Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- A junior homonym of Elachypteryx Turner, 1908, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust. 32: 80, - Lepid., Pyralidae. There is no objective replacement name but Meyrick, 1922, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 180: 150, placed E. suffusca Turner, 1919, as a junior synonym of Pholeutis neolecta Meyrick, 1906, the type-species of Pholeutis Meyrick, 1906; the latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name.
