Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- Phelotis was used by Guest without any indication that it was a new generic name. The name was probably obtained from Meyrick as an identification and was unintentionally made nomenclaturally available before Meyrick's generic description was published. Parsons et al. (1999) included only 1 species in the genus PHELOTIS.
