Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The late J. Kyrki of Finland had informed us of the misidentification of C. annulatella by Wallengren when Caunaca was established. This information has been incorporated under Rhigognostis Staudinger, 1857, into the "Check-list of Finnish Lepidoptera" by Varis, Jalava & Kyrki, 1987, Notul. ent. 67: 56. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Caunaca Wallengren the nominal species actually involved, namely Plutella schmaltzella Zetterstedt, 1839.
