In the August number of the Canadian Entomologist, Vol. 26, p. 215, under the subject “An Omitted Phycitid,” Mr. Grote speaks disparagingly of my having established a subfamily upon differences in genitalic structure, and says: “Messrs. Scudder and Burgess first gave us genitalic species; Lederer used the genitalia for subgeneric and generic divisions, and latterly is followed by Smith. Now comes Mr. Hulst, whose mission seems to be to carry out the methods of other entomologists to extremes, and give us genitalic subfamilies.”
