Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Part 10 of Moore's Lep. ind., containing the name Kirrodesa, was received in the British Museum on 2nd May 1892, whereas Part II, containing the new name Placilla (: 253) (type-species : Lethe christophi Leech, 1891), was not received until 25th August of that year. This information established the priority of the name Kirrodesa over the name Placilla, a point which is of practical importance because according to current taxonomic ideas the species, which are the respective type-species of these nominal genera, are congeneric with one another. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
