Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The holotype of Plesiocera filipalpis Mabille is a female now in the British Museum collection ; Evans has noted (1953, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 3 : 160) that at some stage this specimen lost its head and that later the head of a Satyrid was gummed on to this specimen in its place. The taxon represented by Plesiocera filipalpis is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Leucochitonea pulverulenta Felder (R.), 1869 (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien 19 : 478). The name Plesiocera Mabille is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Plesiocera Macquart, 1841 (Mém. Soc. R. Sci. Lille 1840 : 360). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
