Taxonomic Notes:

Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, Novit. zool. 9 (suppl.): 29 (key) spelled this name as ‡Amphomoea (an incorrect (of a multiple) original spelling) and is here interpreted as a lapsus calami/typographical error. The spelling as Amphimoea given by Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, Novit. zool. 9 (suppl.): 60 (and elsewhere in that work), and by all subsequent authors, is accepted as the correct original spelling.
