Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Pitys was established to denote a subgenus of Tinea Linnaeus, 1758. Unavailable type-species designation: Tinea tricingulatella Clemens, 1863, a nominal species not originally included in Pitys, and not linked in synonymy with one of the originally included nominal species when cited by Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 178. A junior homonym of Pitys Agassiz, 1847, Nomencl. zool. (Index univl.): 293, - Aves. There is no objective replacement name but Dietz, 1905, Trans. Am. ent. Soc. 31: 78, placed Pitys Chambers as a junior subjective synonym of Homosetia Clemens, 1863; the latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name.
