Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Meyrick attributed the authorship of the name of the type-species to Doonovan "Ins. New Holl." without a page number. In Donovan, 1805, Epitome nat. Hist. Insects New Holland, New Holland ... Pacific Oceans, there is no hepialid that corresponds with the name or description given by Meyrick. Meyrick's second reference was to Walker "Bomb. 1558".
