Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- An Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Cynandra Schatz, [1887]. Kirby said that "Schatz has recently founded the genus Ctenandra for C. opis (Drury)." Schatz never established a genus with this name. In 1887 he had however established a genus with the name Cynandra and there is no doubt that this was the name that Kirby was referring to when he inadvertently used the misspelling Ctenandra. It may be noted that, even if Kirby had deliberately introduced a genus with the name Ctenandra, that name would have been invalid under the Law of Homonymy, for already in 1861 (S.B. Acad. Wiss. Wien 43 (No. 1) : 38) Cajetan Felder had introduced Ctenandra as a new genus of moths. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
