Memo: Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- A nomem nudum first published in the synonymy of Pyralopsis Boisduval, 1870, ibidem: 94 (but attributed to Felder, an incorrect authorship) and unavailable under the Code, Article 11(d); it was without a description and has not subsequently been treated as an available name dating from Bouisduval, 1870. The originally included nominal species * Guatemalteca was not described by Boisduval, and was attributed to Felder, Reise öst. Fregatte Novara (Zool.) 2 (Abt.2): pl.105, fig.30; but this plate was not published until November 1874. It is probable that Boisduval had obtained a proof copy of Felder & Rogenhofer's plate and legend prior to its publication in Vienna (see Fletcher, 1977, in Nye, Generic Names Moths World 3).
