Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The later usage of Lepidocera by Curtis, 1831, has been accepted, incorrectly, as the original authorship and date by some authors. Lepidocera was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 225, and by Stephens, 1834. Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 349. Lepidocera was included in the Tineidae by Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 124; it was included in the Ypsolophidae on the advice of the late J. Kyrki of Finland. See also: Phygas Treitschke, 1833.
