The type of Anacampsis is Tinea populella, CL, as specified by Curtis, Br. Ent., expl. Pl. 189 (1827). For many years this generic name has been separated from its type and used for the anthyllldella group, for which there is no justification, and Tachy-ptllla, Hein., which has usurped the place of the true Anacampsis, Curtis, must sink as its synonym. 58.
