Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior homonym of ACANTHOCAMPA Packard, 1902, Jl N.Y. ent. Soc. 10: 100 - Lepid. Saturniidae. There is no objective replacement name, but A. excavata is congeneric with Amphidasis flabellaria Heeger, 1838, the type-species of APOCHIMA Agassiz, 1847. The latter is thus available as a subjective replacement name. See: APOCHIMA Agassiz, 1847.
