Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Mimasura Hampson, 1910 [August]. This generic name was used and made available by Hampson, 1910 [August], prior to its proposal and generic description by Hampson, 1910 [December]. The date of publication of the former is printed in the separates of Hampson's Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. paper; the date of publication of the latter is given by Collins, 1962, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (13) 5:126. There is no objective replacement name but X. tripuncta is congeneric with Mimasura quadripuncta Hampson, 1910, the type-species of Mimasusa Hampson, 1910 [August]. The latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name. See: MIMASURA Hampson, 1910 [August]. Poole (1989) included MIMASURA Hampson, 1910 [December] (preoccupied) as a junior synonym of MIMASURA Hampson, 1910 [August].
