Taxon remarks:Type species: Microniodes obliqua Hampson, 1893. Illustrations of typical specimens of Lepidoptera Heterocera in the collection of the British Museum. Part IX.—The Macrolepidoptera Heterocera of Ceylon: 139; pl. 168, fig. 21. By monotypy. A junior homonym of Microniodes Maassen, 1890 [Epiplemidae]. There is no objective replacement name, but M. obliqua is congeneric with Myrteta planaria Walker, 1861, the type-species of Myrteta Walker, 1861; the latter is thus available as a subjective replacement name.
