| Memo: | Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- A junior objective synonym of Protoparce Burmeister, 1855. Invalid type-species designation: Sphinx rustica Fabricius, 1775, designated by Grote & Robinson, 1866, Ann. Lyceum nat. hist. 8: 353; the designation was worded `...Macrosila, a genus of which M. rustica may be considered typical ...' and does not fulfil the provisions of Article 67(c) of the Code. The authorship of Macrosila Walker, 1856, was incorrectly attributed by Herrich-Schäffer, [1858] 1850-1858, Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1 (1): 59 to Boisduval; Macrosila was a Boisduval manuscript name made available by Walker. Boisduval, 1870, Considérations Lépid. Guatemala: 72 and [1875] 1874, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid. Hétérocères) 1: 60, attributed the authorship to himself. Kitching & Cadiou (2000) list CHLAENOGRAMMA Smith, 1887; DILUDIA Grote & Robinson, 1865; MACROSILA Walker, 1856; PHLEGETHONTIUS Hübner, 1819; PROTOPARCE Burmeister, 1855 and SYZYGIA Grote & Robinson, 1865 as junior synonyms of MANDUCA Hübner, 1807. |
