Synonymy. 

 First named l)y II iibncr, who fiffurcd 

 it in his " Samndunfj: Eiirojdiisclicr 

 Schmcttcrlingc" as Tinea dcccm- 

 gutteUa; he omitted the basal sub- 

 costal spot, so that his figure only 

 roprcscuts ten spots. Ilaworth de- 

 scribed it in his " Lcpidoptera 

 Britannica" under the name of Er- 

 minea dodeceo. He says of the 

 spots " circitcr duodccim," which 

 may be considered near enough, as 

 he had only seen one specimen, and 

 might think the number of spots 

 liable to vary ; we noAV know the 

 number of spots to be eleven. 

 Treitschke described it in his 

 " Schmettcrlingc von Europa" under 

 the name of Yponomenta decem- 

 gnitella, and Stephens in his " Illus- 

 trations" described it under the name 

 of Anesi/cliifi dodccea. In 1836 

 Freycr figured the larva and imago, 

 and described the habits of the 

 species, in the second volume of his 

 " Neuere Beitrlige zur Schmetter- 

 lingskunde," under the name of Vpo- 

 nomeuta decemguttella, which is 

 the name used by Duponchel in his 

 " Lepidoptcres de France." Zellcr 

 in the " Isis" of 1844 described the 

 insect under the name of Psecadia 

 decenir/1/tfclhi. Stainton in his 

 volume of the '' Insccta Britannica" 

 described the species under the name 

 of Ajufujchia decemguttella (and 

 refers to the notice which Mr. Har- 

 ding had given of its habits, in the 

 pages of the " Zoologist," under the 

 name of Mclanoleuca dodecca).
