HETEROCERA.

As far as I can judge, the only way we can save the family name Pyralidae 

 is by treating the Schmett. Wien. of Schirfermiiller and Denis, 1775, as earlier 

 than the Sy sterna Entomologiae of Fabricius, 1775. In the latter work Fabricius 

 used the Linnean terms Bombyx, Noctua, Pyralis, Tinea and Alucita as generic 

 names, but omitted Tortrix. The moths we know as Tortricidae he placed 

 in the genus Pyralis, and used the name Phalaena for the moths now known as 

 Pyralidae and Geometridae. Unless we treat Fabricius as the later work 

 we shall be compelled to change the name Tortricidae to Pyralidae, and 

 endless confusion will result. 



In the following list no attempt has been made to assign to their correct 

 positions among related subfamilies the Hyblaeinae, Agaristinae and Cocy- 

 tltnae in the Agrotidae, or the Thyridinae in the Pyralidae.
