Memo: but cited as Bombyx digramma Guérin-Méneville, [1844], a nominal species not originally included in Artaxa. Moore on the next page placed digramma as the senior synonym of guttata, a nominal species originally included in Artaxa. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iv), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species. A. guttata is now regarded as a valid species.
