" The type of Tortrix, Jones, is viridana, being the first species 

 placed under it : Heterognoino7i will be a synonym of Tortrix with 

 the same type, whilst Pandeinis will stand for atra?ia. Brown's 

 citation of viridana does not affect the question in any way."

"In the year 1855 Smith constituted viridana the type of 

 Heterognomon and ati^ana the type of Pandemis, overlooking the 

 fact that Jones, in 1850, had established a heterotypical genus for 

 the reception of the same two species. 



It is obvious that one of Smith's genera must sink as a synonym 

 of Tortrix, Jones ; viridana was the first species which acquired an 

 exclusive title to a generic name, and it was not open to a succeed- 

 ing writer to restrict Jones' heterotypical genus Tortrix to the 

 detriment of Smith's monotypical and natural genus Heterognomon. 

 Moreover when Smith constituted viridana the type of Hetero- 

 gnomon he left Tortrix absolutely monotypical, with atrana as its
