A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

HEPPNER2 Department of Entomology and Nematology, IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 Current studies of the North American Glyphipterigidae have revealed major fundamental morphological and behavioral characters which dem­ onstrate that the inclusion of thc choreutid and glyphipterigid groups within a single family is untenable. The discordant characters involved have been shown in the past by other workers to be so fundamentally and evolutionarily conservative in Lepidoptera phylogeny that it is not even possible to consider the two groups to have evolved within the same superfamily, Glyphipterigid moths have long been considered of unusual interest because of apparent affinities to the Yponomeutidae and the Sesiidae, as well as to the Tortricidae. Most early workers considered them as dis­ tinct groups: the choreutids were placed with the tortricids and the glyphipterigids sensu stricto were placed among the tineoid moths. This segregation was rarely altered until Meyrick (1914) combined them into one family. Meyrick's classification was based largely on general facies-the two groups share a number of superficial characters-and not fundamental relationships. He also relied strongly on wing venation and did not use genitalia, internal morphology or larval characters. He formed a conglomeration of what now are no less than nine distinct families in several superfamilies, although he realized the true affinities of many of the included genera in later years. Current revisionary studies on the choreutids and glyphipterigids, using modern systematic tech­ niques, are revealing the true affinities of these moths.

    ENTOMOLOGISCHE BERICHTEN, DEEL 39, 1.VIII. 1979 127 Brachodidae, A New Family Name for Atychiidae (Lepidoptera: Sesioidea) by JOHN B. HEPPNER Smithsonian Institution ABSTRACT. — Since the generic name Atychia Latreille, 1809, type-genus of the Atychiidae, is found to be a junior homonym, the new family name Brachodidae, type-genus Brachodes Guenée, is proposed as a replacement name. Nomenclatural problems involving Atychia have been elucidated during the course of revisionary work on genera until recently grouped in the family Glyphipterigidae (sensu Meyrick, 1914). The type-genus of Atychiidae, Atychia Latreille, 1809, is a junior homonym of Atychia Ochsenheimer, 1808, now a junior synonym of Adscita Retzius, 1783, in Zygaenidae. Article 39 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature requires the replacement of a family name based on a junior homonym. Brachodidae, new name Type-genus: Brachodes Guenée, 1845. The new family name «Brachodidae replaces the long used name Atychiidae, Duponchel, 1835. Until the present, Atychiidae has included mainly the genus Atychia, now Brachodes, ex¬ cept for the rare inclusion of Phycodes and Miscera\ genera lumped by Meyrick into his concept of Glyphipterigidae. In an earlier paper I reviewed the status of Glyphipterigidae (Heppner, 1977) and noted that Glyphipterigidae sensu stricto is best placed as a family in Copromorphoi- dea. Choreutidae, which was formerly considered a subfamily of Glyphipterigidae, was transfer¬ red to Sesioidea. Another group formerly in Glyphipterigidae was transferred to a new family, Immidae, now in Yponomeutoidea, as far as my studies have shown, but perhaps in a separate superfamily. The homonymy of Atychia Latreille was already noted by Walsingham (1904) but with the ex¬ ception of two authors (Joannis, 1919; Le Marchand, 1937), the use of Brachodes has not been followed by others, who have continued to describe new species in Atychia.
