Hiibner, in his " text," separated the Cramhidcs, JPhycitidcs, and 

 Galleridce from the true TinecB, terming them " TinecB Fyralidiformes.'''' 



Fabricius was the first who created special genera for these 

 insects ; he established the genus GaUeria, giving cereana, L. (7}iel- 

 lonella, L.), as the type, and the genus Fhycis, assigning as type his 

 spissicella, but adding Tin. holetella, F., a true Tinea. 



Haworth accepted the genus Tliycis of Fabricius, and placed in 

 it all the Phycids save cribreJla, Hb., and carnella, L., which he put in 

 a different division {Curvipalpece). 



Hiibner, in his Catalogue, divided the Phycitidce and Galleridce 

 into fifteen genera. These genera were formed simply on the 

 colouring or markings of the wiugs, so that the species are mixed 

 without regard to their structure. The genera are too briefly charac- 

 terized, yet, as they are the base of Zeller's nomenclature, it is 

 necessary to examine them. 



AcnEOiA (Cat., p. 163). — This name has been modified by Zeller into Achraea. 

 The genus comprises three species, beginning with cinereola, Hb. {griseella, Fab.). 

 It was characterized by Stephens and Zeller, so that we should quote Achrcea (Hb.) , 

 Steph., Zeller. 



EiJCAEPHiA (Cat., p. 364) included two species of Cramhus and vinetella, F., 

 which latter becomes the type of the genus. 



Hypochalcia (Cat., p. 367) comprising alienalis, cenealis, and cerealis, which 

 are all synonymous with ahenella, S.Y. This genus, being composed but of one 

 species, has very properly been retained by Zeller and characterized by him (Isis, 

 1839, p. 178; 1848, p. 721). 



Aneeastia (Cat., p. 367). — This genus comprises three true HtjpocJialcicp, and, 

 lastly, lotella, Hb. ; it would have been proper to retain the name of Anerastia for 

 the species of Hyjiochalcia, had not the latter genus been so distinctly indicated as 

 I have explained. The genus has thus rightly been restricted by Zeller to lotella, 

 and supersedes Araxes, Steph., which was formed of three distinct modern genera. 



GrESNERiA (Cat., p. 368). — This genus contains canella, S.Y., and three Scoparice, 

 one before, and two after, canella, so that, evidently, the genus was intended for 

 Scoparia, but as the latter genus was already established by Haworth., Zeller 

 properly created the genus Qymnancyla for canella, S.V. 



Apiiomia (Cat., p. 369). — This genus was created by Hiibner for soeieWa, L., 

 and is, therefore, good ; it has been described by Zeller (Isis, 1848). 



Pempelia (Cat., p. 369). — The genus Fempelia was composed of four ill- 

 assorted species : Colocalis = anellus, S.Y. ; quercalis = quercella. S.Y. (a Pyralid) ; 

 palumhella, S.Y. ; and ornatella, S.Y. Zeller divided the genus Pempelia into 

 several genera : 1°. Etiella, Z. (type, Zinckenella, Tr.) ; 2°. Eurhodope, Hb., com- 

 prising eiiphoriiella, Z. (which I refer to Nephopteryx, the maxillary palpi not being 

 at all developed into a pencil-like brush, as in other PempelicB), and carnella, L. ; 

 3°. Fempelia, comprising all the Fempelice with smooth wings, including ornatella,
