Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was cited by Capuse as * Maeniacella, an incorrect subsequent spelling. Sattler & Tremewan, 1978, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.) 37: 87, have stated that this is a case of a misidentified type-species. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), such as a case is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We agree with Sattler & Tremewan in suggesting that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Bacescula Capuse the nominal species actually involved, namely Coleophora suaedivora Meyrick, [1928].
