug;" the 

 hxrvai he had received from his 

 friend Korner of Frankfort, on the 

 9th October, 1763, but no scientific 

 name was then suggested for the 

 insect. The specific name of Kor- 

 nericUn was first proposed by Zcller 

 in the "Isis" of 1839, and retained 

 by him in the 5th volume of the 

 " Linna}a Entomologica," where the 

 insect is fully described as Iiiciir- 

 varia KdnicricUa. Under this 

 name the insect has also been de- 

 scribed by Frey in his " Tineen und 

 Ptei'ophoren der Sclnveiz," by Iler- 

 rich-SchiifTer in his " Schmetter- 

 linge von Europa," and by von 

 Ileinemann in his " Schmetterlinge 

 Deutschlands iind der Schweiz." 

 llerrich-Scluifi^cr figured the insect 

 under the name of Riijimiti-clla, and 

 it is possible that Hiibner may have 

 intended his Rujimitrella to repre- 

 sent thisj insect. 



My Gennan friends will persist 

 that tiie Tinea (ingitsticostclla of 

 my " Catalogue" (1849, p. 7) is this 

 insect. As that insect was referred 

 by me in the volume of the " Insecta 

 liritaunica" (1854, p. 35) to Tinea 

 siniji/icflln, and as having had the 



commo especo Britanni(|ue. II so 

 trouve communement dans Ics forets 

 de hetrc en Allomagne, et a etv ob- 

 serve dans la Suisse et aussi en Dal- 

 matic et en Caruiole.

 II y a a peii prOs cent ans que 

 Kleemann figura les transformations 

 et les mffiurs de la chenille de cet 

 insecte, sur la 36eme table de sa 

 continuation de 1' " Insecten-Belus- 

 tigung" de RiJsel; il avait ve(;n ces 

 chenilles de son ami Korner de Frank- 

 fort le 9 Octobre, 1763, mais un nom 

 scientifique pour I'insecte ne fut pas 

 alors propose. Le nom de Korneri- 

 ella fut d'abord propose par Zcller 

 dans r " Isis" de 1839, et ce mC'me 

 auteur dccrit I'espece en detail dans 

 le cinquieme volume de la " Linniea 

 Entomologica," sous le nom CCIncur- 

 varia Kornerielta. Sous lequel 

 nom I'insecte a aussi etc decrit par 

 Frey dans ses " Tineen und Ptero- 

 phoren der Schweiz," par Ilcrrich- 

 Schafter dans ses " Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa," et par von Heinemann 

 dans ses " Schmetterlinge Deutsch- 

 lands und der Schweiz." Ilerrich- 

 Schiifltr figura I'insecte sous le nom 

 de RufimitrcUa, et il est possible 

 que Hiibner ait eu Tintention de re- 

 presenter cet insecte par sa Rujimi- 

 trella.
