  Identity 
  of 
  Hypenid^e.

  As 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  Tortricodes 
  bifidalis 
  precedes 
  that 
  

   of 
  H. 
  indivisalis, 
  the 
  latter 
  must 
  give 
  way 
  as 
  a 
  synonym. 
  

  

  In 
  some 
  of 
  its 
  features 
  this 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  conform 
  to 
  the 
  

   definition 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  referred. 
  It 
  will 
  

   probably 
  need 
  a 
  new 
  genus 
  for 
  its 
  reception. 
  

  

  That 
  a 
  single 
  species 
  has 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  been 
  given 
  place 
  

   in 
  two 
  genera, 
  should 
  not 
  in 
  the 
  least 
  degree 
  reflect 
  upon 
  Mr. 
  

   Grote. 
  The 
  author 
  of 
  the 
  erroneous 
  information 
  conveyed 
  to 
  

   him, 
  as 
  above 
  quoted, 
  is 
  alone 
  responsible 
  for 
  the 
  mistake. 
  

   That 
  two 
  forms, 
  so 
  very 
  unlike 
  in 
  construction 
  of 
  wing, 
  should 
  

   have 
  been 
  believed, 
  at 
  the 
  first, 
  to 
  be 
  identical, 
  gives 
  assurance 
  

   that 
  the 
  difficult 
  task 
  of 
  identification 
  of 
  species 
  often 
  imper- 
  

   fectly 
  described, 
  description 
  of 
  new 
  forms, 
  and 
  systemiza- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  North 
  American 
  Heterocera, 
  has 
  been 
  undertaken 
  

   by 
  one 
  peculiarly 
  fitted 
  for 
  the 
  work.
