Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Alaria Schrank, 1788, Verz. bisher hinlünglich bekantten Eingeweidewürmer: Gattungen & 52, -Vermes. There is no objective replacement name but P. gaurae is congeneric with Rhodophora florida Guenée, 1852, the type-species of Rhodophora Guenée, 1852. The latter is therefore available for use as the subjective replacement name. Alaria, although unacknowledged by Duncan, was attributed to Westwood by some authors. Justification can be found in Stainton, 1885, Entomologist's mon. Mag. 21: 181-186, who quoted from a letter by Westwood. See: RHODOPHORA Guenée, 1852.
