Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1984) stated:- A junior homonym of Richardia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Mém. prés. div. Sav. Acad. Sci. Inst. Fr. 2: 728 - Insecta, Diptera. The objective replacement name is Buszkoiana Kocak, 1981. Richardia Buszko, 1978, was established as a subgenus of Platyptilia Hübner, [1825]. On page 774 of Zeller's paper the name of the type-species was published as * Ptorophorus * Capnodaetylus, an incorrect subsequent spelling of the genus-group name and an incorrect (of a multiple) original spelling of the species-group name. P. capnodactylus was a Fischer von Roeslerstamm manuscript name made nomenclaturally available by Zeller. Buszkoiana is the objective replacement name for the preoccuppied name Richardia Buszko, 1978, nec Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, (Diptera) by Kocak 1981, Priamus 1 (1) : 10.
