hindwini>', which Zeller mentions in hi.s species, belong-ing to this genus 

 and which Lord Walsing-hani reg-arded as of generic value/ 



I have liefore (p. 771) given the reasons why I can not agree with 

 him in this. 



Clemens's careful definition of Emgora aplcltripunctella does not 

 leave any doubt about the generic characters of that species, even if 

 there mav be some differences of opinion about the identification of 

 the species (p. 809). 



The type of Chambers's genus S!noe \h fus<x>paUideU((^ of which the 

 unique type is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. This is in 

 very poor condition, but shows positively that its generic characters 

 are the same as those of Ewigora and of the two European species, 

 nanella Hiibner and leucatella Linnaeus, at present included by Stau- 

 dinger and Rebel in Reeurmria as now restricted {Aphanaida Meyrick). 



The type of Chambers's genus Eidothoa, vagationella^ I regard as 

 synonymous with Zeller's Gelrchla dorMtvitteUd. which also belongs to 

 the present genus.
