TYPES OF AGDISTID, ALUCITID AND ORNEODID PLUME MOTHS. 85 



17G2. Pterophorus, Geoftroy. — Created for same species as Alucita, 

 Linne. Type fixed as pentadactijla by Geoffroy in 1762. Falls as a 

 syuonym of Alucita, having same conception and same type. 



1796. Orneodes, Latreille.— Created by Latreille for the plumes, 

 with " many feathers " in the wings. Type fixed by Latreille, in 1802, 

 as he.radocti/la. 



1S06. BipinopHORA, Hiibner. — Type fixed by Hiibner, in 1806, as 

 /tf.railacti/la, therefore falls as a synonym of Orneudes, Latr. 



1806. Pterophora, Hiibner. — Type fixed by Hiibner, in 1806, as 

 pentailactijla, therefore falls as a synonym of Alitcita. 



182;). Agdistis, Hiibner. — Created by Hiibner, for adacti/la, which 

 is therefore the type. 



Is25. Platyptilia, Hiibner. — Restricted by various authors to the 

 true Platyptiliids as now understood. Type never having been fixed, is 

 now named as f/ouadavti/la [ = nu'(iadactiila, Hb.). 



1825. Amplyptilia, Hiibner. — Evidently, from the plural form used, 

 a misprint for AwhlnptiUa. Restricted by Zeller to acanthudactyla, 

 Hb., and cosmodacti/la, Hb. Type fixed, in 1862, by Wallengren as 

 ocantluidactijla. 



1822. Stenoptilia, Hiibner. — Restricted by Meyrick and others to 

 the '' pterndacti/la {t>(-'>ciis)" and " hi/mnctidacti/la " groups. The type 

 never having been fixed, is now named a.s pterodartifla {=/itil<idacti/la, 

 Hb.). 



1825. Aciptilia, Hiibner. — This is a synonym of PterojtJiora, Hb., 

 1806, since it contains pentad act yla, Hiibner's type of the latter 

 genus. It falls with Pterophora as a synonym of Alucita. 



1825. EucHiRADiA, Hiibner. — Contains hcxadactyla, type of 

 Hiibner's Iiipidojihora, which he omits in 1825. It, therefore, falls 

 before llipidopJiora, with which it sinks as a synonym of (hncodes. 



1833. Adactylus, Curtis. — Type stated by Curtis to be huehneri 

 ( = adact!/la,'H.h.), of which he only knew the figure. All the cha- 

 racters of the genus are described from, and the genus is founded on, 

 the newly-described heniu'tii, which must be considered the type. 



1811. Platyptilus, Zeller. — Created as an extension of I'lati/ptilia, 

 Hb., to include, in addition to species of latter genus, a part of 

 Hiibner's Auihli/ptilia. Type fixed now as i/onodacti/la, so that it falls 

 as a synonym of Platyptilia, Hb. 



1841. Oxyptilus, Zeller. — Created by Zeller for tbe Oxyptilid 

 section of Hiibner's Auihlijptilia. Type now fixed as pilosellae, Zeller. 



1841. Aciptilcs, Zeller. — Created by Zeller as an extension of 

 Hiibner's Aciptilia. Type now fixed as pentadactyla, so that it falls 

 with Aciptilia as a synonym of Alucita. 



1852. DiACROTRicHA, Zeller. — Created for fasciola, which is there- 

 fore the type. 



1852. Deuterocopus, Zeller. — Created by Zeller for tcnustrociui, 

 Zell., which is therefore the type. 



1W62. Cx.emidopuorus, Wallengren. — Created by Wallengren for 

 rhndodactyla, which is therefore the type. 



1862. Oin.EMATOPHORus, Wallongrcn. — Created by Wallengren for 

 litliodactyla, which is therefore the type. 



1862. MiM.ESEOPTiLUs, Wallengren. — Created by Wallengren for 

 the " jiterodactyla {fuacm) " and " bipunctidactyla " group of Hiibner's 

 Stmoptilia. The latter was limited by Meyrick in 1890 to the same 

 group, thus making Miwaesenptilus a synonym of Stenoptilia.
