Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- T. strobilana is an unjustified emendation of Phalaena (Tinea) strobilella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 539. Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix turionana Hübner, [1813], a nominal species not originally included in Coccyx, and not linked in synonymy with one of the originally included nominal species when designated by Duponchel, 1834, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lépid. Papillons Fr. 9: 21. On page 233 (not published until 1835) Duponchel placed turionana as the valid name for resinella sensu Curtis, a misidentification. The nominal species Tortrix resinana Hübner, [1799], originally included in Coccyx is, however, treated as a different species on page 237. (2) Tortrix turionana Hübner, [1813], a nominal species not originally included in Coccyx, and not linked in synonmy with one of the originally included nominal species when designated by Blanchard, 1840, in Castelnau, Hist. nat. Anim. articulés (Insectes) 3: 545. (3) Pyralis resinana Fabricius, 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 137. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designation up to three different type-species for each generic name. In his "Exposé de notre Méthode", pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type"... and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species". Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval's type-species designation in this case would result on Coccyx replacing Petrova Heinreich, 1923, as the genus name for Phalaena resinella Linnaeus, 1758; and Cydia (Pseudotomoides Obraztsov, 1959) replacing Coccyx as the subgenric name for Phlana strobilella Linnaeus, 1758. Invalid designation of type-species: Tortrix piceana Hübner, [1799], was designated by Fernald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 19; either piceana or one of its senior subjective synonyms Phalaena tedella Vlerck, 1759, or Tortrix comitana Denis & Schiifermüller, 1775 has been accpeted as the type-species by some authors.
