Orothalassodes Holloway, 1996

(Moore, [1887])
Thalassodes albomaculata
Hampson, 1895
Orothalassodes albomaculata
Kirti, Goyal & Kaur, 2012
Notes
Kirti et al. (2012)
published the name
Orothalassodes albomaculata
as a new combination for
Thalassodes albomaculata
. However,
T. albomaculata
had already been synonymised with
Thalassodes leucospilota
Moore by
Hampson (1896)
, which was then transferred to
Orothalassodes
by
Holloway (1996)
. Thus, the current valid name for this species is still
Orothalassodes leucospilota
.
