| Memo: | Nye (1975) stated:- Cymatophora was originally placed in the Noctuidae. Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior homonym of Cymatophora Hübner, [1812] 1806, Samml. exot. Schmett. 1: pl.[205] - Lepid. Geometridae and a junior objective synonym of Achyla Billberg, 1820. The generic name was listed by Duponchel as * Cymathophora, an incorrect subsequent spelling. It is arguable that Cymatophora was proposed by Treitschke as an objective replacement name for Tetha Ochsenheimer, 1816, which Treitschke believed to be preoccupied by Tethya Lamarck, 1814 (Spongida) and which he cited as Tethya Donati, an incorrect authorship. If this argument is sustained, the type-species of Tethea would then be Phalaena flavicornis Linnaeus, 1758, designated by Duponchel for Cymatophora Treitschke, the objective replacement name, not Noctua or [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, designated by Curtis four months later for Tethea. Tethea would thus become a senior objective synonym of Achlya Billberg, 1820, and Palimpsestis Hübner, 1821, would become the generic name available for those species currently included in Tethea. In the opinion of the author the interests of stability are better served by regarding Tethea Treitschke, 1825, and Cymatophora Ochsenheimer, 1816, as independent genera.
