9. The Gelechioidea

“…Fracker (1915) proposed Gelechioidea, but he did not indicate characters to define them. In his key to families the included taxa arise in different places; Elachistidae and Coleophoridae were associated with the tineoid series but without superfamily assignment.…”

14. The Pyraloidea

“…Scientific study of the immature stages began with Dyar (1900Dyar ( , 1901Dyar ( , 1903, Forbes (1910Forbes ( , 1923, Fracker (1915) and Mosher (1916), but with little impact on overall classification. The important papers of Gerasimov (1939Gerasimov ( , 1947Gerasimov ( , 1949 had little direct influence in western countries because of limited availability and the language barrier.…”

Chilo aleniellus(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a stem borer of maize in Côte d'Ivoire

“…Several authors have proposed systems for naming the primary setae (Dyar, 1901;Quail, 1904;Forbes, 1923;Fracker, 1929;Gerasimov, 1935;Janse, 1939;Hinton, 1946;Mutuura, 1956). We chose (as did Bourgogne (1951) and most authors (Stehr, 1987)) Hinton's classification, which defines body setae as dorsal, subdorsal, lateral, sub-ventral and ventral, and includes the microscopic setae ( fig.…”
