Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was included by Herrich-Schäffer, and designated by Kirby, as * Lignivorus, an incorrect subsequent spelling. Aenetus was included by Herrich-Schäffer in his "Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum" which was published first in Syst. Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 6: 82-132. The title-page of volume 6 is dated 1843-1856 but Herrich-Schäffer, 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 23: 214, has stated that Heft 68 (which included the Synopsis) was published in 1855; the Heft wrapper is so dated. The same Synopsis was included in Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1: 2-52. The title page of this work is dated 1850-1858 but Gerstaecker, 1857, Archiv Naturgesch. 23 (2): 431, has stated that pages 1-52 were published in 1856. Further information is given by Fletcher, 1979 3: xii-xiv. See also: * Oenetus Kirby, 1892 AENETUS was included within the family HEPIALIDAE by Kristensen (1999).
