| Memo: | Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Caloptera Gistl, 1834, Insect.-Doubletton Samml. R. J. Walworth: 10, - Coleoptera. A nomenclaturally available generic name although cited as a nomen nudum by Neave. There is no objective replacement name but C. formosa is a junior subjective synonym of Phalaena vaillantina Stoll, 1790, the type-species of Egybolis Boisduval, 1847. The latter is therefore for use as a subjective replacement name. See: EGYBOLIS Boisduval, 1847. Poole (1989) included CALOPTERA Blanchard, 1845 as a junior synonym of EGYBOLIS Boisduval, 1847. |
