Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- Incorrect type-species designation: Bombyx tibialis Fabricius, 1775, a name not, originally included in Leocyma, and not linked with one of the, originally included names when cited by Hampson, 1894, Fauna Br. India (Moths) 2: 288. The same comments apply when B. tibialis was again cited by Hampson, 1902, Ann. S. Afr. Mus. 2: 298 See also: Thiganusa Walker, 1865. Poole (1989) included THIGANUSA Walker, 1865 as a junior synonym of LEOCYMA Guenée, 1852. Poole (1989) included 7 species in the genus LEOCYMA.
