Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Bradley, 1966, Entomologist's Gaz. 17: 219, has shown that Phalaena xylostella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 538, is a senior subjective synonym of the cruciferous-feeding Plutella maculipennis Curtis, 1832, the type-species of Plutella Schrank, 1802. In 1971, Bull. zool. Nom. 28: 11-13, he stated that the first available name for the Lonicera-feeding species. Phalaena xylostella Linnaeus sensu auct. is Aluctia dentella Fabricius, 17 Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Nannodia Heinemann the nominal species actually involved, namely Alucita dentella Fabricius, 1775. Periclymenobius was included in the Plutellidae by Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 168, as a junior subjective synonym of Ypsolophus Fabricius, 1798, now in the Ypsolophidae.
