WASH. 102(4), 2000, pp. 1014-1069 CATALOGUE OF THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF TORTRICIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) IN THE COLLECTION OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D.C.

(e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. — Type specimens of the family Tortricidae deposited in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, are listed alphabetically by species (or subspecies), along with an abbreviated literature citation to the original de-scription and collection data for the specimen. The type collection includes 1,001 name-bearing types of Tortricidae: 851 holotypes, 50 lectotypes (6 of which are designated herein), 60 species represented by one or more syntypes, 38 species represented by the only known extant specimen from the original series, 1 neotype, and 1 "pseudo-type." The collection includes the vast majority of the tortricid species described by C. Femald, A. Busck, C. Heinrich, J. Clarke, A. Blanchard, and A. Kawabe. It also includes the types of numerous species described by Lord Walsingham, W. Kearfott, H. Dyar, N. Obraztsov, J. Razowski, J. Powell, W. Miller, R. Brown, and J. Brown. Key Words: leafrollers, lectotype, holotype, syntype, original description, host plants The type collection of Tortricidae in the National Museum of Natural History (USNM), Smithsonian Institution, repre-sents a significant worldwide resource for researchers interested in tortricid moths (i.e., the leafrollers). The strengths of the collection lie in the faunas of North and South America, the Orient (Japan, Taiwan, Philippine Islands), and Oceania. The C. H. Fernald Collection, purchased in 1924 (Clarke 1974), formed the foundation, con-taining types (primarily "cotypes") of nu-merous species described by Femald, Lord Walsingham, and W. D. Kearfott, and a few described by A. Grote, B. Clemens, and A. Packard. Walsingham sent Femald "coty-pes" of most of the species he described from California and Oregon (Walsingham 1 879) from material in The Natural History Museum (formerly British Museum of Nat-ural History). Kearfott also gave Femald examples from his type series; the majority of Kearfott's material eventually was de-posited in the American Museum of Natural History, New York. Klots (1942) resolved most of the nomenclatorial difficulties as-sociated with the Kearfott "cotypes," des-ignating numerous lectotypes, primarily in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History. Miller (1970) resolved most of nomenclatorial problems associated with the Femald "cotypes," designating lectotypes for the vast majority of his spe-cies of North American Olethreutinae. Few lectotypes have been designated for the Walsingham (1879) species from Califomia and Oregon. From 1905-1930 August Busck and Carl Heinrich, both U.S. Department of Agri-culture employees at the museum, added
