A preliminary annotated checklist of the Brahmaeidae of the world – Part VI. Systematics and literature (Lepidoptera: Brahmaeidae)

"The following contribution to knowledge the family Brahmaeidae SWINHOE, 1892 (Lepidoptera) is part of the series "Brahmaeidae of the World", which should give a complete overview of this family after completion. New results of studies and new names were incorporated as far as they were known from literature up to the time of printing and were accessible to us. On the basis of about 400 individual publications, an attempt was made to create an up-to-date and almost complete overview of the literature on the family Brahmaeidae. The scope made it necessary to subdivide the information into certain subject areas as expediently as possible, which should facilitate subsequent additions or corrections. Part VI deals specifically with the systematics of the taxa in the genera Brahmaea WALKER, 1855 and Dactyloceras MELL in Hering in Seitz, 1927 and a compilation of further readings on the family Brahmaeidae SWINHOE, 1892. With this last work in this series for the time being, our bibliographical compilation is provisionally completed. This first coherent analysis of the family Brahmaeidae is not intended to represent a generic revision, but merely to show the current state of knowledge and provide a good working basis for further studies on the family Brahmaeidae SWINHOE, 1892."
