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

 views* respecting the type of Tinea are sound." 

 [* Reply 118. Durrant.'\ 



121. Fernald (C. H.). 



" I agree with Lord Walsingham* that pellionella should be re- 

 garded as the type of Tinea"

122. Smith (J. B.). 



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

 ty^Q pellionella, L., vide Reply 118. Diu'rant.'] 



123. AURIVILLIUS (C). 

 [Vide Aurivillius 81. Durrani. '\ 



" Tinea. As type I will gladly take pellionella." 



124. Grote (A. R.). 



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

 pellionella, which I doubtfully designated as the type in the Systenia 

 Lep. Hildesiae, 1895."

" Hampson (Reply 1 1) having accepted the loth edition, which 

 did not contain gelatella, and also accepting Meyrick's restriction 

 that the meaning of Tinea must be respected (Reply 84), would now 

 probably agree that pellionella is the type, but he does not say so. 

 It should be noted that gelatella did not head the list of Ti7iea in 

 the 1 2th edition, but was the last species under Pyralis, being, how- 

 ever, cited thus : 'gelatella, 344. P. Tinea! " 



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



[Vide Hampson 117. Durrant.^ 



" Tinea : I must plead that my knowledge is quite insufficient 

 to say which is the first species on the list fully agreeing with the 

 description ' alis convolutis in fere cylindrum ; fronte prominula.' It 

 seems to me, however, that the meaning assigned by Mr Meyrick* 

 to the word Tinea is somewhat straining it in order to give a con- 

 venient type."
