Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) included AGONOPTERIX in the subfamily OECOPHORIDAE: DEPRESSARIINAE, treated by Hodges, in Kristensen (1999) as a subfamily of ELACHISTIDAE. Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- When Meyrick designated as type-species Pyralis ocellana Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent.: 652, a nominal species not originally included in Agonopterix, he also (on page 176) placed signella, a nominal species originally included in Agonopterix, as a junior synonym of ocellana. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species. Unavailable designations of the type-species: Pyralis ocellana Fabricius, 1775, a nominal species not originally included in Agonopterix, and not linked in synonymy with one of the originally included nominal species when cited as type-species by Walsingham, 1908, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1907: 955, and by Walsingham, 1912, Biologia cent.-am. (Zool.) Lepid.-Heterocera 4: 135. See also: Agoniopteryx Treitschke, 1833; * Agonopteryx Stephens, 1834
