Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- [TYPE] stated to be New York, but this was probably an error as this species is not known to occur in the New World, but is found in southern Africa. A junior homonym of Tima Eschscholtz, 1829, Syst. Acalephen: 103 , - Coelenterata. There is no objective replacement name but P. margaritata Drury is congeneric with Phlaena catena Sowerby, the type-species of Desmophora Stephens, 1929. The latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name. See: DESMOPHORA Stephens, 1829 [June]. Poole (1989) included TARACHE Hübner, 1823; DESMOPHORA Stephens, 1829; EUPHASIA Stephens, 1830; HELIOTHERA Sodoffsky, 1837; PORROTHA Gistl, 1848; TIMA Walker, 1858; and TRICHOTARACHE Grote, 1875 as junior synonyms of ACONTIA Ochsenheimer, 1816.
