Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Leucania Ochsenheimer, 1816, -Lepid., Noctuidae. There is no objective replacement name, but P. pallens is congeneric with N. vitellina Hübner, the type-species of Aletia Hübner, [1821], which should therefore be used as the subjective replacement name. See: ALETIA Hübner, [1821]. Poole (1989) included HYPHILARE Hübner, 1821; HELIOPHILA Hübner, 1822; LEUCANIA Boisduval, 1829; SABLIA Sukhareva 1873 (as SABILIA Sukhareva, 1873); and APOMA Berio, 1980 as junior synonyms of ALETIA Hübner, 1821.
