Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior homonym of Amalthea Rafinesque, 1815, Analyse: 123 - Hymenoptera. There is no objective replacement name, but G. bajaria is congeneric with Geometra leucophaearia [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, the type-species of Agriopis Hübner, [1825]; the latter is thus available as a subjective replacement name. See: AGRIOPIS Hübner, [1825] 1816. Parsons et al. (1999) included AMALTHEA Hübner, 1825; ANISOPTERYX Stephens, 1827; and CRYOPEGA Dumont, 1925 as junior synonyms of AGRIOPIS Hübner, 1825.
