Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- Mnesampela was used by Guest without any indication that it was a new generic name. The name was probably obtained from Meyrick as an identification and was unintentionally made nomenclaturally available before Meyrick's generic description was published. Parsons et al. (1999) included MNESAMPELA Meyrick, 1892 as a junior synonym of MNESAMPELA Guest, 1887. Parsons et al. (1999) included 7 species in the genus MNESAMPELA.
Type Comments: Type-locality stated doubtfully to be AUSTRALIA, where the species is now known to be widely distributed
