Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was included by Stephens as * Laeflingiana, and designated by Westwood as * Loeflingeana, each being an incorrect subsequent spelling. Unavailable designation of type-species: P. loeflingiana Linnaeus was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as three different type-species for each generic name. In his "Exposé de notre Méthode", pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type "... and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species". Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. Dictyopteryx was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 189, again by Stephens, 1834, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 168.
