 nica," under the name of Tinea sub- 

 piirpiirvlla ; Stephens translated this

 placing the species in liis genus 

 Liunpronia. Staintou, in a paper 

 on the genus Microptcryx, in the 1st 

 vol. N. S. of the "Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of Loudon," 

 described it under the name of 3Ii-

 of the " Insecta Britannica," and by 

 Ilerrieh-Schiiffer in his " Schmetter- 

 linge von Europa."
