| Memo: | Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- After the legend and plate illustrating Phalaena pantherina had been prepared, Hübner evidently concluded that this species was a synonym of Phalaena hepialica Borkhausen, 1790. Naturgesch. eur. Schmett. 3: 349, and he published the relevant text under the name * Hepialina, an incorrect subsequent spelling of Phalaena hepialica Borkhausen, 1790, to which reference was made at the end of the text. In Hübner's subsequent references to the species, [1803] 1796, Samml. eur. Schmett. 3: pl.36, figs 157, 158; and [1820] 1816, Verz. bekannter Schmett.: 194, the name pantherina was used. Both P. pantherina Hübner, 1790, and Phalaena hepialica Borkhausen, 1790, are junior subjective synonyms of Phalaena ulula Borkhausen, 1790, ibidem 3: 142. Kirby cited as type-species Phalaena ulula Borkhausen, 1790, a nominal species not originally included in Dyspessa. At the same time, however, Kirby placed ulula as a senior synonym of pantherina, a nominal species originally included in Dyspessa. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iv), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species. | |
| Type Comments: | Cited by Hübner, 1790, ibidem 2 (1): 29, where the species was described as *hepialina Borkhausen |
