3681. hieronella Z. — Syracuse, 23. IV.; Taormina, 3. V. 



3746. fretella Z. — Palermo, 1-6. JV, 1 met witb typical fretella 

 and the variety pahuleUa, agieeing witli Zeller's Types aucl desciip- 

 tions, at Palermo , in tlie first week in Aprii, where tbey were not 

 uncommon on tlie upper side of the golf-links. Zeller took bis im- 

 hulella ou Aprii 2, and h'xa Jretella ou Aprii 16, 1844, both single 

 specimens ouly at Messina. In bis cabinet he i)laced witb tbese, two 

 specimens of 3735 laticostella Mn., received from Mann, from Brus.sa 

 (Asia Minor) , and evidently regarded thera as the same. Mann de- 

 seribed bis species [VVien. Pint. Mts. 3. 175 (1859)], as taken in June, 

 at Partinico, at the edge of a tìeld; he also states that he met witb 

 it at Brussa — laticostella seems to be quite distinct from frettila , 

 but I did not meet witb it in Sicily. 



* 3822. crocogrammos Z. {=lmeola Auct., nec Hw. — teste Sich. and 

 Drut.)— Palermo, two specimens bred from numeroiis cases , found 

 on a single plant of Ballota (probably nigru). bebind La Favorita. 

 The cases ditfer from the ordinary form, but are the same as some 

 sent by Zeller to Stainton as « lineala ex Ballota nigra », New to 

 Sicily. 



* 3829. troglodytella Dp. — Syracuse, 26. IV., two specimens. New 

 to Sicily.

 417. APHELOSETIA Stpb. [= Elachista (Tr.) Z., Stgr-Bbl.]. 



In 1908 I pointed out that Elachista Tr. was proposed for tlie 

 reception of species whose larvae lived on the nnderside of leaves 

 of trees, or mine<l within the leaves of tree.s, and siink Treitschke's 

 genus as a synonym of Pliijllorgcter Hb. ( = Lithocolletis ) adopting 

 Aphelosetia Stpb. for the grass-feeding siìecìes ( Elachista Anct.)— vide
