 to those formerly in use, since we consider it proper that the family name 

 should be taken from a genus which is not a synonym, and under this 

 restriction the rule of priority applied. We have, therefore, discarded 

 the names Limacodidae and Cochlidiidte, since the genera Limacodes 

 and Cochlidion, on which they were founded, have been relegated to
