Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was included by Duponchel as "E. dorsana", i.e., Pyralis dorsana Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent.: 654. Leraut, 1980, Liste syst. syn. Lépid. Fr. Belg. Corse: 98, placed "dorsana sensu Duponchel" as a misidentification of jungiella Clerk, originally spelt as * Iungiella but altered to jungiella in a later part of the same work. The latter spelling is in general current use and is treated here as a justified emendation of an incorrect original spelling. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is so to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species Ephippiphora the nominal species actually involved, namely Phalaena jungiella Clerk, 1759. Ephippiphora was again proposed by Duponchel, 1834, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lépid. Papillons Fr. 9: 22; 1835, ibidem 9: 304. See also: Ephippiophora Agassiz, 1847; Stigmonota Guenée, 1845.
