Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Tutt stated incorrectly that the type of Agrius Hübner, [1819], had been 'fixed as cingulata by Hübner ante 1826`. Tutt statement, however, satisfies the provision of Article 69(a)(iii) of the Code which states that '... an author is considered to have designated one of the originally included nominal species as type-species, if he states that it is the type (or type-species), for whatever reason, right or wrong, and if it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Incorrect type-species designation: Agrius eremitus Hübner, [1823], a name not originally included in Agrius, and not linked with one of the originally included names when designated by Grote, 1873, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 1: 26. Kitching & Cadiou (2000) list TIMORIA Kaye, 1919 as a junior synonym of AGRIUS Hübner, 1819.
