" I have not access to Poda ; but I think Lord VValsingham's 

 views * respectini^ the type of Tortrix are sound."

111. Fernald (C. H.). 



" I have long regarded viridana as the type of Tortrix for the 

 reason that it is the first species under the genus in the loth edition 

 that agrees with the characters so far as they are given." 



112. Smith (J. B.). 



" I am quite agreed with Lord Walsingham on this point."

" Tortrix, L. — I hope the type by universal consent will be fixed 

 as viridajia." 



114. Grote (A. R.). 25 May 1897. 



"I agree with Lord Walsingham* that the type of Tortrix is 

 viridana, which I doubtfully designated as the type in the Systema 

 Lep. Hildesiae 1895."

 [Vide Hampson 107.] 



" Hampson (Reply 11), accepting the loth edition, which did 

 not contain cereana, and also accepting Meyrick's restriction (Reply 

 84) that the meaning of Tortrix must be respected, would now 

 probably agree that viridana is the type, but he does not say so."] 



116. Hampson (Sir G. F.). 9 June 1897. 



[Vide Hampson 107. Durrani.^ 



" Tortrix: as the first species does not agree with the meaning 

 of the generic name 1 should consider the second viridajia as the 

 type, as it seems to fulfil all requirements."
