Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior objective synonym of Timandra Duponchel, 1829. Invalid designation of type-species: Timandra griseata Petersen, 1902, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 146 (but cited as amataria Linnaeus, a misidentification; see under Timandra Duponchel, 1829). In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designation as many as four different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre méthode', pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any genera that he himself used. Under Article 69(a)(iii) of the Code, the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states 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 to lepidopterists, the type-species designations have not accepted by Hemming & other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval's type-species designation in this case would make no difference to the generic concept. Bradyepetes was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 128; and 1831, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 3: 201. See: TIMANDRA Duponchel, 1829 [April 4]. Parsons et al. (1999) included BRADYEPETES Stephens, 1829 [June]; and BRADYPETES Agassiz, 1847 as junior synonyms of TIMANDRA Duponchel, 1829 [April 4].
