The type of the Walker species is in the British Museum. Both the 

 (irote types are in the collection of the American Entomological 

 Society. I use Walker's generic term in preference to Tortr-icodes, 

 used in my list of Lepidoptera, because the South American species 

 : ecu by me resemble our species less than the generic description 

 \\mild indicate.
