(1802), in sub-dividing- the genus, leaves B. mori 

 and versicolor as its types. Hence we are justified 

 in retaining B. mori as the type of Bombyx. 



B. Nodua, N. sponsa, Lam. (1801). Cuvier and 

 Latreille (1805) concur in this; but afterwards 

 Latreille (1810) selected N. pronuba as his type. 



C. Gcometra, Ph. syringaria, Lcvm. (1801) Latr. 

 This was regarded l)y Fabricius (1775) as the 

 typical section, and hence took the name PhaLTna; 

 in this he was followed l)y Cuvier, Lamarck, 

 Latreille, &c. 



D. Tortrix, T. viridana, Lam. (1801). Fabricius 

 (1775) dropped this name, and used instead 

 Pyralis (nee Linn.) In this he was followed 

 by several others, but was at last overruled. 



E. Pyralis, P. forficalis, Guv. (1799). This siib- 

 genus is sunk altogether by Fabricius. Cuvier 

 and Latreille however revive it. 



F. Tinea, T. pellionella, Geoffr. (1762), Lam. 

 (1801). This, as a name known to tlie ancients, 

 has been pretty generally adopted. 



G. Alucita, A. pentadactylus, Geoffr., Guv., Lam. 

 Applied by Linmeus to all the cleft-winged spe- 

 cies. Geoffroy (1762) re-created the genus under 

 the title Ftcro2Jhorus (typ. pentadactylus) ; Fabri- 

 cius adopted this, and gave the name Alucita to a 

 group of Tinea?, since called Adda l)y Latreille. 

 We are l^ound in consistency to reject Fterophorus 

 and adopt Alucita (typ. pentadactylus), employing 

 Latreille's name, Orneocles, for A. hexadactylus. 



1762. E. Geoffroy (Hist. Abr(^g. vol. ii.) adopts five genera, 

 only without types. He introduces a new name, 

 Ptei'opliorus, for Alucita. 



1767. Linna3us (Syst. Nat. Ed. xii.) adds the sub-genus 

 Attacus. (typ. Ph. pavonia. Guv., Lam.) 



1775. Fabricius (Syst. Ent.) adds a new sub-genus under 

 Papilio, viz., Parnassius (typ. Apollo, Guv., Latr.). 

 He also adds three genera to the Nocturni. 



140. Sesia, S. stellatarum, Scop. (1777), Gur. 

 (1799). Lamarck (1801) gives S. fuciformis as his 

 type.
