are certain differences in the palpi and neuration, I agree that it 
will be better to unite them, Pyramidobela being the earlier name.

of the bindwings varies rather curiously within the limits of the 
same species, vein 5 being sometimes curved and approximated to 4, 
sometimes straight and then nearer 6.
