History of the Study of the Genus. 

 TIk! l<iiifj-lif)niO(l iiHitli.s liavc al- 

 ways attracted attention, and \vc find 

 in Linne's " Fanna Succica " four 

 species, SiffiDiDU rdtnitmclld, licntt- 

 nuirclla, DccjccrdUi and liobcrtclhi, 

 placed iu juxtaposition. It is true 

 the first and last of these arc refera- 

 Me to the genus Nemophora, but 

 Dcyccrella is a true Adda and still 

 bears its Linna^an name. Thc/j't'o?/- 

 mui-clla has never been detcimiued 

 satisfactorily, for the description 

 rather points to I'lridc/ht, but the 

 "Habitat in Salicc" makes one think 

 of CitprcUa ; probably both species 

 were blended in the ideas of Linne. 

 In the 12th edition of the " Systema 

 Natura;" we have one additional 

 specie, Sultzella, which may have 

 been the female (if Dcf/ccrclla ; the 

 PodueUa of Linne, placed between 

 SitltzcUa and liohertclla, may not 

 Jiave been a " lou<jr-horu." 



Rropoli in his " Entomologica 

 Carniolicu" has six species placed 

 together: Scahiosella, ViridcUa, 

 BarhciicUa, Dcr/ccrclla, Crcvsella 

 and IiiiJimitrcU((, and one placed 

 sepai'ately, Lcucoccrella. His Sca- 

 hiosella is the well known Ncmotois 

 of that name; his J'iridclla, Rufi- 

 mitrclld and Lcucoccrella are true

Histoire de I'Etude du Genre. 



Les j)halcnes u antennes longues 

 out toujours attire Tutteution des 

 entomologistes,et nous trouvonsdans 

 la "Fauna Suecica" de Linne (piatre 

 especes, les Swammerdamviclld, 

 Rcanmiirella, Degeerella et lioher- 

 tclla, placees immediatement I'une 

 apres Tautre. II est vrai que de ces 

 quatre, la premiere et la dernierc se 

 rafiportent plutot au genre Xvmo- 

 phora, mais la Degccrella porta son 

 nom Liuneeu j usqu'a cc jour. On n'a 

 jamais pu se satisfairc quelle espece 

 Linne a voulu indiquer par sa lieait- 

 murella, car la description nous fait 

 penser a la I'iridella, pendant que 

 le " Habitat in Salicc" semble in- 

 diquer la Cuprclla ; peut-etre les 

 deux especes etaient entremelees 

 dans les idees de Linne. Dans la 

 12eme edition du " Systema Na- 

 tural" nous trouvons une autre espece, 

 la Sultzella, mais il est possible que 

 ce n'etait que la femelle de la De- 

 geerclla; quant a \a Podaella que 

 Linne a placee entre la Sultzella et 

 la liohertclla il est assez possible 

 qu'elle n'etait pas une " phalene a, 

 antennes longues." 



Scopoli dans son " Entoraologia 

 Carniolica" a six especes placees en- 

 semble : les Scahiosella, Viridella, 

 Barhatella, Derfcerella, Crfcsella, 

 et Ihijiiiiitrclla, ct une ])lacee isole-
