  In 
  1890, 
  Meyrick 
  included 
  the 
  Alucitides 
  in 
  his 
  " 
  Classification 
  of 
  

   the 
  Pyralidina 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  fauna 
  " 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1890, 
  

   pp. 
  429 
  et 
  seg.). 
  This 
  paper 
  is 
  most 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  ex 
  cathedra 
  

   manner 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  phylogenies 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  subdivisions 
  are 
  

   asserted 
  with 
  no 
  detailed 
  proof 
  in 
  support 
  thereof. 
  With 
  this 
  we 
  

   propose 
  dealing 
  later.

  tabulation
