| Memo: | Fletcher (1979) stated:- The genus Rambara was based on A. lumenaria Geyer, which Moore misidentified as Zanclopteryx saponaria Guenée, as Moore's illustration ([1887], ibidem 3: pl.203, fig.8) clearly shows; the misidentification was corrected by Prout, 1910, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 104: 73. See Frontispiece 1, fig.1, Arrhostia lumenaria Geyer, male. Under Article 70(a) of the Code, the case of a misidentified type-species should be referred to the Commission. Parsons et al. (1999) included CHIONOPTERYX Snellen, 1873; CORIUM Prout, 1910; HOLOSTIXA Swinhoe, 1902; and RAMBARA Moore, 1887 as junior synonyms of DERAMBILA Walker, 1863 [February 14]. | |
