Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1984) stated:- Phalaena saccharalis Fabricius, 1794, Ent. Syst. 3 (2): 238 emended unjustifiably to Borer saccharellus Guenée, 1862, in Maillard, ibidem (2) Annexe G: 70, is a species that does not occur in Réunion or Mauritius but is widely distributed in the New World tropics. Phalaena saccharalis Fabricius sensu Guenée, 1862, is Proceras sacchariphagus Bojer et al., 1856. Under the Code, Article 70(a), the case of a misidentified type-species should be referred to the Commission. We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as type-species of Borer the nominal species actually involved, namely Proceras sacchariphagus Bojer et al., 1856.
