Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Mystax and M. trichoma were Walsingham manuscript names made nomenclaturally available by Caradja. A junior homonym of Mystax Stephens, 1829, Nom. Br. Insects: 28, - Insecta, Trichoptera. There is no objective replacement name but Mystax Caradja, 1920, was placed by Meyrick, 1925, Entomologist 58: 184, as a junior subjective synonym of Thiotricha Meyrick, 1886; the latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name. From a multiple original spelling in which both Mystax and * Mistax were used Sattler, 1973, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.) 28: 225, acted as first reviser under the Code (Edn 3), Article 24, and chose Mystax as the name for the taxon.
