  mens 
  used 
  by 
  liim 
  in 
  writing 
  bis 
  descriptions, 
  and 
  wbere 
  

   these 
  are 
  not 
  available, 
  specimens 
  of 
  each 
  species 
  from 
  

   his 
  own 
  collection, 
  named 
  in 
  his 
  handwriting. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  not 
  sm-prising 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Meyrick, 
  without 
  the 
  

   guidance 
  of 
  such 
  valuable 
  material, 
  should 
  have 
  appa- 
  

   rently 
  failed 
  to 
  identify 
  the 
  precise 
  form 
  of 
  neuration 
  

   characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  genus 
  Cryptolechia, 
  "which 
  

   is 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Fore 
  wings 
  12 
  veins 
  ; 
  2 
  frora 
  near 
  lower 
  angle 
  of 
  cell 
  ; 
  7 
  and 
  8 
  

   from 
  a 
  common 
  stem, 
  the 
  fork 
  enclosing 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  rest 
  sepa- 
  

   rate. 
  Hind 
  wings 
  8 
  veins 
  ; 
  3 
  and 
  4 
  from 
  a 
  point 
  at 
  lower 
  angle 
  of 
  

   cell 
  ; 
  5 
  bent 
  over 
  at 
  its 
  origin 
  and 
  somewhat 
  approximate 
  to 
  4 
  ; 
  

   6 
  and 
  7 
  separate, 
  almost 
  parallel 
  ; 
  lb 
  furcate 
  at 
  base 
  ; 
  8 
  joined 
  to 
  

   upper 
  edge 
  of 
  cell 
  by 
  a 
  cross 
  vein.

  As 
  touchiug 
  this 
  question 
  of 
  neuration, 
  I 
  may 
  perhaps 
  

   here 
  remark 
  that 
  one 
  at 
  least 
  of 
  the 
  characters 
  on 
  which 
  

   the 
  Tortricidce 
  have 
  hitherto 
  been 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  

   Tineidce 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  insufficient. 
  It 
  is 
  well 
  known 
  

   that 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  Tortricida, 
  and 
  in 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  Tineidce, 
  

   vein 
  1 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  — 
  that 
  is, 
  the 
  vein 
  nearest 
  to 
  

   the 
  abdominal 
  margin 
  — 
  is 
  divided 
  into 
  3 
  veinlets. 
  De 
  

   Peyerimhoff, 
  in 
  his 
  ' 
  Etude 
  sur 
  I'organisation 
  exterieure 
  

   des 
  Tordeuses 
  ' 
  (Ann. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  France 
  (ser. 
  5), 
  VI, 
  , 
  

   523—590, 
  pl. 
  X.— 
  XII. 
  (1876)), 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  

   middle 
  veinlet 
  of 
  these 
  three 
  was 
  furcate 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  

   and 
  relied 
  upon 
  this 
  character 
  as 
  distinguishing 
  the 
  

   family 
  from 
  the 
  allied 
  Tineidce. 
  My 
  assistant, 
  Mr. 
  

   Durrant, 
  has 
  carefully 
  searched 
  for 
  this 
  character 
  in 
  the 
  

   subfamilies 
  and 
  genera 
  of 
  the 
  Tineidce, 
  and 
  finds 
  it 
  not 
  

   only 
  in 
  species 
  allied 
  to 
  Kuplocamus, 
  to 
  Gdedna, 
  to 
  

   Q^copJiora, 
  to 
  Atyckia, 
  and 
  in 
  ^ieyxick'^XyloryctidcB, 
  but 
  

   in 
  the 
  typical 
  Tinea 
  lapeizella, 
  L., 
  itself; 
  in 
  short, 
  

   almost 
  wherever 
  he 
  has 
  looked 
  for 
  it.
