Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- The only species that Herrich-Schäffer included in Ephoria was listed by him as 'Ephoria m. paradoxa Cr. 347. D. (ephora)'. The name paradoxa was proposed unnecessarily by Herrich-Schäffer as am objective replacement name. Ephoria was included by Herrich-Schäffer in his 'Synopsis familiarum Lepidoterorum' which was published first in Syst. Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 6: 82-132. The title page of volume 6 is dated 1843-1856, but Herrich-Schäffer, 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver Regensburg 23: 214 has stated that Hefte 68 (which included the SYnopsis) was published in 1855; the Heft wrapper is so dated. The same Synopsis was included in Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1: 2-52. The title-page of this work is dated 1850-1858, but Gerstaecker, 1857, Archiv Naturgesch. 23 (2): 431, has stated that pages 1-52 were published in 1856. Further information is given in Fletcher, 1979, Generic Names Moths World 3: xii.
