| Taxon remarks: | Type species: Lithosia nigropunctata Wallengren, 1860. Wiener entomologische Monatschrift 4(2): 46. By subsequent designation by Hampson, 1900. Catalogue of the Lepidoptera Phalaenae in the British Museum 2: 389. A junior homonym of Melania Lamarck, 1799. There is no objective replacement name but Lithosia nigropunctata Wallengren, 1860 is a junior subjective synonym of Siccia caffra Walker, 1854. Siccia Walker, 1854 is therefore available as a subjective replacement name. |
