Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior homonym of Pelagia Péron & Lesueur, 1810, Annls Mus. Hist. nat. Paris 14: 349 - Coelenterata. There is no objective replacement name, but A. ossiculata is currently treated as congeneric with Phalaena aversata Linnaeus, 1758, the type-species of Idaea Treitschke, 1825. The latter is thus available as a subjective replacement name. See: IDAEA Treitschke, 1825 [October 18]. Parsons et al.
