Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- Lamprotes, originally included two species, Noctua moneta Fabricius and P. c-aureum (as N. concha). Each is the type-species of a junior generic name i. e. Polychrysia Hübner, [1821], and Chrysoptera Berthold, 1827, respectively. P. c-aureum has been designated as the type-species of Lamprotes so as not to disturb the more widespread use, on both sides of the Atlantic, of Polychrysia. See also: Cubena Walker, 1856. Poole (1989) included CHRYSOPTERA Bertold, 1827 as a junior synonym of LAMPROTES R.L., 1817.
