Dear John,
As far as I can tell, the first usage of the incorrect subsequent spelling
"Goryna" was in Lucas 1901, which referenced the 1899 Quail article but
misspelled "Gorina" as "Goryna". Here are BHL links for the relevant pages:

volumes does occasionally have corrections to the original printed volumes,
but in this case it just repeats the error from Nye & Fletcher 1991.
As an aside, I've noticed that a lot of folks aren't aware that The Generic
Names of the Moths of the World is available in full on BHL. They volumes
aren't all listed together as a series, which does make finding them more
difficult, so for easy reference here are links to all the volumes:
