Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Asplenia Hampson, 1916, -Lepid., Noctuidae. This name was used and made available by Hampson in 1916 for a similar concept but having a different type-species. There is no objective replacement name but M. melanodonta is certainly congeneric and probably conspecific with Asplenia rubrescens Hampson, 1916, the type-species of Asplenia Hampson, 1916. The latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name. See: ASPLENIA Hampson, 1916. Poole (1989) included ASPLENIA Hampson, 1926 as a junior synonym of ASPLENIA Hampson, 1916.
