Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- When Meyrick designated as type-species Pyralis quercana Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent.: 652, a nominal species not originally included in Carcina, he also placed fagana, a nominal species originally included in Carcina, as a junior subjective synonym of quercana. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species. Carcina Hübner, [1825] 1816 was treated in the Oecophoridae, Oecophorinae by Nye & Fletcher, 1991, Generic Names Moths World, 6 : 54. Carcina has subsequently been designated as the type-genus for the newfamily - Carcinidae (Gelechioidea) by Leraut, 1992, Entomologica Gallica 3 (3) : 135.
