Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- A junior objective synonym of Aidos Hübner, [1820]. When Herrich-Schäffer established Xenarchus in 1855 he included two nominal species, amanda Stoll and a new species Xenarchus osorius Herrich-Schäffer; the latter was then, however, a nomen nudum, and was not made nomenclaturally available until 1856. Xenarchus was included by Herrich-Schäffer in his 'Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum` which was published first in Syst. Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 6: 82-132. The title-page of volume 6 is dated 1843-1856, but Herrich-Schäffer, 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 23: 214, has stated that Heft 68 (which included the Synopsis) was published in 1855; the Heft wrapper is so dated. The same Synopsis was included in Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1: 2-52. The title page of this work is dated 1850-1858, but Gerstaeker, 1857, Archiv. Nutrugesch 23 (2): 431, has stated that pages 1-52 were published in 1856. Further information is given in the Introduction to Generic Names Moths World 3 under dates of some important Publications.
