508 HETEROCERA. 
The genonym Phycis F. is valid and must be used for either boletella F. or 
spissicella F. Ochsenheimer was certainly justified in limiting the application of 
Phycis to the Tineid, and Zincken’s arguments are fallacious, for Fabricius’ description 
was obviously based on doletelia F., and not on spissicella F. 
Curtis founded the genus Phycita on Tinea spissicella F. (tspicicella Crt.) and cited 
this species as his Type—the genonym Phycita Crt. was adopted by Ragonot in his 
Monograph of the Phycitinae, and has since been generally used in that family.
