Abstract:

"The species group Euchera Hübner, [1826] 1816, rev. stat. (= Stibolepis Butler, 1878), rev. syn. is rejected from the Phiala Wallengren, 1860, and considered as an own genus including 3 species. Two new combinations are established: Euchera fervidaria (Fabricius, 1787) nov. comb., and Euchera albida (Plötz, 1880) nov. comb. The following new synonymies here are established: Euchera fervidaria (Fabricius, 1787), = Stibolepis nivea Butler, 1878, nov. syn., = Phiala (Stibilepis) ochriventris Strand, 1911, nov. syn., and Euchera albida (Plötz, 1880) = Stibolepis abluta Holland, 1893, nov. syn. The male lectotype is designated for Phalaena fervidaria Fabricius, 1787 from the BMNH collection."
