new species of North American Tortricidze. 517 



Tortr., 36 (1858); Eucelis, Wilk., Br.- Tortr., 

 199-200 (1859); Stn. Man., II., 242 (1859). 



= Trycheris, Gn., Ind. Meth., 56 (1845). 



= Grapkolitha, Tr. (Grapholita, Tr., 1829, emend. 

 1830), Hein., Fern. 



This genus, created by Hiibner to include one species 

 only, aurana, F., may fairly be taken to cover a much 

 larger field. E. aurana is placed by recent authors in 

 the genus Grapholitha, Tr., as restricted by Heinemann 

 (Schtn. Deutsch. Tortr., 177), but this very familiar name 

 was preoccupied by Hiibner [Verz. bek. Schm., 242-3 

 (ante 1826), type rizolitha, Schiff., Hb., teste Stph.] 

 for a section of the Noctuidx, and requires a substitute. 

 Treitschke ignored, or possibly never saw Hiibner's 

 work. The type of his genus Grapholitha (G-rapholita, 

 Tr., 1829, emend. 1830), following Curtis 1 restriction of 

 1831, became fixed as dorsana, F., by Lederer, in 1859, 

 when he eliminated from Treitschke's section B the 

 species included in the new genus Phthoroblastis, Ld., and 

 referred petiverella and its congeners to Dichrorampha. 



Duponchel [Hist. Nat. Lp. Fr., IX., 22, 263-5 (1834)] 

 cited nisella, Cl. (= petrana, Dp.) as the type of 

 Grapholitha, but this species was not originally included 

 by Treitschke and could not therefore have been his 

 type ; he overlooked also Curtis' restriction of the genus 

 to Treitschke's section B, adopting the name for section 

 A, in which he was followed by Stephens, Wilkinson, and 

 Stainton. 



Grapholitha has been used in Staudinger and Wocke's 

 Catalogue in a still wider sense to include subgenera 

 which possess the costal fold. In any case another name 

 must be adopted for this genus on account of its pre- 

 occupation, and also because all or nearly all the species 

 included in it had previously received other generic names. 



Without attempting clearly to define the range of the 

 genus Grapholitha, Tr. (Hein.), which may yet be 

 capable of subdivision under other of the older names, I 

 have here substituted for it the Hiibnerian name Eucelis. 



The family name Grapholithinae, Fern., must certainly 

 share a similar fate, but taking arcuellaj L., as perhaps 

 more clearly typical of the majority of genera included 

 in the Trichophoridse (as representing the group of 

 Tortricidse which possesses hair on the upper edge of
