Memo: Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- A junior homonym of Dicranura R.L., 1817, Jena. allg. Lit.-Ztg 1 (36): 282, Lepid., Notodontidae. The objective replacement name is Cerura Schrank, 1802. Boisduval mistakenly attributed the authorship of Dicranura to Latreille, probably because Latreille, 1825, in Cuvier, Familles nat. Régne Anim.: 473, used the vernacular term Dicranoure.
