VII. TINEIDAE. 



71. (435) STIGMELLA Schrank. 



n. syn. = NEPTICULA Hdn., Z.;=*.*MICROSETIA (Stph.) Kby. (nee 

 Stph-Wstwd.). 



Type 1. Phalaena Tinea anomalella Goeze (Schrank 1802). 

 .STIGMELLA Schrank Fn. Boica II. (2). 169 (1802). 

 1 (Type) anomalella Goeze [ = rosella Schrank Fn. Boica II. (2). 

 139 no. 1890 (1802)]. 



When describing the genus Stigmella, Schrank inadvertently 

 omitted to give the cross-reference to his type, which should 

 have read thus : 



" Hieher gehort : 

 1. Stigmella rosella. 



Tinea rosella meiner Fauna n. 1890." 



It is however obvious that his remark " Ich meyne, dass die 

 mir nicht hinliinglich bekannte Motte, welche die Rosenbliitter 

 gangweise minirt, hieher gehore ", refers to rosella Schrank 

 (Rosenblatt G. 1890), having its " Wohnort : unter der Oberhaut 

 der Bosenblatter, welche die Raupe gangweise minirt." 



Schrank regarded his species as identical with that figured by 

 Degeer (I. PI. 31 '13-21), to which the name anomalella w T as 

 given by Goeze, and Tutt [KE. Br. Lp. I. 206 (1899)] confirms 

 Schrank's identification. It is therefore evident that Stigmella 

 Schrank is the oldest geneonym for species hitherto placed in 

 Nepticula. 



Type 2. Tinea aurella F. (Tutt 1899). 



NEPTICULA Hdn. Ber. Yers. Naturf . Mainz 1843. 208 ; Z. Lin. 

 Ent. III. 249, 301-3 (1848) ; Tutt NH. Br. Lp. I. 184-5 (1899) ; 

 Stgr-Rbl., etc. 



Type 3. Nepticula micr other iella Stn. (Kby. 1897). 



*MICEOSETIA (Stph.) Kby., Lloyd's NEL, HB. Lp. Y. 313-4.
