  As 
  Woodring 
  (1928, 
  p. 
  338) 
  pointed 
  out, 
  the 
  name 
  Alabina 
  was 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  substi- 
  

   tute 
  name, 
  but 
  a 
  different 
  type 
  was 
  chosen 
  for 
  it 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  for 
  which 
  it 
  re- 
  

   placed. 
  It 
  would 
  seem 
  that 
  if 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  of 
  Alabina 
  is 
  not 
  congeneric 
  with 
  Elachista, 
  the 
  

   latter 
  lacks 
  a 
  substitute 
  name 
  ; 
  or 
  if 
  Alabina 
  is 
  a 
  substitute 
  name, 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  of 
  Elachista 
  

   should 
  become 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  of 
  Alabina.
