Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- Incorrect type-species designation: P. strigilis, cited by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Lépid.) 1: 144. Boisduval in his lengthy 154 page Introduction, reviewed earlier classifications and designated up to three different type-species for each generic name. In his 'Exposé de notre méthodé from page 155- 690, no type-species designations were made for the genera he himself used. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iii), the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he stated that it is the type '. . . and if it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species.' Boisduval's type-designations although clearly stated do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not in the past been accepted by Hemming or other authors. Miana is a junior objective synonym of Oligia Hübner, [1821]. See: OLIGIA Hübner, [1821] 1816. Poole (1989) included MIANA Stephens, 1829; and PROCUS Agassiz, 1846 as junior synonyms of OLIGIA Hübner, 1821.
