Fabricius [Gn. Ins. 159 (1777) ] wrote of his genus Sesia: ‘ Victus larvae e foliis 
plantarum, imaginis e nectare florum,” thus excluding the wood-boring Tineids, for 
the reception of which he described the genus Aegeria F. (1807), and limiting the 
Type of Sesia to stellatarum L. and fuciformis L., F., the only species with whose 
larvae he was acquainted. Goeze [Ent. Btr. Lin. Nat. Ges. 3 (2) 133 (1780)] and 
Cuvier [Tabl. Element. NH. 593 (1798)] both regarded stellatarum as the Type of 
Sesia F.; but Laspeyres [Ses. Europ. (1801)] and Schrank [Fn. Boica 2 (1) 153-4, 
932-5 no. 203 sp. 1897-1402 (1801)] referred all the wood-boring Tineids to Sesia, 
in which they have been followed by many writers.
