  When 
  Zeller 
  first 
  described 
  (Isis, 
  1841, 
  p. 
  866) 
  pallidum, 
  he 
  grouped 
  

   it 
  in 
  his 
  Aciptilus, 
  placing 
  it 
  in 
  a 
  separate 
  sect, 
  g, 
  next 
  to 
  sect. 
  /, 
  which, 
  

   contained 
  pentadactyla, 
  L. 
  In 
  1852, 
  he 
  adopted 
  {Linn. 
  Ent., 
  vi., 
  p. 
  400) 
  

   the 
  Hiibnerian 
  title, 
  Aciptilia, 
  and 
  placed 
  it 
  with 
  siceliota, 
  Z., 
  and 
  

   baptodactyla, 
  Z., 
  in 
  his 
  group 
  d. 
  Herrich-Schafter, 
  who 
  largely 
  

   followed 
  Zeller, 
  in 
  1855 
  placed 
  it 
  in 
  his 
  sect. 
  1 
  of 
  Aciptilus, 
  with 
  

   siceliota 
  ; 
  whilst 
  Doubleday, 
  in 
  1859, 
  placed 
  (Syn, 
  Cat., 
  2nd 
  ed., 
  p. 
  37) 
  

   it 
  in 
  his 
  heterogeneric 
  genus 
  Pterophorus, 
  between 
  microdactyla, 
  Hb., 
  and 
  

   brachydactyla, 
  Tr. 
  Staudinger 
  and 
  Wocke 
  (Cat., 
  2nd 
  ed., 
  p. 
  345) 
  

   retained 
  it 
  in 
  Aciptilia, 
  placing 
  it 
  directly 
  after 
  pentadactyla, 
  L. 
  

   Meyrick, 
  in 
  1890 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1890, 
  p. 
  484), 
  placed 
  it 
  in 
  

   Trichoptilus*, 
  a 
  genus 
  created 
  and 
  described 
  by 
  Walsingham 
  (Pteroph. 
  of 
  

   California 
  and 
  Oregon, 
  pp. 
  62-63) 
  for 
  an 
  American 
  species, 
  pygmaeus, 
  and 
  

   it 
  is 
  especially 
  noted 
  that 
  the 
  third 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  hindwings 
  is 
  adorned 
  

   with 
  a 
  projecting 
  tooth 
  of 
  scales, 
  very 
  slightly 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  

   its 
  hinder 
  margin, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  tuft 
  is 
  situated 
  nearer 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  than 
  

   in 
  any 
  other 
  genus 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  writer. 
  Meyrick 
  had 
  already 
  used 
  

   the 
  generic 
  name 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1885, 
  p. 
  7), 
  extending
