Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Bradley, 1966, Entomologist's Gaz. 17: 226, showed that Phalaena heracliana Linnaeus sensu Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 665, (published by Fabricius as * Heracleana, an incorrect subsequent spelling) was a misidentification and that the first available name for the misidentified species is Haemilis pastinacella Duponchel, 1838. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is to be refered to the Commisssion to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will 'bets serve stability and universality of nomenclature'. We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Volucrum Berthold the nominal species actually involved, namely Haemilis pastinacella Duponchel, 1838. A junior objective synonym of Depressaria Haworth, 1811.
