Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- Aphlyctaena originated from Hampson, who intended to publish it as a replacement name for Phlyctaina Möschler, 1890, which Hampson considered to be a homonym of Phlyctaenia Hübner, [1825], Verz. bekannter Schmett. : 359, - Lepid., Pyralidae. Aphlyctaena is a junior objective synonym of Phlyctaina Möschler, 1890. See: PHLYCTAINA Möschler, 1890. Poole (1989) included APHLYCTAENA Kaye, 1927 as a junior synonym of PHLYCTAINA Möschler, 1890.
