CHAPTEE X. 



AUTHORS OF THE LAST CENTURY. 



IN this chapter I include the few South-European Tineina described 

 by Linne and Fabricius, and the much greater number included in 

 Scopoli's < Entomologia Carniolica.' It is true that many of these 

 latter to this day remain undeciphered ; but it is quite possible that 

 a diligent exploration of the localities whence Scopoli obtained his 

 species might even at this date lead to the recognition of some of 

 his undetermined species. 



At any rate this work would have been incomplete without a dis- 

 tinct recognition of the labours of Scopoli. 



SECTION I. 

 Linne's * Systema Naturae.' 



This contains three descriptions of Tineina from Portugal, all 

 collected by Don Yandelli, who was himself the author of a " Florae 

 et Faunae Lusitanicae specimen," published in 1797 in the first volume 

 of the Mem. da Acad. real de Scienc. de Lisboa (pp. 39-79).
