Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- L. margarita is a junior subjective synonym of Nearcha alba Swinhoe, 1902 February, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7) 9: 79. See also: Acibdela Turner, 1906. This genus was originally proposed in the Oenochrominae, but was transferred to the Geometrinae by Turner, 1910, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 35: 572. Parsons et al. (1999) included ACIBDELA Turner, 1906 as a junior synonym of LEUCESTHES Warren, 1902. Parsons et al. (1999) included only 1 species in the genus LEUCESTHES.
