Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- A junior homonym of Macrotona Brunner, 1893, Annali Mus. civ. Stor. nat. Geneva 33: 142, - Insecta, Orthoptera. There is no objective replacement name but M. sobria was considered by Meyrick, 1925, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 184: 238, 239, to be congeneric with Carcina luticornella Zeller, 1839, the type-species of Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer, 1853; the latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name.
