| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- When Meyrick designated as type-species Oecophora resumptella Walker, 1864, List. Specimens lepid. Insects Colln Br. Mus. 29: 681, a nominal species not originally included in Placocosma, he also, on the same page, placed hephaestea, a nominal species originally included in Placocosoma, as a synonym of resumptella. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species. Placocosma was cited by Turner, 1935, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 60: 15, as a new genus. This was merely an error as it was followed on the next line by the reference to Meyrick's original description. |
