Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A. flavida was proposed by Ochsenheimer as the objective replacement name for Noctua flava Hübner, [1809], Samml. eur. Schmett. 4: pl. 96, fig. 453, a junior primary homonym of Noctua flava Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 601, -Noctuidae, Ophiderinae. A. flavida is a junior subjective synonym of Tortrix kaekeritziana Hübner, [1799], Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pl. 26, fig. 163. Druce, 1889, Biologia cent.-am. (Zool.) Lepid., Heterocera 1: 303, stated 'This generic name, as noted by Walker, is preoccupied in Diptera [by Metoponia], Macquart, 1847'. This error was due to the citation of the reference as 'Metoponia (Duponchel), Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 206 (1852)'; this was not the original reference and Metoponia Duponchel is not preoccupied. See also: Aegle Hübner, [1823]. Poole (1989) included METOPONIA Duponchel, 1845 as a junior synonym of AEGLE Hübner, 1823.
