Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- B. longinasus was originally placed in the Lymantriidae but was transferred to the Hypeninae by Collenette, 1935, Stylops 4: 242. On venation and antennal characters it does, however, fit better into the Lymantriidae. Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- Bifurca and B. longinasus are dated from the wrapper of the part and not from the title-page of the volume, 1929. Bifurca was established in the Lymantriidae; was transferred to the Noctuidae, Hypeninae by Collenette, 1935, Stylops 4: 242; and was transferred back to the Lymantriidae by Nye, 1975, Generic Names Moths World 1:80.
