| Memo: | Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- Mieza has been used as the original generic name for species now placed in the Arctiidae. Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- When Walsingham designated as type-species Eustixis laeta Geyer, 1832, in Hübner, Zuträge Samml. exot. Schmett. 4: 5, a nominal species not originally included in Mieza, he also placed iginix Walker, a nominal species originally included in Mieza, as a synonym of laeta. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type".. and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species". Walsingham also placed Eustixis pupula Hübner, [1831] 1825, Zuträge Samml. exot. Schmett. 3: 24, figs 489, 490, as a synonym of laeta but as pupula Hübner was doubtfully included in Mieza by Walker it cannot be fixed as the type-species. The late J. Kyrki of Finland had informed us that he intended to transfer Mieza to the Zygaenidae, Phaudinae. |
