| Memo: | Nye (1975) stated:- Great confusion has existed between the interpretaions of Bena Billberg, 1820, and the distinct genus Pseudoips Hübner, 1822, the type-species of which was misidentified as Phalaena prasinana Linnaeus (see Pseudoips Hübner, 1822). The main synonymy is as follows: Bena Billberg, 1820 prasinana Linnaeus, 1758 (The Scarce Silver Lines), bicolorana Fuessly, 1775, quercana [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775 - Pseudoips Hübner, 1822 fagana Fabricius, 1781 (The Green Silver Lines) sylvana Fabricius, 1794, prasinana Linnaeus sensu Hübner. Bena originally included both prasinana and fagana so Billberg was aware of both species; thus the designation by Tams is of the valid prasinana Linnaeus. See Frontispiece, fig. 1, Phalaena prasinana Linnaeus, lectotype female; fig. 2, Bena prasinana (Linnaeus), male; fig. 3, Pyralis fagana Fabricius, lectotype female; fig. 4, Pseudoips fagana (Fabricius), female. See also: Hylophilina Warren, 1913. Poole (1989) included HYLOPHILINA Warren, 1913 as a junior synonym of BENA Billberg, 1820. Poole (1989) included 2 species in the genus BENA. |
