'200 [September, 



Curtis, on p. (2), expressed doubt as to silacella, Hb., aud silacea, 

 Hvv., being the same species. The true silacella, Hb., was not one of 

 Stephens' types, and Curtis' action established as the type of Cleodora, 

 Stph., the species then known as silacea, Hw., silacella, Stph. {i. e. 

 lappella, L.), but the actual species which served as the type of Curtis' 

 description of Cleodora was Cleodora eytisella, Crt., for he wrote — 

 " Obs. The species dissected was C. cytisella.^^ This was not one of 

 Ste[)hens' types, and although Cleodora, " Curtis," has always been 

 used for species congeneric with cytisella, it would appear that Palto- 

 dora, Meyr., is the only valid generic name that cytisella has ever 

 possessed. Cleodora, Stph., Crt., was never admissible in either sense, 

 for it was pre-occupied in Mollusca (Per. Les., 1810). 



METZNERIA, Z. 

 Type, Gelechia (Metzneria) paucipunctella, Z. 

 OELECaiA, Hb. (B. /8) Metzneria, Z., Is., 1839, 197, (202). 

 1. paucipunctella, Z. 2. lappella, L. (= aestivella, Z.). 



3. neu7'oplerella, Z. 

 As Zeller was best acquainted with paucipunctella, this speciea 

 should be regarded as the type of the genus. 



Metzneria is omitted in Scudder's Nomenclator. 



PAKASIA, Dp. 

 Type, Gelechia (Metzneria) neuropterella, Z. (Dp., 1846). 

 Paeasia, Dp., Cat. Meth. Lp. Eur., 350—1 (1846). 

 Type, neuropterella, Z. (FR. MS., Dp.), 

 U.S., Stu., Frey., Hein., Stgr. & Wk., Snell., Meyr., &c. 



ISCHNOSCIA, Meyr. 



Type, Guenea borreonella, Mill. (Meyr., 1895). 



%GUENEA, Mill., Ic, III, 436-7 (1874). 

 Type, borreonella, Mill. 



IscHNOSCiA, Meyr., HB. Br. Lp., 783 (1895). 



Type, borreonella, Mill. (= subtilella, Fuchs, Meyr.). 



Wlsm., Ent. Mo. Mag., XXXI, 286 (1895), sunk Ischnoscia, Meyr., 

 in favour of Guenea, Mill., overlooking the fact that Guenea, M.\\\., was 

 pre-occupied in Lepidoptera [Bruand, Cat. Lp. Doubs., II, 77 (1847)]. 

 Bruaud'e genus is omitted in Scudder's Nomenclator.
