PTEROPHORIDiE. 
Zeller publishes (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 321-339) an abstract of 
Wallengren’s paper on the Scandinavian species of this group. He remarks 
that the characters given by Wallengren for the Pterophoridce as opposed to 
the Alucilxna do not apply to all the genera referred to the former, the essen- 
tial distinction of which ho expresses as follows : — Hind wings in repose 
entirely concealed beneath the narrow fore wings which stand olf widely from 
the body.” Zeller accepts Wallengren’s determination of the Linncan species 
Alucita monodactyla and pterodactyJOy of v/hich the former is said to be iden- 
tical with Pt. ptcrodactylus (aiict.), and the latter with fiiscus (auct.), but 
thinks that, unless the Linnean collection confirms Wallengreii’s view, his 
identification of A. tesseradactyla (Linn.) with Jisclieri (Zell.) is scarcely ad- 
missible. P. ulodactylus (7jQtt.') = cosmodactylus (ll.-^c\\.') — acantliodactyliis 
(Ilubn.), var. Zeller gives (7 c. pp. 331-332) a translation of WallengTen’s 
table of genera (which amount to 9 under the true Pterophoridce), and subse- 
quently cites the species referred to them, 27 in number. These genera are 
Cncemidophorus (Wall.) altered to Cnemidophorus by Zeller, sp. rliododactylus 
( W. V.) ; Platyptilus (Zell), sp. ochrodactylm (Hiibn.) [upon which Zeller re- 
marks that Wallengren’s diagnosis includes 2 nearly allied species, namely 
ocJirodactylus ll.-^c\\.,7jQ\\.)=dic1irodactylus (Miihl.) and hertrami 
Ilossl.), so that it is doubtful which form inhabits Scandinavia ; Zeller also 
notices an allied North -American form named hiscJwffi,i}jy Schlager], zetter- 
stedtii (Zell), nemoralis (Zell), yonodactylus (W. V.), and tesseradactylus 
(Linn.); Amhlyptilm (H.-Sch.), sp. acanthodactylus (Hiibn.); Oxyptilus 
(Zell), piloselloi (Zell), hieracii (ZdW.), ericetontm (Zell), ohscurus (Zell), 
didactyliis (Linn.) = trichodactylus (Zell), and hohemani (Zell. MS.) ; 
Mimcvseoptilus (Wall.) changed to Mimeseoptilus by Zeller, sp. mictodactyliis 
(W. V.) — jjclidnodactylus (Stein), serotinus (Zell), pterodactylus (Linn.), 
and paludicola (Wall.) ; Oidannatophorus (Wall.) changed to (Edemato- 
phorus by Zeller, sp. lithodactylus (Tr.) ; Pterophorus (Geoff,), sp. mono- 
dactylus (Linn.) ; Leioptilus (Wall.) changed to Lioptilus by Zeller, sp. scaro- 
dactylus (Hiibn.), tephradactylus (Hubn.), microdactyhis (Hiibn.), osteodactylus 
{7jQ\\.)=^microdactyla (Zett), and hrachydactxjlus (Koll); Aciptilus (Hiibn.), 
sp. tctradacUjlus pentadactylus (Linn.). The only Scancli navi an species of 
Alucita A. liexadactyla (E\\\Yi.')—polydaciyla (Hiibn., Zell). 
Stainton (Brit. Butt. & Moths, pi 16) figures Pterophorus acanthodactylus 
(fig. 6), P. pterodactylus (fig. 6), and Alucita poly dactyla (fig. 7).
