Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- C. mimicaria has been placed in the Geometridae and in the Thyatiridae. Poole (1989) included PROTOMECERAS in the subfamily AMPHIPYRINAE, subsequently restricted to the genus AMPHIPYRA by Kitching & Rawlins, in Kristensen (1999). Other genera formerly treated in the subfamily AMPHIPYRINAE are treated as HADENINAE by Kitching & Rawlins (loc. cit.). Poole (1989) included only 1 species in the genus PROTOMECERAS.
