Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Bertkau, 1879, Ber. wiss. Leist. Geb. Ent. 1877/1878: 506, attributed to Zeller and listed in the Tortricina two new genera and four new species of Lepidoptera that Butler had described in the Bombycidae in 1878, Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. 1878: 78, 79. Butler's new genera and new species were listed with new genera and new species that Zeller had described in 1877, Horae Soc. ent. ross. 13.
